The Acidic series chosen for the Residenza Carle lends the building sophistication but also an original, unique personality.
Measuring 120×120 cm, the size of the slabs highlights the strength and warmth of the corten steel shade, combining tradition and creativity within a ceramics collection that brings out all the beauty of this metal. The seamless finish curtain walls built with Acidic, with its contrasting light and shade, increase the visual impact of the entire building.
But the aesthetics are not the only area in which the building has been enhanced. Fondovalle’s Italian-made porcelain stoneware also guarantees the maximum functional performance (in terms of durability and strength) that only ceramics can provide and has been integrated with a pioneering coat system to ensure full insulation with advanced thermal and energy specifications.

SPA-LEVEL UP
Located in the place where one of Europe’s most important prehistoric cultures originated, Belgrade has two opposing souls brimming with identities which face up, briefly touch and then separate. Urban concrete and the coexistence of different ethnicities and traditions combine with art, design and a vibrant night life to offer visitors a city with an important past, but strongly oriented towards the future.
In this context, suspended between reminders of history and a focus on tomorrow, Ceramica Fondovalle’s Made in Italy products were selected to provide stylish, elegant coverings for some locations of Level UP, a luxury spa in the Serbian capital.
Different sizes and colour shades decorated the facility’s pool area with a blend of sophistication and welcoming warmth. The Fondovalle brand products enhanced the beauty of the floors and walls with the quality and refined aesthetic of porcelain stoneware.

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
