Compatta

2023 / for Florim

A passion for earth as a natural material and for rammed earth, an ancient construction technique.

COMPATTA is a unique collection of porcelain stoneware slabs, created using the very latest ceramic product techniques, in which the “profoundly ancient” dialogues with the “state of the art”.

The effects of compacted raw earth and of the ancient rammed earth construction technique are presented from several different viewpoints. Sabbia and Argilla evoke the dense, powdery intermingling of dust and grainy muds in warm shades, which turn cool and grey in the Limo and Ghiaia colours: they are all available in 60x120, 120x120 and 120x240 cm sizes in 9 mm thickness.

The large slabs, on the other hand, reveal the sinuous stratification of layers of earth of uniform colour typical of the rammed earth building method and are available in the warm Pisé Sabbia and Pisé Melange and cool Pisé Limo and Pisé Ghiaia shades. This variant is produced in 9 mm thickness in 60x120 cm size and in 6 mm thickness in 120x280 cm, offered here by CEDIT for the first time.
