22 Dec 2025 CW Team

Antica Ceramica has announced the launch of a new Kota-inspired wall and floor tile collection, reimagining one of India’s most enduring architectural materials for contemporary interiors and construction needs.

Drawing inspiration from Kota stone—traditionally quarried in Rajasthan and widely used across Indian homes, temples and institutional buildings—the collection reflects the material’s legacy of durability, climatic comfort and understated elegance. Antica Ceramica said the new range preserves the visual soul of Kota stone while overcoming the limitations of natural stone through advanced ceramic engineering.

The tiles are offered in a 600 x 1200 mm large-format size with a thickness of 10 mm, enabling visual continuity with minimal grout lines. Designed for both walls and floors, the format supports seamless layouts and cohesive spatial narratives across residential and commercial interiors.

Engineered for performance, the collection features stain resistance, high durability and a non-slip surface texture suited to high-traffic and moisture-prone areas such as kitchens, bathrooms, corridors, lobbies and hospitality spaces. Consistent colour, uniform texture and dimensional stability ensure long-term reliability and ease of maintenance.

Speaking on the launch, Rahul Bhugra, Director, Antica Ceramica, said, “Kota stone is deeply embedded in India’s architectural and cultural identity. It represents resilience, simplicity, and timeless beauty. With this collection, our intention was to honour that legacy while adapting it to the realities of modern construction and contemporary lifestyles.”

With this launch, Antica Ceramica said it continues to focus on surfaces that combine cultural relevance with modern design sensibilities and technical performance, offering architects, designers and homeowners a versatile alternative inspired by a classic Indian material.
