NEW YORK, NY--(Marketwired - November 24, 2015) - NYC tile and surfaces showroom STUDIUM will be offering "Ducale" by KREOO (USA), a luxury artisanal tile collection uniting marble in breathtaking new ways, streamlining design and pushing forward architectural innovation. For centuries, Italian artisans have handcrafted marble insets by hand, creating unique pieces of art. Therefore, following tradition, Kreoo fuses Italian tradition with architectural modernity.
The Ducale collection showcases the marriage of these styles as marble inlays transcend beauty set beautifully alongside Brass, Murano Glass, and Gold Leaf. Paying tribute the rich heritage of the Italian masters, the Ducale collection exudes elegance and versatility of design. The playfully simple details of handmade insets create unique patterns that machine-set inlays lack. The Ducale collection features four chief designs -- Etoile, Carrè, Baguette and Pois -- and is specified for flooring, walls or artistic applications.
Kreeo's managing US partner, Anthony Davani, says this of Kreeo's foray into marble's limitless design potential:
"Marble is so versatile. It brings an element of nature into any space and can offset a stark or cold environment by bringing in subtle texture and classic look. By combining marble with other materials like glass and metals like brass we can show an entirely new side of stone and put our personal touch on what nature has created. For our glass inserts we have specifically chosen Murano glass, based on the Venetian island of Murano, which has specialized in glassware for centuries. Like our company, the artisans of Murano are still employing these centuries-old techniques, crafting everything from contemporary to modern designs. With innovative material selection, ancient artistic techniques and modern aesthetics, we can craft a unique design that sets a new standard, and that is what defines Kreoo."
"I first saw Kreoo at the International Contemporary Furniture Fair in New York. As STUDIUM is always on the lookout for designs that will appeal to our sophisticated client base, I was delighted to find it! The designs combining metal with stone and glass and the wall reliefs are a perfect complement to our curated selection of surfaces."
Beginning November 2015, the Ducale collection will be available in the STUDIUM surfaces showroom at A&D Building, New York. The collaboration will bring a taste of traditional Italian craftsmanship to the local designers and homeowners as they gain access to samples of Ducale alongside many other Kreoo marble collections. STUDIUM curators, aiming to intrigue and entice visually, have chosen to sample Kreoo's three-dimensional carved tiles, Rondo and Merletto, to the show room.
As the first showroom to provide New York with access to Kreeo's line of marble tiles, STUDIUM is spearheading a new direction of elite stone and natural surface design stateside.
