The collection translates the observation of microorganisms and natural systems into a tactile design language spanning architectural surfaces and decorative objects. Microbia is born from a single biomorphic tile, conceived as a small organism in constant transformation.
The collection is structured into four categories: Clay Mosaic, Clay Floor Tiles, Clay 3D Coverings, and Accessories, conceived as elements of a single compositional ecosystem. Through repetition and juxtaposition, the module generates ever-changing configurations, evoking the processes of growth and aggregation found in the natural world.
The color palette reflects a balance between tradition and innovation. Wall coverings and floor tiles are available in the five historic terracotta shades of Fornace Brioni, while the mosaic expands the language with more graphic and contemporary colors. The result is a versatile system that preserves the identity of the kiln while projecting it toward a more essential and contemporary expression.
