YEAR
2022
The modern Aleja shopping centre stands in the Šiška district of Ljubljana (Slovenia). Opened in 2020, the building has an impressive commercial floor area of 32,000 m² and comprises 80 shops, restaurants, service providers and leisure facilities (the roof, for example, houses catering services and a leisure and sports zone of 6,200 m² for walks, sports and adventure).
The entire building is a real homage to the city of Ljubljana: on the exterior, the diamond-shaped stainless-steel tiles combine with the security double glazing to produce the shapes of the scales of a dragon, the symbol of the city.

bakery & hotel (BED-BIKE-BREAD)
Located in the tourist village of Csopak, in Hungary, Buborék Csopak offers a cosy place for cyclists and nature walk enthusiasts to stay all year round, accompanied by various other services (BED-BIKE-BREAD). The building was completely refurbished in June 2022 to create a location that houses not only a bakery, but also a bike shop and a hotel. The upper floor has been repurposed to provide a comfortable place where travellers can stay the night and recharge their batteries (in more ways than one!).
What architects Eszter Bertóty and Edit Móder were aiming for was to create a space that was both functional and inviting, featuring a clean contemporary design born from a fusion of Scandinavian and Mediterranean moods.
Bathed in neutral tones, the interiors are furnished with modern furniture with natural materials predominating throughout. Inside the building then, the bakery's characteristic counter, the fireplace, and the bathrooms walls are all tiled with Ceramica Fondovalle porcelain stoneware from the Res Art collection, in the Talc, Pottery and Mud shades.Res art -
Pizzeria Meggie La Capricciosa
An ambitious project and a sentimental choice (akin to love), the Maggie La Capricciosa pizzeria owes its name to its owners' passion for pizza. Celebrating their love of traditional Neapolitan pizzas, the pizzeria has taken the name of the classic of classics, the Margherita, and invented a pet name for it, Maggie.

VN Medical Clinic
A state-of-the-art clinic where beauty is the essence.
A place of precision and passion, dedicated to detail to provide the ultimate wellness experience. This is Modena VN Medical Clinic, a cosmetic and anti-aging clinic that celebrates the uniqueness of each client, offering personalised care within an elegant, inviting ambiance.Warm and sophisticated, the space - measuring about 200 m2 and encompassing the reception area, waiting room, and treatment rooms - embodies a refined minimalism in its design with an elegantly understated but still clearly visible style. It is precisely this design philosophy that led to the choice of Ceramica Fondovalle to decorate the clinic’s interiors: From the waiting areas to the treatment rooms, the ceramic slabs from the Background, Komi, and Infinito 2.0 collections take centre stage, showcasing a sophisticated aesthetic that flows seamlessly through the different spaces, creating a stunning continuity of expression.
