Solid Ground
Collection of ceramic tiles"Solid" - materials that are strong, massive and durable, timeless, authentic and pure. "Ground" - the basis and foundation on which we build and which creates trust. Literally a safe terrain for architects, planners, project developers and private clients to design contemporary living, office environments, hotels or retail spaces in a high-quality and versatile way with just one tile construction kit. The basic design of the series: travertine - natural and expressive, finds an urban, timeless foundation in the simple yet multi-faceted concrete. Both are convincing as soloists and unfold their innovative power side by side in Solid Ground.
Beyond the aim of creating beautiful individual tiles, the objective of Solid Ground is to perfect the combinatorics in such a way that all elements, as part of overarching design ideas, always produce something unseen. Basic colours and current natural colours as well as a modular format system provide creative freedom. The overarching colour concept is based on a finely graduated grey scale from Italian white to a warm Belgian grey and a cool Nordic grey. Intense colours such as red clay and mud green extend the spectrum in a warm and inviting direction, inspired by natural earth and clay colours.
A total of 12 basic colors - 6 each for concrete look and travertine - form corresponding color pairs: here and on the following pages, the two designs in Red clay and Persian red come together to form a harmonious atmospheric unit. The formats can also be perfectly combined: The 30 x 60 cm basic tile as well as an expressive 5 x 15 cm mosaic and a bar format complement each other to create a balanced overall picture or set accents in the room. Additional generous dimensions of up to 120 x 120 cm convey solidity and elegance as the basic feeling of Solid Ground.
The principle of perfectly conceived combinations also applies to the wall: with a smooth and a relief surface, the matt stoneware tiles in 30 x 60 cm format match perfectly with each other and with the grained travertine look of the floor tiles. With its three-dimensional surface structure, the fine wave profile creates an additional haptic layer without being obtrusive. And, depending on the laying technique, creates playfully subtle images. The wall tiles in 3 light shades – grey green, natural white and Belgian grey – match the colour matrix of the floor tiles.
Holism, urban sophistication and high-quality design characterise Hadi Teherani's architecture. Solid Ground is a collection that is based on architectural standards and covers the entire range of applications in its compactness. The different shades of the finely graduated grey scale interact to create structure and zoning and subtly delineate different areas of use. The 145 cm wide travertine stair tread included in the collection offers further scope for a complex design. To summarise: good design is not only beautiful to look at, but also functional in every respect.
The intelligent combinability of the individual elements in the collection means that something unique is always created from your own imagination. Our "Typicals" on the following pages demonstrate just how versatile and innovative the various designs, colours and formats can be combined and designed. Let yourself be inspired by a whole series of ideas and sample examples for kitchens, corridors, shops and much more. With Solid Ground from Agrob Buchtal, there are no limits to creativity.
