At Cersaie 2026, Fondovalle transformed its booth into a contemporary Grand Hotel, welcoming clients and visitors among new collections and porcelain stoneware solutions that speak of architecture, design, and innovation.
The concept: spaces to experience
The “Fondovalle Grand Hotel” took its cue from the refined atmosphere of the great hotels overlooking the lakes of Northern Italy, reinterpreting their charm in a story of architecture, hospitality, and material. Welcoming, light-filled spaces rich in detail were the stage for new collections and introductions, where surfaces inspired by stone, marble, and resin interacted with furnishings, fabrics, and vegetation. An immersive journey invited visitors to experience each space rather than simply pass through it, expressing a contemporary and sophisticated language built on elegance, ease, and design research.
New collections
Among the innovations for floors and walls, two new collections enhance ceramic material through 3D Texture technology.
Chianca reinterprets the authentic beauty of Salento stone in four pale, luminous shades, capturing the understated charm of Mediterranean architecture through 3D Texture technology. Enriched by the Gessato and Tratti decors, it is completed by the Grip Outdoor finish and the 2cm 2.OUT thickness, for total continuity between indoors and outdoors.
Mineralis is born from the fusion of mineral suggestions, offering an original stone effect with 3D Texture technology in warm, enveloping tones that combine aesthetic research, technical performance, and symbolic value in the service of contemporary design.
Range expansions
Fondovalle is also enriching its portfolio with new interpretations of established series and projects.
Slaten Stone welcomes the new Black color, a split-stone effect surface in deep, dark tones of strong expressive power, where 3D Texture technology brings out reliefs, mineral details, and chromatic variations.
Res Art expands the historic resin-effect collection with two new shades, also in large format: Ice and Dune, soft, luminous colors that preserve the refined material quality of the range—ideal for pairing with the warmer, more neutral tones of the Fondovalle collections.
Infinito 2.0 now has five new surfaces in the 120cm x 278cm (roughly 47” x 109.5”) size, reinterpreting marbles and quartzites through luminous textures, deep veining, and material details of extraordinary naturalness. From the purest aesthetics with the backlit effect of Cristallo and Vitrum Light, to the rich three-dimensional movement of Mont Blanc and Glacier, through to the crystalline surfaces of Pentelico, each proposal enhances light as a design element.
MyTop and the new ALL-BODY revolution
The hotel vignette offered an outstanding showcase for the new MyTop proposals: 12mm porcelain stoneware slabs inspired by marbles and natural stones for kitchen countertops, counters, tables, bespoke furniture, and decorative elements. Within the exhibition story, every surface found its natural place in the settings of contemporary hospitality, turning mock reception areas, lounges, restaurants, suites, and spa into places where material, architecture, and design speak to one another with refined continuity.
This year’s major innovation is ALL-BODY, the result of Fondovalle’s Research & Development applied to 163cm x 324cm (roughly 64” x 127.5”) slabs in 12mm thickness. The aim of this revolution is to carry the color tone of the surface through the body of the slab, which is enriched with chromatic variations and mineral inclusions of different grain sizes faithful to the stone that inspired them, reproducing inside the slab the same chromatic characteristics as the surface. The result is seamless continuity between surface, edge and core, which enhances cutting, drilling and finishing operations, making the slab ideal for furnishing applications such as kitchen and bathroom countertops, tables, and bespoke furniture.
Four new ALL-BODY proposals expand the Stone Lab series:
- Limestone: A beige limestone with a minimalist aesthetic, enriched with subtle inclusions that emphasize its authenticity on a natural finish, enhanced by the All-Body composition that amplifies its material continuity even in exposed cuts.
- Perla Venata: Inspired by the elegant marble of Turkey, it embellishes its uniform cream ground with soft clouding and white veining on a natural finish, with an All-Body composition that maintains aesthetic continuity between surface, edge, and thickness.
- Piasentina: Burnished grey shades, coppery tones, and slender white veining convey the full personality of this stone, made on an All-Body porcelain stoneware body worked with 3D Texture Technology that brings out the depth and material quality of the surface.
- Porfido: Inspired by the volcanic rock of the same name, it interprets its strength through a texture rich in mineral details and crystals combined with warm colors. Thanks to the combination of All-Body and 3D Texture Technology, the surface offers aesthetic continuity and material presence.
Further expanding the MyTop range is the new Infinito 2.0 variant Pentelico. The purity of the marble quarried from the mountain of the same name in Greece takes shape in a luminous surface, characterized by a compact grain and delicate grey veining with soft natural shifts toward gold. The microcrystals of Crystal Polished technology give the surface a distinctive transparency and brilliance.
