In recent years, interior design has rediscovered the charm of glazed ceramic surfaces, capable of reflecting light and visually expanding spaces.
After a long period dominated by matte textures and raw finishes, glossy surfaces are once again taking centre stage in contemporary projects, bringing with them a new sense of elegance and authenticity.
Tonalite has always made small formats and handcrafted-inspired production its distinctive signature, and with its latest collections, it confirms a continuous path of research, colour and aesthetic quality.
For centuries, glazed ceramics have represented one of the most authentic expressions of Italian craftsmanship.
Their tonal variations, subtle irregularities, and the luminous quality of glaze tell a story of handmade gestures, warmth, and living material.
Today, these same features become a contemporary design language — where each surface is conceived to evoke emotion, reflect light, and create depth.
The new collections Mayfair and Watercolor embody this dialogue between tradition and innovation: ceramic surfaces that revive the handcrafted charm of gloss, reinterpreted with modern design sensibility.
With its 5.7×23.2 cm listel format, the Mayfair collection redefines the concept of elegance through glossy, shaded surfaces with variegated colours, available in six tonal variations.
The brilliance of the glaze adds depth and rhythm to walls, adapting beautifully to both vertical and horizontal layouts.
The small format allows for creative freedom and dynamic reflections — ideal for residential and commercial environments that aim to stand out through style and refinement.
Mayfair is a collection that invites you to design with light, turning wall coverings into vibrant, architectural features.
In its 15×30 cm format, the Watercolor collection celebrates the charm of traditional Italian majolica, featuring a glossy, slightly undulated surface that captures and reflects light in ever-changing ways.
The bell glazing application creates a naturally uneven colour distribution, generating subtle tonal variations and reflections that make each tile unique.
Available in 15 colours, Watercolor pays homage to craftsmanship while expressing a refined, contemporary aesthetic.
Completing the series, Cannet introduces a reeded relief décor in the same 15×30 cm format, designed to complement Watercolor backgrounds or stand alone as a statement surface.
The vertical grooves and light reflections add movement and depth, bringing a sense of rhythm and individuality to every space.
A language of light, colour and detail
Glossy surfaces are once again architectural tools — not just decoration, but materials that interact with light and space, amplifying brightness and creating atmosphere.
With Mayfair and Watercolor, Tonalite reaffirms its vision, deepened through research: enhancing small formats and chromatic experimentation to offer designers new opportunities for creative expression.
Two collections that share the same philosophy of ceramics — authentic, luminous, and timelessly contemporary.
