With Kosei – which means composition in Japanese – Vincent Van Duysen proposes a range of ceramic surfaces developed with pure and tactile materials, inspired by lava rocks such as obsidian and volcanic glasses, which are homogeneous, amorphous and with exceptional hardness.
The end result is a timeless design conceived for “grand” architecture, characterised by extreme versatility thanks to the 8 formats and 5 colours that can be matched to create infinite combinations with a progressively decorative taste.
Kosei has been specifically conceived for floors, both indoors and outdoors. The collection features a wide range of
elements: the 60x180 cm, 60x90 cm, 60x60 cm, 15x90 cm, 15x60 cm, 15x30 cm and 15x15 cm formats are perfectly modular with each other and have a soft texture; in addition, the Chevron format, available in size 9.6x56.5 cm, has been created to lend depth to surfaces. The numerous elements make it possible to design elegant matt surfaces, but also allow for creativity: by choosing one or more formats and alternating the 5 available colours – Bone, Storm, Terra, Grey Green and Dark Grey – it is possible to create different harmonious yet dynamic compositions.
The collection is produced with the extrusion method, an extraordinary production process that makes it possible to obtain a high-quality product with superior technological features and an authentic and natural feel, but which is also resistant and durable. The procedure takes place in an industrial facility unique in the world, in which it is possible to produce large slabs by extruding full-body coloured bodies totally free of glaze. The products developed with this process have greater compaction, which improves their resistance to bending, stains and water.
