Tharsis draws its inspiration from a valuable construction material wihich has been utilized for the paving and decoration of prestigious buldings ever since the flourishing of the Assyro-Babylonian and Egyptian civilizations. |
The name originates from the desert surrounding the Egyptian city of Nithia. |
In the ancient times this stone, with which the Roman emperors Nero, Diocletian and Constantine erected their palaces and sepulchres, was coming exclusively from several quarries located in the Egyptian desert. |
The graphic layout of these coloured body porcelain tiles shows a mixture of sand and pebble residues with aesthetical characteristics which vary from sedimentary rocks to porphyry. |
Porphyry cromatisms distinguish the materials where the colour range moves from a light creamy white to a sandy beige, an orange brown up to warm and cool greys. | The surface of this product is enriched with a crystalline application creating a dry touch effect which embodies the full force of a highly multicoloured natural stone. |
