DESIGNER
Studio Arch.O, Naples
YEAR
Located in San Vitaliano, just outside the Neapolitan town of Noto, Maggie La Capricciosa was created using the experience and flair of Naples-based firm Studio Arch.O. The artistic aim was to craft a vintage-feel setting with contemporary design accents.
But the restaurant’s real architectural strength and style lie in the flooring, made by Ceramica Fondovalle,
with the Shards series used throughout the entire venue, including the toilets.
Studio Arch.O chose the Large solution, as it appreciated the modern slant on Terazzo tiling offered by the use of larger than usual particles embedded in the material.

Small but full of life, provincial but steeped in history, and filled with tourist attractions, Tartu is held to be the 'spiritual' capital of Estonia and is also home to one of the oldest universities in Northern Europe, with students making up one seventh of the city's population.

Les Jardins de Madeleine
In the north-eastern tip of France on the west bank of the Rhine river, near the border with Germany and Switzerland lies Alsace, a crossover of cultures which is one of the smallest but also most fascinating regions of France.
Bernardvillé extends along the legendary Route des Vins, or the Wine Route, in a natural, perfectly preserved panoramic route consisting of 170 km of vineyards. In this area stands the Domaine Les jardins de Madeleine wine estate.Komi -

Clinica Dobrobut
Cradle of the Slavic civilisation, melting pot of different cultures, bridge between the East and the West, today the city boasts an infinite array of both cultural and panoramic attractions. From Saint Sophia Cathedral to Saint Michael’s Monastery, through to the best known districts like Podil, Kyiv never ceases to amaze and is also home to numerous parks and important museums.
The city is also the location of the private Dobrobut clinics, jewel in the crown of the local health service, which consist of 12 medical centres qualified in accordance with modern international standards. Equipped with all the latest technologies, the Dobrobut Clinics are modern and welcoming facilities.
And it was in one of these facilities that the allure and functionality of Ceramica Fondovalle branded products was chosen to elegantly furnish some of the internal spaces of the building.

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
