La Fornace
Il Casale
Every floor has a story to tell - the story of each person that has ever walked on it, and the life that they have lived. Terracotta has a story in itself, tracing back years and centuries, a craft that has been part of Italian tradition to become a signature product in the international industry.
From the traditional square shape to more interesting and complex ones, floor tiles are available in an array of different formats, finishes and colors, to fit perfectly with the different taste. Suited for both indoor and outdoor use, the handmade terracotta floor is the perfect choice for a traditional warm vibe when used inside, and is elegant when used outside, for garden, patios and pools.
We have selected different types of natural clays, from specific regions of Italy, each of them presenting variety in color and shade so that each piece of tile will have its unique character:
- Umbria: From the region in the heart of Italy that gives its name, this clay is made of light beige and neutral tones with a slight pink hue underneath. A more muted choice to pair with both neutral and vibrant colors.
- Toscana: With a color as strong as the personality of the residents of Tuscany, this red clay is one of the more traditional kinds. Perfect for outdoor patios and indoor rooms that need a warm and bold look.
- Mixed: As the name suggest, this clay is a combination of Umbria and Toscana clays, creating a salmon pink shade that is beautiful to see and can be used in different kind of environments.
By adding pigments to the clay, we can achieve not only the stunning natural shades, but also offer colors that are easily adaptable to any room: white, charcoal and dove-grey.
To make our floor tiles even more special, we have selected a series of special finishes that will give a unique look to any floor, depending on what the final room or outdoor environment should look like at the end.
Special Pieces
Customization has always been our strongest point. The terracotta, when made by hand, has the great advantage of being able to be modeled according to specific requests.
In addition to the standard formats, we evaluate the creation of special pieces, particularly to carry out restorations of ancient buildings, studying the materials and finishes that still exist to this day so as to maintain the original look and feeling of it.
The realization of the special pieces will be studied in collaboration with the customer and evaluated in every detail together with our artisans to guarantee the best possible result.

Decor
The tradition of terracotta flooring in the Italian countryside has always had some elements of decoration to it. These decorations were usually hand-glazed by the artisans of terracotta, and often displayed references to either nature or objects used during their daily life in the fields, with the occasional geometric figure in between.
So, we took inspiration and recreated those decors in the same old way, hand glazing each piece with our designs, to make our floors look even more vintage and traditional. Starting now with leaves painted on hexagons, the selection will soon grow and be followed by other shapes and designs, to convey the final emotion of the flooring in an even more grandiose way.
