Mediterranea introduces FORGE, its boldest wood-look porcelain tile series yet
The FORGE series is an innovative fusion of metal and wood, to create a tile design completely new to the American marketplace
DORAL, Fla., Oct. 15, 2018 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Since its introduction of American Naturals in 2011 and the landmark Boardwalk series in 2012, Mediterranea has been a forerunner in the American tile industry when it comes to innovative wood looks. Flash forward several years, and Mediterranea is now blending diverse natural elements to create bold and rustic looks for the U.S. marketplace. The company's tile design craftsmen have now merged metal and wood to create its newest series, FORGE.
Blacksmiths through history have done more than fabricate raw metal; the true artists of the craft use an anvil, hammer and blazing heat to create unique works of value and longevity. From this tradition, Mediterranea has utilized the heat of the kiln to create a porcelain tile that fuses the essential elements of metal and wood — with the result being the all-new FORGE series.
First previewed at Coverings 2018, FORGE is unlike any design offered for the American marketplace. Mediterranea selected a color palette of 5 perfectly-balanced shades to highlight real wood graphics and essential metal elements; Steel, Iron, Copper, Titanium and Lithium.
To bring these extraordinary graphics to life, FORGE is made in the USA in the large-format 24" x 48" size, as well as 12" x 48" and 8" x 48". Mediterranea utilizes the very latest inkjet technology to craft FORGE, using its Dynamic HD Imaging process to apply the finishing touch with a delicate metallic sheen on the surface. All these elements create a one-of-a-kind look that is unmatched in the American marketplace. FORGE offers a dynamic look that is perfectly in line with today's design trends.
For over 30 years, Mediterranea's Italian-based developers and craftsmen have been designing and producing tile in collaboration with the world's top factories in Italy, Spain, Brazil, Turkey, Argentina and the United States. Mediterranea has the unrivaled ability to match unique products with the right manufacturer, surpassing its competition with state-of-the-art technology, competitive pricing and outstanding U.S.-based customer service.
