Full Body³: Fiandre redefines architectural surfaces

Full Body³ – available from Fiandre, a brand of Iris Ceramica Group – is said to redefine the concept of architectural surfaces. This patented, cutting-edge technology combines craftsmanship, ceramic expertise, and advanced industrial processes. The result is hailed as delivering a one-of-a-kind material: compact, homogeneous, durable, and visually consistent throughout its entire thickness.

The core of Full Body³ technology lies in its ability to create surfaces that are not just coverings, but true, full-bodied material elements. Thanks to their deep and homogeneous composition, the slabs maintain both aesthetics and performance even in the event of impact, wear, or damage. Each slab is made with at least 40% recycled raw materials, making Full Body³ a conscious ecological choice.

The result is a material that goes beyond the surface: a solid body where aesthetics originate from the matter itself, giving life to an immersive sensorial experience, both visual and tactile.

Two outstanding Fiandre collections epitomise the potential of Full Body³. The first is Pulsar, where the visual and tactile strength of stone meets the unpredictability of nature, creating slabs that are always different, authentic, and profound. Enriched this year with a new 20 mm thickness that makes it ideal for outdoor applications, ensuring continuity between spaces, Pulsar is available in five shades: Snow Pulsar, Graphite Pulsar, Gravel Pulsar, Silt Pulsar, and Dune Pulsar. Each comes in three exclusive finishes: Silky, offering a smooth, velvety surface; Natural Plus, with a textured feel and understated appearance; and Structured, which plays with reliefs and shadows to accentuate three-dimensionality.

The second is Il Veneziano, inspired by the tradition of Venetian terrazzo flooring, reinterpreted in a contemporary key with a refined, mineral, and textured design. Available in six colours, five formats, and two finishes (natural or polished), Il Veneziano adapts perfectly to contemporary architectural projects, offering design freedom and customisation upon request. In its Active Surfaces® version, it also provides antibacterial, antiviral, anti-pollution, and self-cleaning properties.
