The wide range of flavours is reproduced in the colour palette used to create the shop’s furnishings and fittings, which work with a dominant shade – white – to produce a creative finish.
Fondovalle was the ideal partner to reinforce this architectural philosophy, with offerings for floors, walls, and also items of furniture such as the countertop, the shelves in the cafe, and the tables for customers.
Shards (in the Small White and Small Gray versions) and Infinito 2.0 (in the Calacatta Gold and Ombra di Caravaggio colour options) encapsulate the essence of Ocean Beyond Blue, making it an attractive, contemporary café.
The light bouncing off the shards embedded in porcelain stoneware bring depth and a distinctive nature to the furniture created – such as tables and shelves – and the tiled areas of the ice cream & coffee shop.

Pizzeria Meggie La Capricciosa
An ambitious project and a sentimental choice (akin to love), the Maggie La Capricciosa pizzeria owes its name to its owners' passion for pizza. Celebrating their love of traditional Neapolitan pizzas, the pizzeria has taken the name of the classic of classics, the Margherita, and invented a pet name for it, Maggie.

Kazan Mall
Noble and fascinating, the city of Kazan offers a perfect blend of culture, where tradition and innovation coexist in radically renovated buildings and infrastructure facilities which make it a perfect crossroads for business and the meeting of civilisations. Against this backdrop, where pioneering technology is called upon to enhance the beauty of the past, the Kazan Mall is a concentration of ancient and modern, which offers a shopping and entertainment experience including over 150 stores carrying world-famous brands.

bakery & hotel (BED-BIKE-BREAD)
Located in the tourist village of Csopak, in Hungary, Buborék Csopak offers a cosy place for cyclists and nature walk enthusiasts to stay all year round, accompanied by various other services (BED-BIKE-BREAD). The building was completely refurbished in June 2022 to create a location that houses not only a bakery, but also a bike shop and a hotel. The upper floor has been repurposed to provide a comfortable place where travellers can stay the night and recharge their batteries (in more ways than one!).
What architects Eszter Bertóty and Edit Móder were aiming for was to create a space that was both functional and inviting, featuring a clean contemporary design born from a fusion of Scandinavian and Mediterranean moods.
Bathed in neutral tones, the interiors are furnished with modern furniture with natural materials predominating throughout. Inside the building then, the bakery's characteristic counter, the fireplace, and the bathrooms walls are all tiled with Ceramica Fondovalle porcelain stoneware from the Res Art collection, in the Talc, Pottery and Mud shades.Res art
