Colours, material effects and highly innovative exclusive technologies will be on display in the space at Coverings 2024 reserved for the brands ABK, Flaviker, Desvres Ariana, ABKStone and Materia
22 April 2024 – Coverings, the preeminent North American ceramic tile and natural stone exhibition, has been chosen by ABK Group as the ideal platform for presenting its new collections, style inspirations and extraordinary applications of the most advanced production technologies. The group’s booths #3344 and #3544 in the Georgia World Congress Center in Atlanta will serve as a prestigious showcase where visitors can discover the latest offerings from ABK, Flaviker, Desvres Ariana and the specialist large slab brands ABKStone and Materia.
ABK is expanding its SENSI range of marble-inspired surfaces by continuously integrating innovative proposals and solutions. SENSI Nuance, a collection developed through extensive research into coloured marble in keeping with contemporary interior design trends, comes in five colour versions and the four surface finishes Soft, Soft 3D, Lux 3D and Naturale P.TECH. These options cater to modern aesthetic preferences while attaining the highest technical and design standards.
The SENSI Fantasy collection represents a contemporary reinterpretation of marble decoration and stands out for its unique three-dimensional material effects and decorative patterns. Available in large sizes, SENSI Fantasy is perfect for customising spaces in residential, commercial and public interiors.
Flaviker is unveiling its new DOUBLE collection, inspired by the understated elegance of Portland stone, a material sourced from the eponymous island off the coast of Dorset that is widely used in British architecture. This collection is available with two distinct yet complementary graphic designs: Plain, which is compact and elegant, and Linear, which is directional and features slight variations in tone. Both designs are available in four colours. By exploiting the Group’s most advanced and exclusive technologies, Flaviker has elevated the DOUBLE collection into a broad and versatile range that is ideally suited for both interior and exterior design applications, as well as for creating customised furniture elements.
Desvres Ariana introduces to the USA a distinctive blend of French savoir-faire and Italian creativity through its unique and elegant collections. A prime example of this fusion is the MEMENTO collection, which encapsulates the allure of historical architecture in porcelain stoneware suitable for both indoor and outdoor applications. The collection, aptly referred to as a “stone box”, features three stones of European origin, each reinterpreted in a palette of six colours that exude a rustic-chic essence. This carefully curated range offers a comprehensive and refined colour palette, from warm, vibrant hues to deep tones with cool accents.
The large slabs produced using exclusive FullVein3D technology are one of the real highlights of the ABK Group’s booths. The ABKStone and Materia catalogues now include marble-effect designs of extraordinary realism, a testament to ABK Group’s ongoing plant innovations and research. FullVein3D technology meticulously recreates the veins found in natural materials, not just on the surface but throughout the slab’s entire thickness, ensuring impeccable visual continuity even after the slabs are cut, drilled or finished. These large ceramic slabs, available in thicknesses of 6, 12 and 20 mm, have become key elements in modern furnishing and kitchen designs. The fact that they are so easy to work with makes them ideal for creating custom worktops and furniture elements, offering outstanding performance and aesthetic appeal.
