ABK Group Ariana‘s collection LUCE focuses on the endless possibilities made available through combining ranges, materials, and tones. The four neutral grey shades (Perla, Acciaio, Peltro, and Piombo) are a clear stylistic choice for this reason, offering a base that can allow for industrial settings, exploration of colour, and that acts a significant partner to natural looks and stones.


The two brushed metal look tones (Oro and Verderame) are not only excellent complements to the neutral shades, but also add their own appeal and level of sophistication. This luxurious look is explored even further with the Ariana Decora designs that superimpose their patterns and imagery over the selected background texture.


The Ariana Decora slabs allow for tiles to be customised with metallic screen printed effects in the sizes 1,200 by 2,700mm and 600 by 1,200mm. In particular, the glossy gold decor in Decoro Tropici is demonstrated, standing out boldly from the resin-inspired texture of the range.

Although predominantly a large-format collection, with sizes 1,200 by 2,700mm, 1,200 by 1,200mm, 1,200 by 600mm, and 800 by 800mm, design freedom is further granted with a small white body 50 by 250mm brick format tile in both a satin and a gloss finish. The larger dry-pressed porcelain slabs are offered in a natural finish and an R11 non-slip Grip in 6mm and 9mm thicknesses. They are suitable for floors and walls in residental and comercial spaces, both indoors and out.
