ABK Poetry Stone Stone-Effect Porcelain Tiles

Poetry Stone, designed with Paola Navone’s OTTO studio, reproduces three alpine stones — Piase, Pirenei and Trani — for a house that flows from kitchen to pool without changing material.

The seven colours

Piase (Mud, Smoke, Ash) is the Dolomite flagstone, layered and grey; Pirenei (Grey, Ecru) a softer limestone; Trani (Ivory, Beige) the warm Puglian stone of farmhouse floors.

Specification

• Material: Full-body porcelain stoneware, made in Italy by ABK (Fiorano, Modena)
• Thicknesses: 6mm (120x280), 8.5mm (120x120, 60x120, 60x60) and 20mm OUT.20
• Finishes: matt Naturale (P.tech R10 C) and R11 anti-slip; OUT.20 in 120x120, 60x120, 60x90 and 80x80
• Application: Internal floors and walls, external terraces, paths and pool surrounds

How to use it

Choose the colour indoors first, then match it outside in R11 or 20mm — the palette is identical. Piase in 120x120 makes a serious, monastic floor; Trani Ivory is the friendliest of the range and takes underfloor heating rooms well.

See it before you buy

Marble-effect porcelain lives or dies on the quality of the graphic, and no thumbnail does a 2.8-metre slab justice. Samples are available to order, and the ABK ranges are on display at our luxury interiors showroom in Newcastle-under-Lyme, Staffordshire, where you can see whole slabs rather than chips.
