Trevi Cross: A Historic Material for the Future of Design

As appealing to the modern architectural masters as it was to the ancient Romans, travertine has a history that spans the ages. Even today, it’s prized for its expressive power, dynamism, and ability to convey purity and elegance. This is why Ceramiche Keope chose travertine as the inspiration for its Trevi line. And the line has now grown with the new Trevi Cross, a version that features an elegant cross cut, which contrasts with the more traditional vein cut. While the vein cut highlights travertine’s horizontal striations and creates an ethereal, sophisticated appearance, the cross cut gives porcelain stoneware an elevated compactness and a delicate cloudy effect. The resulting dynamism is subtle, shaped by shifting light and colors. Likewise, the patterns are balanced and soft, with changing tones that complement the background color.

The Trevi line’s color palette creates an aura of prestige and exclusivity, with its nature-inspired tones including Walnut, Ivory, Pearl, and White. Likewise, the tiles’ inherent luminosity takes its cue from nature’s four elements of air, water, earth, and fire. This chromatic variety makes Trevi suitable for any application, from living areas to bathrooms, high-end commercial spaces, and private residential settings.

The line’s versatility is further enhanced by its finishes and patterns. Among the most distinctive finishes are the easy-on-the-eye Silky and Spazzolato R10, with its deep, well-defined brushed texture. There are also 3D designs that transform walls into three-dimensional landscapes. An interplay of light and shade reinterprets travertine’s classic elegance through a contemporary lens, imparting a dynamism to any space.

The line’s versatility is also reflected in the selection of sizes, ranging from 30x60 to 60x120, right up to the large 120x278 cm slab, a format that ensures uniform, seamless coverage in large, modern settings. The tiles bring the past into the present, transforming spaces of all kinds into sanctuaries of natural beauty.
