26 Mar 2026 CW Team

Inspired by heritage techniques such as Pietra Dura, the collection reimagines traditional inlay artistry using advanced manufacturing processes. The tiles integrate materials like marble, metal and engineered stone to create intricate patterns that are both aesthetically striking and structurally strong. Developed in a 600 x 1200 mm format, the range features a premium Calacatta Michael finish, drawing from the elegance of Statuario marble to deliver bold geometric designs that elevate surfaces into focal design elements.

Designed for versatility, the collection caters to both residential and commercial applications. In homes, the tiles can be used across living spaces, pooja rooms, bathrooms and kitchens to create personalised, high-end interiors. In commercial environments, they enhance hospitality settings, retail spaces and corporate offices, while also being suitable for high-traffic areas such as airports, galleries and cultural centres due to their durability.

Rahul Bhugra, Director, Antica Ceramica, said the launch reflects the company’s focus on pushing design boundaries while delivering practical solutions for architects and designers. He highlighted that the tiles are engineered with UV-resistant and slip-resistant properties, ensuring long-term performance and ease of maintenance across diverse applications.

A key feature of the collection is its design flexibility, allowing customisation of patterns and material combinations. This enables designers to create anything from subtle accents to bold visual statements, supporting more immersive and expressive spatial concepts.

With increasing emphasis on personalised and experiential design, the Inlay Tile Collection positions itself as a bridge between art and architecture, offering a refined approach to modern surface solutions.
