Gardenia Orchidea

COMPANY Since 1961, the Ceramiche Gardenia Orchidea Group has been developing its own concept of living, a winning choice that has made the company a byword for Italian style, excellence and quality in the 100 countries where it operates. A technology and quality cutting-edge Gardenia Orchid has also made itself a player in the growing demand for high-quality materials for contemporary living patenting, in a world exclusive for the ceramic industry, a process that allows thousands of Swarovski crystals to be inserted directly into the ceramic slab. Each tile (20x50 cm) contains up to 10,800 original polyhedron Swarovski crystals. With the same philosophy, it has also successfully experimented with PVD applications (Physical Vapor Deposition, from aerospace technology) which is based on the physical principal of the vacuum evaporation of metals (titanium, gold, platinum as well as other metals) which are allowed to condensate when they reach an ionic state forming a film which is deposited on the object being treated giving it a new highly resistant finish. Gardenia Orchidea also owns the patent and trademark CrystalKer, a new 3mm ceramic tile for floors and walls, obtained by a pressing of extra fine porcelain, dedicated to high-end residential spaces. An unique stile In addition to the Gardenia Orchidea trademark whose ceramic collections explore different styles of home design, the group has had an exclusive worldwide sales agreement with Versace Home since 1997 so is able to produce unique ceramic lines and bathroom furnishings; this project, based on a perfect affinity with the famous fashion house, has allowed the company to capitalize on all the expertise and traditions it has in the world of ceramics and interior design details thus consolidating its presence in the high end market.

A leading company that expresses the spirit of today and hints at the style of tomorrow Gardenia ceramics are the result of in-depth research into materials, finishes, and decorations; the company’s technical staff and product managers work side-by-side with architects and designers. The home is the true focus of Gardenia’s R&D work, creating products that are always designed for a very specific kind of living space. These ceramics embody new tastes and new concepts of space, following the path of architecture. The use of highly textured natural materials like wood and marble, and the redefinition of space through the uniformity and continuity of glass and metal surfaces are trends that Gardenia has captured and translated into new ceramics.
