Ceramica Fondovalle, which has always been committed to combining the development of new materials with evolving style trends, was chosen to convey the design language of this project. The expressive features of the porcelain stoneware collections formed a leitmotif running through the six rooms of Villa Emy, crafting a careful balance between tradition and individuality. While the strong contrasts of the stone-effect Planeto collection turn the floors in the communal areas into a key feature, Dream is the soul of the project.
Offering a contemporary slant on Art Deco, linen-inspired textures and nature-themed decorations define the Dream slabs — particularly the Woods and Garden accents. These details evoke a sense of modern elegance, with fleeting references to woodlands and gardens, evocative of hand-painted canvases. Their subtle textures lend character to the rooms, providing an artistic, sensory dimension while maintaining the practicality of porcelain stoneware. In the bathrooms, the Dream Garden and Dream Woods accents create spaces that connect deeply with the user, creating a sense of comfort and sophistication.
The refurbishment of Villa Emy was completed with the Res Art wall tiles in the Olive and Pottery tones, where the textural effects of spatula-applied resin bring a warm, richly artistic quality to the porcelain stoneware.

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.
