Pastelli by Appiani

The new full-body porcelain stoneware mosaic that combines materiality, color and hygiene

pastelli 10x10

Appiani, a brand of Gruppo Bardelli and a benchmark in the production of high-quality ceramic mosaics, presents at Cersaie 2025 a new and important evolution of the Pastelli collection: the debut of the 10×10 cm format, a significant step that enriches the range and expands the design possibilities of the full-body porcelain stoneware collection.

The new 10×10 cm format, available both as loose pieces and mounted on mesh, reinterprets mosaic in a contemporary, design-oriented way, while preserving the artisanal spirit and attention to detail that are typical of Appiani. The generous proportions and solid surface allow for a more intense perception of color, enhancing neutral tones and continuous surfaces, with reduced joints seamlessly integrated into the design. The new format is available in both flat and textured versions, with a light relief that creates effects of light and shadow on the cladding.

Pastelli represents the most authentic dimension of mosaic, fully in tune with Appiani’s tradition, which seeks strong aesthetic emotion along the path of innovation. Indestructible yet delicate in appearance, the Appiani collection is designed to bring the architecture of living spaces back to an original, bespoke dimension, at times with a naïve flavor.

This collection is made from a special mixture: full-body porcelain stoneware, composed of pigmented clays and earths pressed throughout the entire body and enriched with colorants. The result is an extremely resistant ceramic, with antibacterial, antifungal, and stain-resistant properties, thanks to the special Bioshield+ antibacterial protection.
