Editor's Note
This editor’s note highlights the key facts and market implications behind “Quarella: Design with the Allure of Stone”, with emphasis on sourcing, product fit, fabrication, logistics, or buyer impact.
Innovative materials, attention to detail, and technologically advanced solutions characterize the agglomerates from Quarella, which is now also entering the world of kitchens and interior design. Specializing in the production and marketing of marble and quartz-based agglomerates, Quarella has established itself in national and international markets by linking its name to major projects including airports and commercial spaces, as well as public infrastructure and residential areas. Thanks to its long experience and professionalism, Quarella has thus decided to also explore the worlds of interior design and kitchens. The know-how developed and refined over more than 40 years is now transferred to the creation of domestic spaces and kitchens through new materials capable of meeting the design needs of designers and architects. The potential of the agglomerate is pushed to the extreme: work is done on formats and finishes of different compositions, on increasingly thinner thicknesses, and on revolutionary material combinations.
“The great strength of agglomerates lies in their resistance and durability, but also in the possibility of personalization,” explains Laura Testoni, Commercial Director of Quarella. “We can combine resin with parts of quartz or marble of different sizes, working on the most diverse colors and geometries to adapt the final product to customer requests. Collaboration with important designers has allowed us to explore the potential of these materials. Furthermore, working with quarry waste material allows us to be more sustainable without giving up our Italian style.”
During the week of the Salone del Mobile, several entities that have chosen Quarella's innovative capability for new projects related to the heart of tomorrow's home—the kitchen—will be present.
The Orizzonte Collection
Among the various novelties for the kitchen environment proposed by Quarella is the Orizzonte kitchen collection, born from the collaboration with Pianca. The kitchens in the Orizzonte series are distinguished by the "soft" lines of the work block with rounded corners and by the architectural, safe, functional, and ergonomic design, made possible by the use of marble-based agglomerate.
With the Orizzonte collection, the kitchen opens up to the rest of the house and becomes the pulsating nucleus of domestic life and multiple functions, maximizing material, formal appearance, and performance.
The Elegant Hue of Fior di Pesco
In the perspective of opening up to the world of interior design and the kitchen, Quarella not only collaborates with external professionals but also enters the field to create its own kitchens that encapsulate all the Company's expertise. Among these stands out the kitchen made with Fior di Pesco, an eco-sustainable surface of agglomerated marble, which is among the best sellers of the Quarella collection. This elegant material with light gray, warm white, and pastel pink tones is capable of enhancing the surfaces of the most sought-after interiors. This marble originates from the mountains of Friuli and with its soft tones is capable of interpreting modern and elegant environments as well as more classic spaces, blending perfectly within different concepts, giving that touch of Italian iconicity impossible to forget as a sign of timeless style and class. Always refined when used for kitchen countertops and coverings of drawers and baskets of functional furniture destined to transmit value, authenticity, and beauty within the spaces of the present and future, for the generations of today and tomorrow.
Breccia Aurora, Warm and Precious
A suggestive surface from the Quarella collection, ideal for the creation of kitchens, is Breccia Aurora, an agglomerate with warm and precious tones that encapsulates the history of Italian architecture. Quarella reinvents this marble from the quarries of Brescia in a contemporary key, no longer just covering floors, but interpreting kitchen countertops and interior design surfaces with elegant and enveloping tones, bringing the most authentic Italian taste of a renewed classic into homes. Every drawer, compartment, and sideboard of the kitchen made with Breccia Aurora has been crafted in minute detail: from the stone emerge curved shoulders of extremely thin thickness (up to 1 cm), the geometric essentiality of the forms, the skillful balance of vertical elements and horizontal planes, as well as material and color contrasts, obtained with the personalization of structure, countertop, and internal finishes, shaping a product that is no longer just a kitchen, but a space of reconversion, a dimension that looks to new scenarios, for homes that live in the present and pursue the evolution of living.
