Our Quintessenza

Our name, Quintessenza Ceramiche, encapsulates and cherishes the antique mystery of a pure and subtle essence, the quintessence: that continuous and vibrant quest to reach the highest degree of style and quality we believe is the ultimate level of ceramic expression. According to Aristotle and ancient astronomy, the fifth element after fire, water, earth and air was ether.

Quintessenza Ceramiche offers a vast range of small format ceramic products. Surfaces that are the result of careful design, developed through a combination of minimalism and decoration, traditional and contemporary design, creative flair and geometrical precision.
The design concept for each collection is born in Italy, in the Sassuolo ceramics district and its deeply rooted tile culture. Each project is perfected down to the tiniest detail, as it is through details that we express our curious and receptive sensitivity. Our constant creative research is influenced by formal and material alchemies that never tire of exciting us. Combining shapes and colours, textures and surfaces, materials and patterns is what we do every day. We use ceramics to stimulate emotions.

Small format as
expressive language

We have chosen the small format as our distinctive element as it allows us to reference past styles in a contemporary mood. “We are attracted by their proportions, by the balance of their parts, by the harmonious ratio of their measurements and the way in which they interpret space.” Small format products are versatile and easy to lay, and their aesthetic value is combined with detailed design research to enhance their functionality.
Quintessenza ceramics offer creative ideas for architects and designers who wish to experiment with an infinite range of colour combinations, and endless mixtures of form, too, thanks to the matching formats of these collections. Quintessenza also recommends a selection of coordinated grouts to enhance the essence of the colour and contrasting grouts, used as a decorative element.

TRAVELLING FAR AND BACK

We adore ideas that promise to carry us far away. Lively, imaginative ideas that can generate others and create a chain reaction. This is why we design ceramics that can evolve, cross borders and travel far.
All our collections are a combination of internal references and transversal constants: a colour that binds the collections together, a size that distinguishes them or the sensation of one surface that recalls another.
We pursue ideas that travel far and then return with even more character than when they left.
