Design Details
- Unique Properties
- Delmar reflects the elegance of nature with organic forms and colors with its design inspired by coral formations on the seabed. Its vibrant patterns bring the tranquility of nature to the space, while offering the psychologically relaxing effects of nature. Not limited to a specific area or use, Delmar elevates the ambience with its uplifting aesthetics in poolsides, spa centers or any space seeking a touch of the sea.
- Inspiration
- Inspired by the coral formations of Maragogi, Brazilian Coral reflects the ecological beauty of nature in an elegant marble-like form, carefully shaping the natural harmony of organic forms in color and design aesthetics. Like the tranquillity that vegetation, water texture and natural light bring to serene spaces, this design captures a sense of relaxation and renewal. Its unique patterns seamlessly intertwine, creating a natural and endless composition.
- Research
- With the growing appreciation for nature in recent years, biophilic themes have become increasingly popular in interior design. The incorporation of natural elements into indoor spaces has been proven to positively impact human well-being and mental health. As a result, detailed studies were conducted to prepare for designing a biophilic-themed project. First, inspiration was drawn from nature, and research was conducted on the positive effects of natural materials and organic forms on human psychology. The impact of elements such as vegetation, water features, and natural light in creating a sense of tranquility and harmony within spaces was observed.
- Challenge
- During the development of the project, one challenge was balancing the intricate oceanic theme of Delmar with practical considerations such as durability and suitability for various environments. This obstacle was addressed through extensive research into materials that could withstand moisture and high-traffic areas while maintaining the desired aesthetic. Additionally, incorporating biophilic design principles required seamlessly integrating natural elements into the design without compromising functionality.
- Realization and Technology
- Made from premium porcelain materials, Delmar guarantees long-lasting durability. Its sturdy construction stands up to the test of time, preserving its flawless appearance even in high-traffic areas or environments exposed to moisture.
- Operation and Interaction
- Delmar porcelain tile can be easily installed using standard porcelain tile installation techniques. It is recommended to be installed by a professional.
- Project Duration and Location
- The project began in July 2022 at Ng Kutahya, and we are still in production.
- Specifications
- Delmar porcelain tile is crafted from high-quality porcelain, measuring 120 x 240 cm with a thickness of 10 mm. Its glossy finish offers a modern and sophisticated look, while its high breaking strength and abrasion resistance ensure long-term durability. With a low water absorption rate, it is especially ideal for moist environments like bathrooms.
