Tuscan Tile

Tuscan Tiles | Italian Travertine

Entertaining guests is an art and the kitchen is often the area which hosts our friends and entire family. The furnishings and finishes must evoke feelings of warmth and intimacy and at the same time find a balance between functionality and style.

The floor of your kitchen, in addition to having to be practical, beautiful and durable, is also a wonderful way to declare your idea of design.

Much depends on the type of kitchen you have to furnish, whether it is a separate room, a kitchenette, or an open environment that communicates with the living room and must therefore be homogeneous with the rest of the house.

The main feature however is that it must have a floor that is resistant and easy to clean: travertine, thanks to its characteristics, is very durable and can be chosen in the most suitable finish for convenient and practical use.

The same selection of travertine chosen for the flooring can also be used for the backsplash behind the stove and the sink.

SlowTile Tuscan Tiles

SlowTile, established in 2018, in Florence, Italy, stems from the encounter of the “special artists” of the “Made in Sipario” social cooperative with the Tuscan tradition of hand-glazed terracotta tiles, in collaboration with architect Leone Pecchioli, and expresses, in eight different “creative gestures/decorations,” their particular and unique creativity.

A veritable “gymnasium” for training and experimentation, that combines a special flair and artistic taste, drawing on the experience of ceramics and design sector professionals in the creation of a high-end ceramics product line. The collection is original, rooted in the local territory, and aims to offer disabled persons a true opportunity to enter the world of work, in the respect of their rhythms and ways of working.

Tuscan Tiles | Cotto Floor Tiles

Since 1780, at Ferrone, in the district of Impruneta, the Manetti family has been dedicated to the production of Cotto Imprunetino and cotto floor tiles. In the Manetti Gusmano & Figli Furnaces, in fact, Terracotta flooring and cladding tiles as well as artisanal Terracotta elements are made following the traditions of Impruneta.

The experience acquired in three centuries of activity combined with the uniqueness of clay translates into a material with unique characteristics or tuscan floor tile. Galestro clay, present in the quarries of the Fornace, represents an exclusive peculiarity of the Impruneta area and gives the Terracotte special characteristics in terms of colour, resistance, strength and porosity. The strong link with the territory and the great passion for quality are the main features of the activity. Since 1968 the Manetti family has also been known for the production of great wines in the Chianti region on the Fontodi estate.
