Across the Kintsugi concrete ground it draws bright metallic seams — genuinely raised, not printed, so they catch light at an angle and disappear head-on.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eKintsugi is the Japanese practice of repairing broken ceramics with molten gold so the join becomes the most valuable part of the object. Fioranese have taken that idea onto porcelain — a soft, hand-worked concrete ground crossed by raised metallic seams that catch the light. The collection won the ADI Ceramics \u0026amp; Bathroom Design Award and was selected for the ADI Design Index, which for a tile range is unusual.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe faces are supplied assorted: 15 different subjects in the 60.4x120.8 and 24 in the 60.4x60.4.

Order the full quantity in one delivery so the assortment stays complete, and open several boxes at once when setting out. It also works well as a partial field: a Hibi run through a hallway or under an island, with the plain tone either side.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003ePackaging \u0026amp; weights\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSize\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eThickness\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003ePcs\/box\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003em²\/box\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eBoxes\/pallet\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003em²\/pallet\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003ekg\/m²\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003ekg\/pallet\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e60.4x120.8\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1.4600\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e35\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e51.100\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e21.75\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1,111\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e60.4x60.4\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e4\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1.4600\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e32\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e46.720\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e21.75\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1,016\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003cp\u003eDelivery is calculated on these weights.
