IRIS CERAMICA GROUP UNITES ALL BRANDS IN A UNIQUE BOOTH AND
INTRODUCES INNOVATIVE SURFACES AND COLORS AT COVERINGS 2O23
(Orlando, FL April 2023) –For the first time at Coverings, Iris Ceramica Group, a leader in innovative architectural surfaces and high-end solutions, will exhibit its leading brands in a unique exhibition space in Booth 2619. Configured into four sections, the booth showcases materials from all the group’s divisions, representing both Made-in-Italy ceramics focused on the A&D community (Fiandre, Iris Ceramica, Ariostea, Porcelain Gres, and Sapienstone), as well as the three divisions representing Made in US materials primarily targeted to distributors - Stonepeak, Iris US, and Mediterranea. Iris Ceramica Group is creating a comprehensive new business model to elevate brand equity and boost its market position.
The collective booth design includes two dedicated meeting rooms featuring Bottega d’Arte (a premium-looking terracotta-inspired collection by Iris Ceramica) and Balance (a harmonious collection of colors in cement/resin looks). The booth’s external walls will be clad in stunning Made-in-Italy large format, marble-look surfaces - Patagonia and Blue Tempest along with Jatoba Brown and a striking combo of Panda White and Labradorite.
Pluriball, a playful new collection born from the collaboration between Iris Ceramica and Diesel Living will greet visitors at the main entrance in unique wall niche displays. The four sections will be unified by a central bar/reception desk surrounded by SapienStone’s new 4D full-body ceramics. The Hypertouch technology which offers an integrated system of home sensors that control lighting, audio-video devices, doors and windows, and cooking plates, will be on display in the Bar area and around the booth. Each of the four booth sections will have a dedicated shelving section to showcase new colors and materials.
The US-Made divisions of the group will also showcase distinctive surfaces that will be displayed across the booth. Stonepeak is exhibiting Gemma and Offroad, and introducing Klastos - three collections in the popular sizes 12x24 and 24x48. Gemma offers a selection of stunning marble and onyx looks in five colors and Offroad offers a selection of four soft limestone hues with a serene and organic feel. Klastos, Stonepeak’s latest collection is inspired by sedimentary rock and comes in five natural colors and in the innovative rich and non-reflective “honed+” finish. Iris US is showcasing Zenit – a refined collection of travertine-look porcelain surfaces and Reside, a minimalistic and contemporary collection of stone-look surfaces.
