The wide range of flavours is reproduced in the colour palette used to create the shop’s furnishings and fittings, which work with a dominant shade – white – to produce a creative finish.
Fondovalle was the ideal partner to reinforce this architectural philosophy, with offerings for floors, walls, and also items of furniture such as the countertop, the shelves in the cafe, and the tables for customers.
Shards (in the Small White and Small Gray versions) and Infinito 2.0 (in the Calacatta Gold and Ombra di Caravaggio colour options) encapsulate the essence of Ocean Beyond Blue, making it an attractive, contemporary café.
The light bouncing off the shards embedded in porcelain stoneware bring depth and a distinctive nature to the furniture created – such as tables and shelves – and the tiled areas of the ice cream & coffee shop.

Bosideng Fashion Store (2021-2022)
Located on South Molton Street, so just off Oxford Street and in the heart of London, the Bosideng Fashion Store is an stunning example of sophisticated contemporary design created by Milan-based architectural firm Cristofori Santi. Its unusual "V" shape makes it a landmark building in the area, whose inimitable, avant-garde aesthetic captures the attention of visitors and architecture enthusiasts.

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.

ALEJA shopping centre in Ljubljana
The Aleja shopping centre was constructed with materials of the very highest quality. Ceramica Fondovalle was chosen to cover the interiors of the delicatessen sector of the Interspar hypermarket with concrete effect porcelain stoneware tiles from the Portland collection, in Lassen colour and 120x60 size.
Thanks to the striking patterning which resembles hand-trowelled concrete, the overall visual impact is extremely attractive. The simple, neutral colour adds value to the location, transforming the area into a small corner to be savoured with the eyes.
