STX Motorhomes
Fluid lines and attractive designs: the luxury motorhomes of the Belgian STX brand exude a refined mix of elegance and flair. Distinctive for their sporty and dynamic appeal, the interiors of STX vehicles are what really captivate travellers. Inspired by exclusive yachts, every item of decor in these mobile homes has a bright and welcoming Scandinavian feel that will make you feel right at home, wherever you may be.
The strong contrast between the robustness of the exterior and the delicacy of the interiors makes these vehicles authentic luxury homes on wheels, their living spaces filled with leather, carbon fibre, select woods and sumptuous high-end fabrics.
In such an innovative designer setting, Ceramica Fondovalle was brought in to add a touch of glamour to the kitchen area and bathrooms of various STX motorhomes.
The common denominator of this partnership, shared by the various types of vehicles, is the use of marble-effect porcelain stoneware from the Infinito 2.0 collection, applied in various sizes and colours according to the style of the motorhome. In fact, the marble-effect products of the Infinito 2.0 collection boast different textures, criss-crossed by veins of different widths which showcase their natural and precious appearance.

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.

Villa Emy Boutique Bed&Breakfast
Nestled among palm trees and tamarisk shrubs, overlooking the sea in the Puglia town of Bisceglie, Villa Emy - a splendid Art Deco building from the 1930s - has re-emerged with a bold new identity. Following a series of refurbishments in the 1960s and its use as an events venue and cocktail bar until 2010, in 2023, architects Paolo Lettieri - founder of UPA Italia - and Pierluigi Pindinelli were assigned the restoration project which would turn the villa into an enchanting bed and breakfast.
The dialogue between heritage and modernity is balanced, with original vaults and wall partitions brought out through neutral tones and careful colour accents.

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
