The evolution of ceramics accompanies that of contemporary living. A material usually associated with wall and floor coverings, in recent years it has put itself at the service of creativity, design freedom, high performance and respect for the environment. This is thanks to the remarkable innovations in formats and production processes introduced by the best companies.

Marazzi The Top is the collection that best represents this attitude, as it is conceived as a flexible tool at the service of design. Not only because it makes it possible to create, with porcelain stoneware slabs - in large sizes and different thicknesses (6, 12, 20 mm) - kitchen tops, backsplashes, tables, vertical cladding or furnishings, but above all because it opens up new possibilities for combinations and material dialogue, and allows new meanings and rituals to be experimented with, in the home and beyond.

The Marazzi The Top collection expands with two new marble essences (Patagonia and Taj Mahal), five stone effects (Travertino, available in four colours including the unprecedented red, Breccia Imperiale, Berici, Bahia Black and Silver Root, the latter with possible bookmatch laying) and the cement effect of the Cementum collection, now also available in large slabs. The rich textures and surface effects are enhanced by the 3D Ink digital printing technology, which allows the perfect correspondence between graphics and three-dimensional surface structures, different in every single slab.

But what makes The Top collection distinctive - as well as the other products by Marazzi - is the respect for materials and environmental sustainability: the manufacturing processes, in closed-cycle factories, make use of state-of-the-art machinery capable of minimising the use of resources and recovering all waste materials. Characterised by extreme refinement, definition and customisation, the essences of Marazzi The Top are more sustainable and lighter than their natural counterparts. The large-format surfaces can also be used for situations in contact with food from which, thanks to the Puro Marazzi Antibacterial technology incorporated into the production process, up to 99.9% of bacteria and other harmful micro-organisms are eliminated.
