COTTO presents fiume del paradiso at milan design week 2012

during milan design week 2012, thai ceramic company COTTO presented ‘fiume de paradiso’ (river of paradise), an installation composed of ‘marmo granito’ showcasing their latest addition ‘paradiso’, a faux marble tile exhibiting a natural and realistic looking grain very similar to the natural stone itself. the overall space was meant to represent the spirit of the river, and express a respect for nature and sustainable living, specifically in relation to the thai lifestyle of the past and present. the ‘marmo granito-paradiso’ collection is created from a clay fused composite which forms masculine granite-like stone, which can be used indoors and outdoors, something which is important in thai culture.
