Adage Collection

Novoceram, French ceramic producer since 1863, unveils a collection of tiles in coloured body porcelain stoneware white, marble effect for the interior.

Adage is a collection of tiles in coloured body porcelain stoneware that Novoceram, French ceramic producer since 1863, has designed for interior floors and walls.

Adage proposes the reinterpretation in ceramic material of four classic Italian white-based marbles in an innovative matte finish with extraordinary technical features.

Thanks to the development of a new exclusive material, it was in fact possible to obtain an extremely matte surface that is pleasant to the touch, which nevertheless has exceptional characteristics of resistance to wear, scratches and slipping. This makes it possible to use Adage marble-effect porcelain stoneware tiles in all those contexts where technical characteristics are required that would be prohibitive both for the natural material and for the ceramic reproductions in glossy finish.

Also from an aesthetic point of view, the non-reflective and almost sugary aspect gives the floor a new and contemporary connotation, which however is connected to a type of surface finish that natural marble distributors are increasingly proposing to replace the classic glossy and reflective finish.

Adage is offered in Calacatta versions, with marked and important veins with shades ranging from warm gray, to ocher, to rust; Statuario, with the classic bluish gray veins of ample breadth; Arabescato, a precious arabesque of golden veins that fade into greenish details; Michelangelo, a pure white just drawn by light bluish gray veins.
In addition to the 60×120 and 80×80 porcelain stoneware floor sizes, the four Adage marbles are also available in a white-body and glossy finish wall version.

The decorative proposal is enriched by an 8×80 cm stoneware strip, a 5×5 cm mosaic and a precious decorated mosaic.
