January 13, 2026

From the beauty and sustainable qualities of natural soapstone and marble to durable porcelain tile collections featuring soft textures and subtle floral patterns, as well as those drawing design inspiration from natural materials, there are a host of stone, tile, and quartz products available to meet a host of styles. Here is a sampling of a few. 

The Studio Corduroy Collection

Unlike standard lines, the Studio Corduroy Collection from Arto Brick and Tile is crafted to meet specific project needs with an exceptional range of options, including a custom color palette available in a complete library of 46 colors, unique texture and movement which is distinctive to a “corduroy” texture that changes direction based on size and is offered in a range of formats (all ½-inch thickness): 2 x 8, 4 x 4 and 4 x8 inches (textured movement runs along the short edge). A selection of finish options includes unglazed, glazed and with overglaze (necessary for pool applications).

Imagina by Casalgrande Padana

The floral designs by Casalgrande Padana are part of the new Imagina collection from Casalgrande Padana. Available in large formats of 120 x 278cm and 60 x120cm sizes and featuring patterns inspired by the art of botany, floral porcelain tiles open up a wide range of creative options, turning walls into a dynamic narrative in which every tile is an authentic work of art. Featuring stylized or more realistic leaves, branches, trees and flowers and gracing everything from fabrics to wall coverings, plant-inspired patterns, enveloping earthy shades and the natural warmth of porcelain stoneware form a key decorative concept for home interiors, from the living room to the kitchen, as well as bedrooms, bathrooms and outdoor areas.

The Imagina collection is available in four different variants: Florilege, Landscape Grid, Windflowers and Rose Bush -- each consisting of two slabs that, when placed side by side, create a single decorative composition.

The Lucent Collection by Del Conca USA

The Lucent Collection from Del Conca USA transforms the ethereal look of backlit onyx into a durable porcelain surface. Each tile reflects a sense of depth and radiance, available in three modern colorways -- white, green and blue -- designed to bring a luxurious glow to any space.

From statement walls to sophisticated floors, Lucent offers the elegance of natural stone with the strength and versatility of porcelain -- perfect for both residential and commercial interiors that call for brilliance.

Palette by Flaviker

From the painter’s canvas to design, colors are the essence of ideas. In interior design projects, the choice of harmonious colors determines the atmosphere and personality of each room. The Palette collection from Flaviker focuses on color and comes in a wide range of sizes, including large slabs. The collection comes in 10 monochromatic surfaces inspired by hand-applied resins with a soft, satin finish and a lightly textured substrate reminiscent of plaster. This color palette is capable of interacting with the entire catalog of Flaviker surfaces to create endless combinations that fit in with the latest design trends. Many different compositional solutions for floors and walls are available thanks to the choice of modular, cut-to-size formats, the potential for juxtaposition with different colors and interactions with wood, stone or marble effects. With the Palette collection, installation patterns can also provide decorative inspiration and stylish details.

Arkèon by Infinity Surfaces

Arkèon by Infinity Surfaces expresses an essential and rigorous vision, where pure forms pair with precise design. Surfaces in perfect balance between technicality and elegance, calibrated finishes and solutions that redefine the perception of matter. Arkèon does not follow trends, but forges its own path, where every element is conceived to last beyond fashion and time.

Curation by Marazzi

Curation is a fresh tile collection that merges brick and terrazzo. This Made In The USA assortment from Marazzi pairs a personality-driven terrazzo style with a variety of sizes, finishes and value-added features. 

The large-format sizes within Curation ensure that the multicolored aggregate details of the terrazzo-look tiles are beautifully showcased, while meeting the modern design preference for expansive tile formats. The matte and polished ColorBody porcelain terrazzo-look tiles are available in 24 x 48, 24 x 24 and 12 x 24 inches, complemented by a glazed porcelain 2¼ x 9½ Midcentury-modern brick-look glazed porcelain.  

The Curation mosaic tiles feature the terrazzo style and are offered in both a matte 2- x 2-inch tile and a polished 3-inch hexagon design. Coordinating trim pieces in both matte and polished finishes complete the look of any Curation installation.

Stormy Black Soapstone Available from M. Teixeira Soapstone

Stormy Black soapstone is quarried in Minas Gerais, Brazil, and available from M. Teixeira Soapstone. The non-porous material features a dynamic coefficient of friction of 0.61(dry), 0.55(wet), water absorption of 0.04% and is resistant to most common staining agents; easily cleaned. Some strong dyes and inks may require solvent cleaning. Tested per ASTM C1378-20.

Next Generation of Engineered Stone

Q+ is the next generation of MSI engineered stone with High Definition Inkjet print technology that brings remarkable clarity, depth and natural variation to every slab. This advanced process creates a true-to-nature appearance with enhanced color, detail and movement while delivering a worry-free performance. The newest Q+ introductions highlight this innovation with elevated veining and refined finishes that redefine what engineered stone can achieve.

Pentelikon Marble from Stonetech

Pentelikon marble, available from Stonetech, is extracted from the historic Dionysos quarry on Mount Penteli in Greece -- the same origin as the stones that once shaped classical Athens. The stone comes naturally in two elegant color variations, both equally admired for their timeless character:

  • Pentelikon Grey -- Soft, silvery tones with linear horizontal veins that convey calm balance and architectural precision.
  • Pentelikon Green -- Gentle olive-green undertones with fine flowing veins reminiscent of Attica’s natural landscape -- a modern interpretation of classical harmony.

Both variations share the same geological identity -- a high-density, low-porosity calcitic marble known for its ability to capture and reflect light. This unique luminosity gives Pentelikon its signature “living surface,” shifting subtly with the surrounding daylight.

Cayo by Tile Club

Cayo is an Italian-made ceramic tile collection, available from Tile Club, that infuses interiors with personality and understated elegance. With a modern elongated subway-style shape (3.94 x 11.81 inches), each tile features a detailed triangular pattern set with a crackled glaze to add texture, depth and artistic flair. Available in four shades – Green (pictured), Sand, Sky and White -- Cayo is versatile in design and function. Subtle light reflection from the crackled finish introduces gentle movement, making the tiles ideal for backsplashes, shower accents or feature walls. Designed specifically for indoor wall applications, the collection pairs durable ceramic with Italian craftsmanship for enduring quality and timeless appeal.

Micare by WOW

WOW presents Micare, an author-driven collection that revisits glazed ceramics through the

honesty of raw material. Inspired by the glassy wall tiles that shaped the interiors of the ’60s

and ’70s, Micare draws from the material memory of that era to craft a unique materiality

rooted in origin and authenticity. The collection works with the essential elements of the ceramic language -- gloss, relief, modular repetition and chromatic depth -- translating them into a contemporary context through a focus on matter, volume and light. Its palette spans earthy, warm and rich tones, grouped into ranges that move from sandy neutrals to mineral greens and blues, with more spiced accents. The collection uses a richly textured vitreous glaze that incorporates mica -- tiny metallic particles that add a subtle mineral shimmer. It is not a decorative effect but a luminous microstructure that activates each piece and produces quiet optical depth. The 5- × 15-cm format -- an essential element of WOW’s identity -- enables modular design and the construction of ceramic envelopes with their own rhythm. Repetition, alternating intensities and the introduction of reliefs transform each surface into a graphic plane that evolves with the light.
