Hub: a constellation of colour

Colour is the star of Hub: the vivid new tile collection from Naxos.  In this dynamic range, ceramic surfaces are presented in bright, sometimes bold, colours that interpret the latest trends in interior design and architecture. Linear graphics, clean often asymmetrical patterns, and stylised florals are also key elements of the Hub concept.

Hub’s intensely decorative mood lends itself to the creation of striking walls, and is enhanced by the material contrasts and special satin surfaces, with pearlescent or ‘sugared’ terrazzo effects. The Hub palette ranges from cold shades echoing the environment, nature, the sky, and the sea; through to warm spice colours inspired by fashion, food, and style icons from the last few years.

The combination of white-body wall tiles and fine porcelain stoneware floor tiles makes Hub a complete design solution.  The fine porcelain stoneware floor tiles developed by Naxos for this collection can be employed for sophisticated colour and material effects in line with the latest style trends, as well as for classical tone-on-tone solutions.  They are offered in Tasso, Camaro, and Pino Grigio colours in 200 by 1,200mm with a natural surface and rectified edges; and Brume, and Soft Grey in 600 by 600mm with a natural surface, and rectified edges.
