Cristina Celestino Unveils Ceramic Tiles In Two Geometric Patterns

Award-winning Milanese architect and designer Cristina Celestino, creative director of Fornace Brioni, infuses a handmade aesthetic into factory-made technical ceramic tiles. In the Araldica collection, two geometric patterns—parallelogramlike Ducato and circular Corte—blend white terra-cotta with the brand’s signature variegato clay in rich, earthy tones. Inspired by the intricate 12th-century mosaic work of the Cosmati family, who left their mark throughout Rome, these tiles create tessellations that evoke Euclidean geometry. Not to mention they’re durable and outdoor-ready, even for water exposure. In the Fluviale series, Celestino shifts focus to nature’s brushstrokes and the meeting of land and water. Alveo and Golena explore tonal variations and layered textures, with the former standing out for its dense coloration. Both collections highlight Celestino’s talent for marrying industrial production with artisanal design, creating tiles that add visual depth and sophistication to both indoor and outdoor spaces.

Fornace Brioni’s Latest Tile Collection Nods To Italian Gardens

Factory-made technical ceramic tile is perhaps not the sexiest product. But in the hands of award-winning Milanese architect Cristina Celestino, the material is certainly enticing. The Tivoli Tech collection for storied Italian tile company Fornace Brioni references pathways and hedges in formal Italian gardens, just like the original Tivoli range for indoors (a mega-hit). Here, Celestino employs the same softened geometric forms in a new and innovative through-body-colored technical clay that is freeze-thaw rated, resilient to pool chemicals, and UV- and slip-resistant. The puzzle-piece pattern pairs pill- and movie-ticket-shape modules with slim rectangular ones, available in four colorways ranging from a composition of cool tonal blues to sage spiked with salmon. In the U.S., spec them through Clé’s just-launched source for outdoor tile, OUTERclé.
