Arkèon porcelain stoneware surfaces by Infinity: an in-depth exploration of the material

Infinity, a company specialized in the production of large porcelain stoneware slabs for architecture and interior design, presented Arkèon at Salone del Mobile.Milano, a research laboratory dedicated to the material, a space for experimentation where aesthetics and technological ingenuity translate into an essential, measured and recognizable language.

Born from the collaboration between Infinity and Giuseppe Bavuso, the Arkèon collection is the expression of a design method based on balance, compositional rigor and the ability to transform the surface into a true architectural element.

Arkèon Surfaces: a single project, multiple expressions 

The large-format porcelain stoneware surfaces Arkèon do not seek a decorative effect, but redefine the perception of the material through calibrated areas, measured reliefs and a constant attention to detail.

Designed for the world of architecture and interior design, the collection of surfaces Arkèon is organized into four different families, Fragmentis, Fossil, Sandstone and Plaster, each characterized by its own material intensity, by different textures and depths, but always conceived as variations of a single design idea.

Balance between memory and innovation 

Fragmentis arises from a reflection on the material as an archive of time. The surface preserves its link to origin, but is reread with design sensibility, in a balance between memory and innovation. Two the surfaces proposed: Fragmentis Burn, characterized by a more intense and deep tactility, and Fragmentis Row which introduces a more rigorous rhythm.

Sandstone rereads the essence of rock through a surface that is compact, homogeneous and luminous; the result is an material that is elegant, capable of expressing solidity and lightness at the same time. Also in this case there are two versions: Dune, a warm tone that strengthens the chromatic harmony and Groove which introduces a subtle and sophisticated relief. 

Plaster refers to the Arts and Crafts tradition, giving the surface an authentic, material, deeply expressive character. Plaster Cut expresses the more decisive component of the collection, through a clear mark that recalls the craftsman's intervention. Plaster Drape instead introduces a softer, more enveloping texture.

Fossil, finally, interprets the material through a subtle balance between strength and refinement in three different interpretations: Fossil favors a pure and balanced presence, which places the quality of the material at the center; Fossil Row presents thin irregular incisions, while Fossil Tartan shows a more decorative dimension, built on an interweaving of marks.
