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.

Scheiblhofer THE RESORT
Located at Andau (Austria), the modern Scheiblhofer THE RESORT offers its customers exclusive wellbeing experiences, family plans and fine wining and dining focused on regional products.
The resort, designed by famous architect Arkan Zeytinoglu, embodies the concepts and values of sustainable architecture, protection of the natural environment and energy saving. In fact, the design includes the creation of a garden – where the fruit, vegetables and herbs grown are then used in the kitchen – and a “wine trail” to create continuity between the hotel and the environment.
