This Vintage 50 concept focuses on minimalism, stylish shapes, glossy materials, and shining surfaces. In tiles RAK Ceramics will present more than 30 new collections for porcelain tiles, full body porcelain tiles and ceramics, featuring lavish textures and mirroring surfaces, taking inspiration from luxurious materials such as velvet mixed with metals such as brass, or lacquered wood and briar root wood surfaces. Walls will be covered with rich dark colours, contrasted with pastel coloured home appliances.
