Uniqueness sometimes emerges from chance encounters, from the interplay of technologies and materials, and from the passage of time. DOWNTOWN is the new collection from ABK inspired by a wide variety of materials, a new and original surface that reflects the history of urban pedestrian areas.


They are fragments that embed themselves indelibly in the memory: stones, pebbles, pavements trodden a thousand times to become a unique, indivisible material whose colour variations express a sense of belonging. The five colours of DOWNTOWN (Ivory, Ecru, Earth, Ash, Graphite) allow for experimentation with a modern past, becoming a sophisticated ingredient for installations with an utterly contemporary flavour.


DOWNTOWN porcelain tile comes in 6 modular sizes (80x80 cm, 40x80 cm, 20x80 cm, 60x60 cm, 30x60 cm and 30x30 cm mosaic) with natural or rectified edges, and in matt or lapped finishes for the utmost simplicity of use and installation. For users in search of original and exclusive solutions, ABK offers Random, an entirely decorated floor tile for seamless installation available in colours Ivory and Ecru and sizes 60x60 cm and 30x60 cm. With its new textured surface, the Walk tile is ideal for use in exteriors and is available in a 30x60 cm size and colours Ivory, Earth and Ash.
