Italian ceramic tiles authority Florim has relaunched historic brand CEDIT, unveiling a collection that marks a new chapter in the company’s history

今年早些时候，意大利瓷砖管理局Florim重新推出了历史品牌cedit-ceramiche d‘itia，揭开了该公司历史上一个新的篇章。

为此，一群意大利设计师探索了塞迪特的陶瓷能力，为平面表面提供了大量创造性的解决方案，从浮雕混凝土到闪光处理。每一个新的收藏都是在米兰的斯帕齐奥塞迪特的一个类似透视图的建筑上展示的。试验表面的前六间工作室是BRH(Barbara Brondi和Marco Rain iro)、Archea Associati的Marco Casamonti、Giorgio Griffa、Franco Guerzoni、Matteo Nunziati和Wall纸张*手工撰稿人Giorgia Zanellato和Daniele Bortoto，他们对瓷砖、测试材料和处理提出了新的观点。

这些新的收藏品包括Casamonti的闪光和金属瓷砖，他干预了金属的钝化过程，以创造喜怒无常的表面。该系列由BRH创建，探索水泥的结构，不同的迭代排列成模块组成，使用明亮的阴影进行灌浆。摘要画家格里法用他的签名笔画在表面，利用板子作为大画布，创造一系列的绘画。格尔佐尼，另一位当代艺术家，致力于表面的纹理和着色，创造了一个覆盖定义的诗意破碎的效果。建筑师Nunziati提供了一个更实用的表面解决方案，灵感来自层层异国情调的织物和装饰，而Zanellato和Bortoto在他们的设计中引用了磨损的抹灰墙。

品牌的重新推出和这些系列展示了CEDIT的多种可能性，也证明了它在设计上的开放立场，但该公司的现在和未来都是由其辉煌的过去直接决定的。成立于20世纪50年代，它被赋予了一个非胡说八道的名字(意为“意大利陶瓷”的缩写)，并为表面提供了一种创新和激进的方法。从20世纪50年代到90年代，该公司与这个时代一些最杰出的设计名号合作。阿莱桑德罗·门迪尼(Alessandro Mendini)、埃托尔·索特萨斯(Ettore Sottsass)和鲍勃·诺达(Bob Noorda)等人都是不断增长的瓷砖设计组合的一部分，而塞迪特还招募了马可·扎努索(Marco Zanuso)为米兰商店和公司设计瓷砖。这些大部分被遗忘的藏品仍然是CEDIT的一个隐藏的、珍贵的遗产，因为它继续将研究和创新与当代艺术和设计结合起来。

The new collection was shown on a diorama-like structure at the Spazio CEDIT in Milan. Pictured: the surface treatment created by Wallpaper* Handmade contributors Giorgia Zanellato and Daniele Bortotto, who referenced worn plastered walls in their design

Contemporary artist Franco Guerzoni worked on the surface’s texture and pigmentation, creating a covering defined by a poetic crumbling effect

Abstract painter Giorgio Griffa applied his signature brush strokes to the surfaces, using the slabs as large canvases to create a series of paintings

The series created by BRH+ explores the textures of cement, with different iterations arranged in modular compositions and using bright shades for the grouting

The new collections include iridescent and metallic tiles by Marco Casamonti, who intervened on the passivation processes of the metal to create moody surfaces

From the 1950s until the 1990s, the company collaborated with some of the most illustrious design names of the era: Alessandro Mendini, Ettore Sottsass and Bob Noorda, among others, were part of the ever-growing tile designs portfolio. Pictured: a floral tile design by Marco Zanuso, from 1971

The brand relaunch and these collections present the diverse possibilities of CEDIT and are testament to its open stance on design, but the company’s present and its future are directly informed by its illustrious design past. Italian architect Sergio Asti was among the collaborators for the brand, creating this organic design in the 1970s

These largely forgotten collections, featuring Ettore Sottsass' black and yellow creation, remain a hidden, treasured heritage for Cedit, as it continues to combine research and innovation with contemporary art and design
