Ceramiche Refin is an Italian tile brand whose goal is to express spaces around the world with Italian design and beautiful sensibility. Founded in 1962, since 1988 it has belonged to the Concorde Group, one of the most important groups in the tile industry.
The ‘Cera’ collection introduced by Refin, a leader in global trends, is a synaesthetic product that awakens new sensibilities and leaves the mark of a timeless dimension. The surface of Cera comes alive to create a multi-sensory narrative born from an emotional connection with organic matter; through diverse interpretations it transforms and evolves, offering infinite possibilities for everyday environments.
The Cera collection is visually ever-changing yet perfectly smooth to the touch, conveying a complete sense of lightness and naturalness. Refin has recreated the plasticity of wax by meticulously rendering deep surfaces on which the small cracks, holes, and marks produced during the casting and curing processes seem to dance lightly over a background of alternating light and dark areas. The overall effect tends toward uniformity, but on closer approach a wealth of detail and nuance is revealed, bringing the character and movement of the material to life.
Three original colors create a complete color spectrum through metaphorical names. ‘Luce–Light’ is a bright white that expresses purity, while ‘Fumo–Smoke’ is a refined gray that adds depth to the grid pattern. ‘Incenso–Incense’ is a warm color with a strong personality. The products are supplied in contemporary formats ideal for emphasizing their aesthetic qualities—60×120 cm and 120×120 cm—and a new 6×24 cm wall tile has also been added, which can be installed like louvers to enrich spaces with a dynamic and distinctive style.
The Scaglie motif is available in 60×120 cm and 120×120 cm sizes and, with Cerasilk and Matt-Pro finishes, is a perfect fit for both flooring and wall coverings. Small wax fragments in the Fumo, Incenso, or Multicolore variants are scattered across a Luce background, delivering new depth and a delicate, rhythmic image. Through relentless experimentation, Ceramiche Refin has developed special finishes for the Cera collection. Cerasilk, with its especially soft and silky feel, conveys the fluidity of wax through touch as well, reinforcing the textural effect. Its matte yet slightly reflective surface delivers an elegant, refined, and sensory result without precedent.
Like an alchemist, Ceramiche Refin has worked the material and transformed its essence into an original creation. Wax—a familiar yet ancient material—has acquired an innovative character through this experimental interpretation. Through an almost magical process, Ceramiche Refin has given rise to a unique and precious product that feels experiential in every respect. Inside the company's laboratory, tile developers and designers collaborate constantly, striving—not as mere experimenters but as innovators—to overcome the limits of ceramic production and to put forward proposals with unprecedented content. The Cera collection began with the exploration of the potential of an element never before studied; it tells the story of Refin's creative capabilities and proves its ongoing commitment to pure research.
Meanwhile, Ceramiche Refin offers a wide range of ceramic solutions for the architecture and interior design fields. The company satisfies even its customers' most complex requirements while guaranteeing all the health and safety factors related to product quality. Every stage of the production process undergoes strict quality control procedures, and the products' outstanding quality and environmental standards are certified by the most authoritative international certifications. www.refin.it/cera
