during milan design week 2012, thai ceramic company COTTO presented ‘fiume de paradiso’ (river of paradise), an installation composed of ‘marmo granito’ showcasing their latest addition ‘paradiso’, a faux marble tile exhibiting a natural and realistic looking grain very similar to the natural stone itself. the overall space was meant to represent the spirit of the river, and express a respect for nature and sustainable living, specifically in relation to the thai lifestyle of the past and present. the ‘marmo granito-paradiso’ collection is created from a clay fused composite which forms masculine granite-like stone, which can be used indoors and outdoors, something which is important in thai culture.
