Glazed porcelain stoneware

M+ Primal - LO STUDIO + Massimo Nadalini

Primal is characterized by a surface that is not perfectly regular and by an aesthetic in seeded, whose uneven distribution and changes of tone are desired. The random arrangement of the material ensures maximum surface naturalness.

We wanted to design a material that would fall outside an accurate classification.
We started from the patches of ancient floors in which the original surface, worn or broken, is sealed with portions of new material generating irregularities and randomness of patterns on the surface.

Primal is an investigation of recovery surfaces in which elements of different materials coexist harmoniously.

Primal has a thickness of 10 mm and is available in 5 colors in the format 90×90 cm and in 4 colors in the format 60×120 cm.

The mosaic becomes a seamless surface, when the chips and the joint generate a single pattern that overcomes the sheet’s outline.

Cuts of matter from out of square geometries enter a regular grid where the joints mark the rhythm of the gaze.
Crack! resolutely shifts the point of view from the chips to the grid that contains them, reaching continuity through a dialogue between container and joint.

Crack! is a glazed porcelain stoneware mosaic suitable for indoor and outdoor floor and wall tiles, composed of elements with edges cut irregularly and glued on fibreglass mesh to obtain 300×300 mm modules.

Glazed porcelain stoneware

XXL is a new surface composed of small and large segments, square and rectangular-shaped, mounted on fibreglass mesh. Randomly laid, XXL creates a balance mix of shapes and sizes as the weaving of a seamless carpet.

M+ XXL - Marialaura Irvine

XXL makes no difference between vertical or horizontal, its geometry adapts to any type of environment thanks to the textures of its segments that, in their mono-materiality, they are different from each other.

M+ XXL design Marialaura Irvine

A contemporary mosaic that vibrates with the passage of light, making it a three-dimensional surface.

XXL consists of 2 modules with different layouts: the distribution of the elements on the sheets and the random laying allow to create surfaces of great decorative impact and, at the same time, design rigour.

XXL is available in all the colours of Primal, of which it is an ideal complement.
