When light intensifies and the world comes alive again through colour, architecture and design discover a new expressive energy in ceramics. This is the perfect moment to be bold, to experiment, and to create. Lea Ceramiche captures this modern vibe with a design vision that celebrates Colour Blocking – not just as a trend, but as a true visual language.

FROM THE RUNWAY TO THE PROJECT: COLOUR BLOCKING AS A CONTEMPORARY LANGUAGE

With deep roots in the world of fashion – from Ondrian to YSL – and having recently made a resurgence in industry magazines and blogs, Colour Blocking is now elbowing its way into interior design as well, as a vibrant counterpoint to the monochrome and neutral palette of these previous years.

More and more often, architects and designers are choosing to use saturated and well-defined blocks of colour to define a space, exalt its volumes, and create a rhythm. This bold, yet surprisingly versatile, aesthetic finds an ideal design tool in Lea Ceramiche’s surfaces, thanks to the perfect fusion of material, colour, and technology.

In keeping with the themes that emerged during the recent 2025 Milano Design Week, where many projects explored colour as a source of well-being, positivity, and the pursuit of happiness, Colour Blocking emerges as a tool for emotional expression – a design statement that, as seen in Lea Ceramiche’s installation, infuses everyday environments with energy, authenticity, and vitality.

PIGMENTI, MASTERPIECE, AND NOBLESSE: COLOUR HAS THREE FACES

Pigmenti and SEGNI su Pigmenti

A manifesto-collection by Ferruccio Laviani and the recipient of an iF Design Award as well as an Archiproducts Design Award, it transforms the concept of colour into pure material. Twelve bold shades – from dusty blues to sage greens, terracotta tones to urban greys – interact with silky, lightweight, and ultra-thin surfaces.

The SEGNI su Pigmenti capsule collection, also by Laviani, introduces a three-dimensional decorative language inspired by 1960s graphics and design applied to Slimtech surfaces. A multi-award-winning project (Archiproducts Design Award, ADI Design Index), it encapsulates Lea’s approach to experimentation with colour, technology, and texture.

Masterpiece

Fruit of the same collaboration, Masterpiece blends cement and natural stone to create a surface that is both industrial and elegant. Its sophisticated tones – ranging from sandy beige to graphite greys and warmer hues – provide the perfect foundation on which to build structured colour compositions, where each block of colour contributes to a harmonious and striking vision.

Noblesse

The latest addition to Lea Ceramiche’s collections, Noblesse celebrates marble, reinterpreting it through twelve striking colour variations. From emerald green to the softly whispered tones of blush pink, the collection demonstrates that even the timeless opulence of marble can make a modern statement, especially when presented in Slimtech’s over-sized, ultra-thin formats, perfect for sophisticated interior design projects in which visual continuity is valued.

SLIMTECH: COLOUR ON A LARGE SCALE

An essential ally in this vision of design is Slimtech technology, which makes it possible to have continuous surfaces, with a format of 120×278 cm and a minimal thickness (3.5 mm, 5.5 mm, 6 mm), characterised by extraordinary durability and flexibility. Ideal for expansive interiors, custom furnishings, or large-scale contracts, Slimtech amplifies the visual of impact of Colour Blocking, delivering a sustainable product that is lightweight and makes a powerful visual statement.

AN IMMERSIVE EXPERIENCE OF COLOUR AND TEXTURE

In a design landscape that is increasingly focused on the identity of a space, Lea Ceramiche offers a concept in which colour is more than a mere decoration, but rather a true tool through which to express an architectural narrative. The Pigmenti, Segni, Masterpiece, and Noblesse collections are more than just surfaces – they are visual alphabets with which to compose new stories made up of light, texture, and harmony.
