The ethereal charm of French limestone meets contemporary design in a collection of surfaces built to last
Minimal yet eclectic elegance thrives on the delicacy of details and plays on the interplay between warm and cold nuances. This is the essence of Grace, the new collection by Ceramiche Keope that expresses the timeless charm of Saint Antoine d’Auberoche limestone.
This limestone—with shades ranging from tan to warm beige and grey—has been used since antiquity and was particularly widespread in 19th-century Europe. Today, Grace’s balanced graphics highlight the detail of tactile corpuscles, emphasizing the continuous research and innovation carried out by the company. Available in a wide and versatile range, this porcelain stoneware series is perfect for any indoor or outdoor application across residential, commercial, and public settings.
Macro-sobriety and micro-detail: stone becomes a story
Grace’s limestone appears understated and uniform on a macroscopic scale, but reveals a fascinating richness of detail when observed up close, thanks to contrasting grain sands and tiny fossils embedded in the material.
The color palette consists of sophisticated neutral tones capable of adapting gracefully and effortlessly to any interior design style. In particular, three pairs of colors have been identified, each featuring two chromatic intensities (one light and bright, the other deeper and bolder):
- Earthy greys: Grey and Clay
- Neutral greys: Silver and Iron
- Warm tones: Ivory and Beige
At the center of the palette stands White, a pure white with a clean, essential style. It represents the cooler side of the collection, perfectly harmonizing with all other shades in the range.
Finishes and sizes: visual continuity between indoor and outdoor
The technical versatility of Ceramiche Keope allows Grace to extend its elegance from interior spaces to outdoor landscapes, catering to every design requirement through three specific surface finishes:
Spazzolato R10 (Brushed / Natural effect):
Available from 30×60 cm up to 120×120 cm in all colors. It gives the product an incredibly natural look, featuring a matte finish that is soft to the touch.
Structured R11 (Outdoor safety):
Designed for areas requiring enhanced slip resistance. Available in 60×60 cm and 60×120 cm sizes—both in 9 mm standard thickness and 20 mm extra thickness—across all colors in the range. This outdoor finish stands out for its ease of cleaning and long-lasting technical and aesthetic performance.
Natural R9 (Large slabs):
Dedicated to the 120×278 cm large slab at just 6 mm thickness. This surface offers an even softer matte texture, ideal for creating striking backdrops and continuous walls with significant visual impact.
The Weave decor: the wallpaper effect reinterpreting Art Deco
Grace is enriched by a series of decors designed to lend character to any space, adapting seamlessly to various architectural and interior design concepts.
Standing out among them is Weave: a decor echoing Art Deco textures with intersecting lines that form a woven pattern reminiscent of a geometric fabric. The effect simulates subtle chiseled grooves on the natural stone—sometimes more pronounced, other times lighter—creating a play of tone-on-tone transparencies that pairs the collection’s colors.
A rare balance for contemporary design
The versatility of Grace fits perfectly into contemporary settings, complementing countless design projects. The rare balance of its naturally classy graphics allows it to seamlessly connect spaces, decors, furnishings, and styles with extreme lightness and elegance, transforming porcelain stoneware into a true element of architectural connection.
