TAU stands for the forefront and innovation in design. The company, for Cersaie 2009, has reserved a significant space at its stand for Corten Energy and Corten Night, the new generation of models of the Corten series, one of the most acknowledged proposals worldwide and that which best identifies the work of the brand.Corten Energy and Corten Night are two dynamic, forceful proposals for porcelain stoneware, which maintain the spirit of the Corten series, from the TAU Metálica collection, which takes on a new aesthetic form thanks to its inspiration by metals in their purest state. Unsurprisingly, as the Corten series is considered one of the most avant garde architectural and interior solutions which has generated the greatest repercussion since it was launched, thanks to its innovative aesthetic concept and exclusiveness, within the uppermost segment of the market worldwide.Corten Energy and Corten Night have been developed using new manufacturing techniques which can polish the material to lend it a special personality, with a fire-like appearance, while creating a highly particular iridescent effect which is one of its hallmarks. Both models are available in 45x45, 45x90, 60x60 and 30x60 formats, and in two finishes: natural and polished.Corten Night adheres to the canons of the TAU ecotile range, i.e. over 45% of the tiles’ composition uses recycled materials as part of the company’s commitment to conserve and respect the environment, one of the company’s major pledges.
The catalogue of new items which TAU is to present at Cersaie 2009 also includes such interesting products as Mythos, a porcelain stoneware which imitates the purity of classic pentelic marble, in order to capture and materialise the essence of nature in ceramics. Refined, elegant, pure, reserved but always beautiful, Mythos is available in two versions, polished and natural, which lend it an incredible resemblance to the model on which it is inspired.TAU has designed Corten Energy and Mythos in the TAUfine version, the new ultrafine and light porcelain which reduces the thickness by over 50% compared to the traditional models, bringing it down to 5 mm.TAUfine is a commitment to ecology, cost saving in materials and at the forefront of construction, in line with the R&D&I.TAU, coinciding with Cersaie, is also launching a new format, the 20x60, a new proposal to meet one of the new demands in the marketplace, always seeking out larger formats.
