Marazzi presents: The Tile Club
By Editorial Staff -

The Tile Club is a temporary space created by Marazzi in order to provide a haven for people who work with tiles, or simply love them. Curated by Matteo Cibic with Studio Blanco, The Tile Club was conceived as a unique experience to host the new Grande 2018 slab collection by Marazzi, as well as special performances and ceramic paintings. Inspired by a traditional British Gentlemen’s Club, the Marazzi space is open to anybody interested in the production of tiles elevated to an art form. The Tile Club is comprised of five different rooms: a lobby with its doorman, a central open lounge, a cafe, a wunderkammer and a bistrot. The Tile Club was designed using Marazzi 2018 Grande collection, which adds the bigger sizes 160x320 cm and 162x324 cm to the regular 120x120 cm and 120x240 cm slabs. Two different thicknesses, 6 and 12 mm, and new looks inspired by the most exquisite marbles, the tactile personality of concrete or the mineral allure of metals.
