Kasia Zareba: Fossil
DesignTaleStudio, founded in 1995 by Ceramiche Refin as a creative research laboratory, launched an international design contest last February open to professionals from around the world: “Create your Tile”.

The contest called for innovative ceramic ideas for residential and/or commercial flooring, expressing elements of originality, commercial potential and industrial reproducibility, and enhancing the most recent production technologies to define the best in contemporary interior trends.

Among the 800 ideas from 78 different countries, the first prize was awarded to the young Polish designer Kasia Zareba and her project entitled Fossil, presented to the public during Cersaie.

The Fossil collection is a translation of the prehistoric imprints of plants and animals on rock formations. Traces of the pattern break and overlap just like the signs of time in prehistoric sites and archaeological excavations. The pattern gives the collection a special uniqueness, with a great, natural impact.

Subtle motifs bring to mind the regularity of forms found in the natural world, which we can all interpret differently according to our own imagination.

Running in different directions, the 5 hand-drawn graphics create curious optical illusions and solid-void effects: the interwoven effects of the forms resemble natural stone, creating a modern interpretation of marble, that symbol of tradition, sophistication and exclusive materials.

The winning collection comes in size 60x60cm and three colours – beige, grey and brown – with 5 different graphic patterns for random laying.
