Italian Ceramic Tiles by Ceramica Bardelli at Tortona Design District 2026
The new Italian ceramic tiles collection by Riccardo Capuzzo
Aquatic Creatures: ceramic tiles design between imagination and sound
The surface can be storytelling.
It can become atmosphere, rhythm, vision.
Aquatic Creatures was born to transform ceramics into a language.
Aquatic Creatures, the new collection of ceramic tiles by Ceramica Bardelli designed by Riccardo Capuzzo, belongs to this second category: a surface that does not simply decorate, but suggests atmospheres, evokes depth, and ignites a visual language.
On February 26, 2026, in the heart of Milan’s Tortona Design District, Ceramica Bardelli will present Aquatic Creatures at Tortona Lab Milano, in an event conceived as an immersive experience: a meeting between material, design, and narrative.
A marine universe becoming surface
The aquatic world is, by definition, a world of constantly evolving forms: organisms, details, textures, vibrations. An ecosystem shaped by micro-structures and signs, irregular geometries, sudden symmetries, and a visual energy capable of captivating without ever becoming predictable.
Aquatic Creatures originates from this.
From an observation that is both poetic and rigorous: transforming inspiration into a decorative system and translating suggestion into an applicable ceramic tiles design project for contemporary interior design.
Ceramics thus becomes an expressive medium. A skin that can be architecture, but also storytelling. A material capable of holding light, depth, and graphic gesture.
An immersive experience: ceramic tiles design and live music
The presentation of the collection will be accompanied by a live piano performance, in a continuous dialogue between imagination and sound.
The music will not be a simple accompaniment, but a narrative element: a rhythm alternating with the designer’s voice, amplifying the experience and creating a deeper connection between audience and project.
A different way of presenting this ceramic tiles collection: not only through images or technical sheets, but through atmosphere. A time dedicated to discovery, listening, and vision.
Tortona Lab Milano: where design culture takes shape
The event will take place at Tortona Lab Milano, Via Tortona 34: a space created to foster synergies among companies and professionals within the bathroom and interior design ecosystem.
A place conceived for design culture: where materials, expertise, and visions meet. Where surfaces become part of a broader narrative shaped by research, industrial craftsmanship, and innovation.
Aquatic Creatures marks the beginning of a journey that, in the coming months, will bring new opportunities for connection and in-depth exploration dedicated to architects, interior designers, contractors, and industry professionals interested in contemporary ceramic tiles design.
