NS APPENNINO
The Appennino porcelain stoneware slab captures the timeless beauty of Turkish marble with its striking red and gold veins set against a refined grey background. Designed for both indoor and outdoor applications, it transforms floors, walls, and surfaces into stunning focal points. Its durable composition makes it ideal for everything from wall cladding to statement tabletops, ensuring both style and longevity.
In a contemporary setting, the Appennino slab becomes the perfect balance of design and functionality, bringing warmth and modern sophistication to the space. Its bold marble-inspired texture elevates the kitchen, adding an air of elegance, while the Entice Browned Oak Natural slab on the floor introduces a natural warmth. The fusion of these materials creates a visually dynamic contrast, where sleek contemporary elements are softened by the organic beauty of wood, resulting in a refined and inviting atmosphere.
