O U R VO L C AN I C S U R FA C E S

A primitive material that contains the power of the volcano.

Magma is born at around 1400° temperatures and once in contact with the external environment, it is subject to a sudden cooling that turns it to grey silvery lava.

Materia primitiva che trattiene in sé la forza del vulcano.

Il magma nasce a temperature che si aggirano attorno ai 1400 °C. Il contatto con l’ambiente esterno lo sottopone ad un brusco raffreddamento, trasformandolo nella grigia e argentea lava.

OUR VOLCANIC

TILES

Lava is extracted, polished, and then sent to our decoration artisans, who combine the pureness of the material with colours and artworks.

Lava is then cooked at extremely high temperatures enhancing its resistance.

Estratta e levigata, viene affidata ai nostri artigiani del decoro che combinano purezza del materiale, colore e grafica. Poi nuovamente altissime temperature che ne potenziano le caratteristiche di resistenza.

OUR CONCEPT

Lava is drawn, and colors and motifs impressed on a hard resistant natural material.

The decorative lines have been designed for small and large surfaces, and conceived to create carpet effects and endless repetitions that work well on horizontal planes and vertical areas.

The patterns inspired by geometries and fabrics turn to stone enamel crystal, a tribute to past designs and artworks that filter and combine traditions and new expressions.

A special collection for its material and techniques where the main characteristics are motifs suitable for private environments and the contract world.

In this line, inspirations from graphics, regular shapes and antique embroidery transform into geometries that create, in their entirety, modern compositions.

Repetitions that generate a dynamic whole where lava stone matter shades still play a key role.

Inspired by everyday life or stolen from the traditional cross-tech, the motifs of this collection cover all the surfaces and furnish the home environment like the spaces of the contract.

Partendo dal mondo delle geometrie oppure dall’antica arte del ricamo, questa collezione mette assieme la bellezza della lava naturale e la precisione dell’elemento grafico.

Decoro e colore generano un insieme dinamico di ripetizioni regolari, arredando l’ambiente domestico come gli spazi del contract.

Compas evokes the innovative style of the middle of the last century, conceived by the Italian designer Gio Ponti: motifs that may be classical at times, but still harmonious and slender, circular patterns that break and recompose to create always-changing forms.

La collezione Compass rievoca l’innovativo stile di metà secolo scorso, ideato dal designer italiano Gio Ponti: motivi a tratti classicheggianti ma armoniosi e slanciati, disegni circolari che si rompono e ricompongono, creando modelli in perpetuo cambiamento.

Linee Softened by curves that come together and draw geometrical dynamic and highly decorative motifs to create modern and essential sceneries.

At the same time, these lines evoke a sense of intense movement that is pleasing to the eye.

Linee ammorbidite da curve che si incontrano tra loro, disegnando motivi geometrici dinamici e altamente decorativi, dando vita a scenografie moderne ed essenziali, ma creando al contempo un’impressione di movimento intenso e molto piacevole alla vista.

Tangram Inspired by the Chinese Tangram, a stone puzzle that creates different combinations based on where the color is laid and that generates a dynamism, particularly noticeable on large surfaces.

Ispirata al Tangram Cinese, un puzzle di pietra che crea combinazioni di diverso tipo in base all’orientamento di posa e che crea un dinamismo particolarmente apprezzabile su superfici ampie.

O U R D E C O R AT I O N T E C H N I Q U E S

Since lava stone, once shaped and polished, each surface keeps its natural features, as it is a living material.

The handmade decoration highlights the uniqueness of the product.

The main decoration techniques are two.

Silk print loom and screen.

Una volta sagomato e levigato, ogni formato conserva le sue caratteristiche naturali, trattandosi di un materiale vivo.

La decorazione artigianale sottolinea l’unicità del prodotto.

Due le principali tecniche di decoro: telaio con schermo in seta e mascherina.

THE SILK PRINT LOOM

Pure lava meets color through a silk print covered with holes on which the enamel creating the pattern is poured. The artisan mixes the pigments, adjusts each piece, spreads the colors and balances each shade, before baking the pieces for their final firing.

Telaio con schermo in seta: la lava pura incontra il colore attraverso uno schermo in seta traforato su cui viene rilasciato lo smalto che ne disegna il pattern. L’artigiano miscela i pigmenti, calibra il singolo pezzo, stende i colori e armonizza le sfumature, prima del posizionamento in forno per la cottura finale.

THE SCREEN

The screen technique was born as a white-background tile decoration, but upon request it can be also used to decorate tiles showing the stone texture below. The holes made on a thin film guide the artisan in the stone decoration, performed via brush strokes of color that give the surface additional shades and transparency.

Before applying any techniques, upon clients’ request, the stone bottom can be glazed with white enamel so to combine the resistance of the stone and the beauty of painted ceramic.

La mascherina nasce come tecnica di decoro su fondo bianco ma può essere, su richiesta, utilizzata su formati che lasciano la lava naturale visibile.

Nella mascherina, il traforo su una sottile pellicola guida l’artigiano nel decorare la lava pura con pennellate di colore che conferiscono alla superficie maggiori sfumature e trasparenza.

Su richiesta del cliente entrambe le tecniche di decoro possono essere precedute dalla smaltatura con fondo bianco su pietra per un prodotto che unisce la resistenza della lava e l’estetica della ceramica dipinta a mano.

75

Pure Technique, Finish Glossy perfect harmony between nature and colour.

The Pure Line is a simple combination between polished lava stone and a solid colour.

Its chromatic range consists of bright colours seeping through the silk of the loom to then be impressed, compact and resistant, in the stone.

An ideal mix for those who prefer natural stone for its beauty, but with a hint of vanity la linea Pure è semplice combinazione tra lava levigata e colore solido.

La sua gamma cromatica vuole colori brillanti che attraversano la seta dei telai e si imprimono nella pietra compatti e resistenti.

Un mix ideale per chi la lava la sceglie naturale perché bella, ma con un pizzico di vanità

76

Pure Technique

77

Opaque Technique, Finish Matte Protection and delicate shades.

Softer and more nuanced colors are those of the Opaque Technique where the lava stone is decorated with a thin layer of satin enamel. This seeps through the looms and is impressed on the surface, which is protected by a light coating of opaque crystal.

The visual effect is lighter and more shaded thanks to plays of shadows and highlights running all along the decoration. Mainly recommended for floor coatings and humid environments Protezione e sfumature delicate.

Colori più soft e sfumati sono quelli della tecnica Opaque dove la lava viene decorata da un velo di smalto satinato che passa attraverso i telai e si imprime sulla superficie protetta, poi, da un leggero strato di cristallo opaco.

L’effetto visivo richiama leggerezza, giochi di ombre e punti luce corrono lungo tutto il decoro.

Consigliata specialmente per rivestimenti a pavimento e per ambienti più umidi

78

Opaque Technique

79

Lumen Technique, Finish Mirrored Lumen is the way we protect our pure lava by adding some transparent crystal on the whole surface to give it a mirror effect. The colours become lively and bright, and the natural stone waterproof. The mirror effect makes it ideal for vertical cladding Lumen è il modo in cui proteggiamo la nostra lava pura, aggiungendo del cristallo trasparente su tutta la superficie, dandole un effetto a specchio.

I colori diventano vivaci e pieni di luce, mentre la pietra naturale impermeabile. Il risultato vitreo ne rende l’uso indicato per i rivestimenti verticali

G E N E R AL WAR N I N G S

BUYING A LAVA STONE PRODUCT, you should be aware that the product may, on occasions, include: pinhole cavities, darker spots, green spots, mineral spots. Another peculiarity of the lava product is the possible slight variation in the size, in the range of +/- 1.5 mm, due to the dilatation during the firing. The enameling process itself may cause a variation in the thickness of the piece, in the range of +/- 0.5 mm.

An other feature which may occur on lava stone surfaces is the variations in shade.

All the natural products vary in shade and in the structure of the piece. As a matter of fact, the variation in shade is an inherent part of the glazing process, where it may occur due to the accumulation of enamel along the piece end edges, and more generally as a result of the craft enamelling. The shade variation can be an added value of crystalline colors, while matte enamels are not affected by this feature. Shade variation is unpredictable; its occurrence makes each piece unique and unrepeatable. The feature is part of the beauty of the lava product. However, custom colors or desired thickness can be agreed upon request at the time of order to secure the desired outcome.

WAR N I N G S F O R T I L E S I N S TAL L AT I O N

COLOR SHADING ON LAVA STONE TILES The moderate chromatic variation and the veining of the product is an intrinsic feature which represents the randomness and richness of the colour shading of natural stones. For these reasons, we recommend installing the product choosing tiles from different boxes in order to guarantee a variable and natural random effect of the finished surface. Due to these intrinsic features of the product, the colours represented in this catalogue must only be considered an example of the many possible colour shades.

In the event of an order cancellation, RANIERI PIETRA LAVICA may request a refund of costs.

4) DELIVERY OF GOODS In the absence of a written agreement, the goods are sold ex-works. Shipping, which may be organised by RANIERI PIETRA LAVICA either on request or on behalf of the client, is always at the expense and risk of the client.

The delivery times indicated on the order confirmation are purely indicative and are in no way binding.

Orders that contain more than one product may be shipped separately.

A request for a single delivery may give rise to longer delivery times.

RANIERI PIETRA LAVICA does not accept any liability for late delivery of goods. In any case RANIERI PIETRA LAVICA shall not be liable for errors and/or late deliveries due to shipment or customs clearance of the goods or, in any case, to events not directly attributable to RANIERI PIETRA LAVICA. A request to delay the delivery of goods, once they have been prepared, shall not entitle the client to defer payment thereof with respect to the terms of the order confirmation.

RANIERI PIETRA LAVICA also reserves the right to transfer the prepared products to an external warehouse at the risk and expense of the client.

5) PRODUCTS RANIERI PIETRA LAVICA reserves the right to make technical and aesthetic improvements to its products, including changes to their size and finishes, without prior notice.

The images and drawings shown in the price list and catalogues do not define the characteristics of the products.

The measurements stated are approximate and may vary.

SPECIAL PRODUCTS: the client should contact RANIERI PIETRA LAVICA’s “Customer Service” department when

requesting special products (such as custom designs and sizes, or customized finishes). The client accepts that a higher price, or a price set by RANIERI PIETRA LAVICA, will be applied to special products.

6) WARRANTY Warranty terms shall apply only to differences between what is stated in the specification sheet and the product received.

7) TOLERANCES The colours in sample books and catalogues and on specification sheets are approximate. By confirming the order the client accepts any colour tolerances.

We cannot guarantee that colour shades will be exactly the same in the case of completion and/or combination of different products or subsequent completions to different shipments.

8) COMPLAINTS The client must check the goods immediately after taking delivery of them and in any case before they are used, positioned or modified.

In the event of visible defects, the client must note them on the delivery consignment form and report them in writing by email, fax or registered letter within 48 hours of delivery of the goods, or within 7 days of delivery in the case of hidden defects.

If the defect is covered by warranty, and RANIERI PIETRA LAVICA is obliged to take responsibility thereof on the basis of the descriptions on the product specification sheet, RANIERI PIETRA LAVICA will decide at its discretion whether to repair or replace the product, in whole or in part.

No compensation shall be due for indirect expenses or damage.

9) RETURNS RANIERI PIETRA LAVICA will not accept returned goods unless expressly authorized in writing, properly packed by the client and shipped free of all costs to the warehouse of our head office. In the event of further damage to the goods due to insufficient protection thereof, RANIERI PIETRA LAVICA reserves the right to charge the client the cost of the damage incurred.

10) PRICES – PACKING Delivery is always at the prices indicated on the RANIERI PIETRA LAVICA price lists and according to the conditions in force at the time of the order confirmation.

Packing of goods is at the discretion of RANIERI PIETRA LAVICA and will be charged to the client. Any requests for customised packing will be agreed in writing by the parties.

11) PAYMENT Payment methods and terms are specified in the order confirmation. The acceptance of negotiable instruments

by RANIERI PIETRA LAVICA is always “subject to actual payment”, without novation of the underlying contract and without modification of the district of jurisdiction.

Failure to observe the payment terms will entail the application of default interest at the current applicable rate in Italy.

12) PROTECTION OF RIGHTS RANIERI PIETRA LAVICA reserves the right to suspend the supply of goods when the client’s credit quality is such as to clearly jeopardize completion of payment.

In the case of deferred payments, failure to strictly comply with the agreed deadlines authorizes RANIERI PIETRA LAVICA to demand immediate payment of the entire outstanding amount.
