Villeroy & Boch at Cersaie 2013:

The interpretation of structured natural stone in porcelain stoneware –

MY EARTH: atmospheric wall and floor concept is expanded

Two years ago, with its MY EARTH wall and floor concept, Villeroy & Boch Tiles presented an attractive range of vilbostone porcelain stoneware, its quality and richness of detail inspired by the relief and structure of natural stone. The collection’s central design statement is the look of natural stone, which has been interpreted in ceramics in a broad range of colours and designs.

From 2014, MY EARTH will also be offered in the attractive, square large format of 75 x 75 cm, supplementing the existing formats of 30 x 30 cm, 30 x 60 cm and 60 x 60 cm. Choose among all of these formats in the four colours: Light Beige, Beige Multicolor, Grey Multicolor and Anthracite Multicolor. The matt basic tiles with relief effects are joined by the cut formats 10 x 60 cm and 20 x 60 cm. Mosaics bonded to a 30 x 30 cm lattice are available in all of the colours of the basic tiles. For wall decoration there are mosaic strip tiles in all four colours on mats in 30 x 50 cm format, enabling aesthetically appealing, large-area wall designs within the MY EARTH concept. They also harmonise very well in combination with other ranges, too.

Thanks to the broad selection of formats, MY EARTH can be used in countless tile-laying formats for contemporary architecture. Floor and wall coverings with MY EARTH produce very natural and welcoming atmospheres. Because the concept meets the highest aesthetic and functional standards, MY EARTH is interesting for both private and commercial properties. As a complete concept for the entire home, it is suitable for use in living and dining areas, in the hall and in the bathroom as well, where the mosaics of the range can also be used to createwalk-in showers. Because MY EARTH offers R9 and R11/B slip resistance, the range can also be used in wellness and swimming-pool areas.
