1. Sinestesia by LeaCeramiche

2. Pulp by 41zero42

3. Cave by Saime Ceramiche

4. Majesty by Sodai

In choosing these collections, TAF has consciously decided to make a selection that could offer something unique. 

The marbles of 41zero42, for example, have white backgrounds, thus emphasizing the colored veins, and playing with a strong impact. The coloured veins allow their marble-effect porcelain stonewares to be used even inside water areas with a rough finish perfect for swimming pools, shower trays, etc ..
On the contrary, the SODAI marbles has a huge visual impact thanks to the strong basic colours such as reds, greens, with white veins.

Therefore, both the marbles of 41zero42 and SODAI have worked with opposite contrasts, but tracing back to coloured marbles, actually proposing something different and innovative from a design point of view.
SAIME, on the other hand, has focused more on classic marbles, while LEA Ceramiche, unique of its kind, has chosen to use classic marbles but at the same time has launched new textures, even with new colors and no longer the usual whites and grays. Moreover, LEA Ceramiche offers white backgrounds with large impact veins, and very silky finishes to the touch, similar to the real marble before being sanded and polished.
Each of these brands therefore differ from the other thanks to specific characteristics that make their marbles unique.
