Retrostoneck to the future
Retrostone, a contemporary take on terrazzo launched in 2018, was recognized by the Plus X Awards judges in its ‘Excellence in Product Design’ category.
A surface with an eye-catching, close-grained effect, Retrostone impressed the Plus X jury with its innovative aesthetic and full body composition.
It also caught the attention of the judges of the prestigious A’ Design Awards as giving a classic material a new lease of life.
A distinctive stone with universal appeal, it showcases the skill of the brand’s research and development team, particularly their ability to capture the exact look of the natural patterns and colors they seek to replicate.
Mar Del PlataRight on the mark
Launched late last year for the 2019 collection, Mar Del Plata won a coveted Red Dot Award. A homage to exotic Brazilian granite, Mar Del Plata succinctly demonstrates the power and precision of Neolith’s pioneering Hydro NDD-2.0 decoration technology.
This technique, which recently won an Edison Award in the USA, uses water-based inks to deliver high levels of design detail and colour definition while simultaneously reducing energy emissions during the manufacturing process.
ENIGMAEasy to understand
Neolith’s work with Pritzker Prize-winning architects RCR Arquitectes on Albert Adria’s ENIGMA restaurant in Barcelona, Spain, has already received a number of accolades globally.
The latest, a prestigious German Design Award, came for the design and decoration of the slabs used for the project’s flooring and cladding. Created from a watercolor painting by famous Spanish architect Pau Llimona, Neolith mapped out the artwork and printed it directly onto the slab surface.
