Pietra Kode reinterprets the timeless beauty of three classic Italian stones: Vicenza, Travertine and Ceppo di Gré. Each of these antique natural stones is decoded and then recoded within three Dekton® concrete series, enhancing their properties and the many possibilities for their use in architecture and design. Each colour breathes contemporary elegance into the design, with the rich shades and textures creating a sensory experience beyond what the eye can see. The carbonneutral Dekton® surface allows the collection to be used for a virtually limitless range of indoor and outdoor applications.

THE TRAVERTINE KODE SERIES recodes the stone out of which Rome was built, into a new technological vision of the material that made classical art shine and inspired Renaissance architecture. Two elegant designs are full of nuances, reminiscent of the quiet majesty of classic style.

THE CEPPO KODE SERIES reinterprets the beauty of the Ceppo di Gré stone, often used in architecture in Milan, to design spaces that inspire and connect with nature. Like Vicenza Kode, Ceppo Kode features design along the edges, making it ideal for revealing applications.
