Editor's Note
This editor’s note highlights the key facts and market implications behind “Architects and Interior Designers from Davidedav”, with emphasis on sourcing, product fit, fabrication, logistics, or buyer impact.
When choosing a cladding, the range of materials is overwhelming, with thousands of finishes, colors, textures… each with its most recommended uses and trending aesthetics. We consulted the founding architects of the Davidedavid studio to clarify some key points.
Tendency: Materials that Create Tactile and Emotional Sensations
The wall has ceased to be a neutral background to become an expressive surface, which speaks of the character of the space and those who inhabit it. Materials like sintered stone, natural stuccos, or even large-format ceramic claddings are being used as protagonists, not just as functional finishes. There is a rediscovery of texture as a narrative resource in interior design. And this is seen in textured surfaces. In our studio, we talk a lot about tactile and emotional atmospheres, and the trend in claddings for 2025 is materials with reliefs, veins, imperfections, and textures. They add an emotional dimension to the space.
The Poliedrica project, by ACPV ARCHITECTS -Antonio Citterio and Patricia Viel- in a Milan home, summarizes the best of ceramic and porcelain stoneware tiles. Floors, walls, furniture, and other surfaces unite Marazzi's artisanal tradition with 3D technology.
Versatile Ceramics
It has moved beyond the classic use in bathrooms and kitchens, and we see it increasingly in living rooms, entrances, bedrooms… And this is possible because today there are very refined products, both technically and aesthetically; some imitate natural textures, finishes with depth, large formats… This opens a range of possibilities for it to be another architectural resource. We are drawn to its artisanal soul. It is a material with history, integrating the Mediterranean constructive tradition, and this brings it closer to our way of designing. We like to reinterpret it from a contemporary perspective.
Rebel is the first collection of 4×4 cm designs from Hisbalit inspired by the 70s. The taste for the ornate and maximalism is presented in eleven models in three versions: pop, rustic, and classic. In ecological glass, like all the brand's models.
The Taranto collection, from Porcelanosa, has a natural look and texture inspired by Travertine marble. Its large-format slabs – up to 120×270 cm – ensure continuous surfaces without cracks.
The Rise of New Materials, Like Sintered Stone
Neolith is a contemporary material that allows us to work with surfaces that have presence, depth, and a very refined aesthetic. In our space at Casa Decor, we wanted to create a silent and sensory atmosphere, and sintered stone was key. We used it as an architectural skin that transforms the space: it clads it, protects it, and beautifies it at the same time. Its resistance and versatility combine with expressive capacity.
The Davidedavid studio created, in sintered stone, the installation "Paisaje hacia el interior del alma" (Landscape Towards the Inner Soul), the Neolith space in the latest edition of Casa Decor.
Wallpaper, an Option
It is interesting when the project needs a scenographic element or a graphic gesture. We like it when it has an artistic or symbolic intention. We prefer wallpapers with subtle patterns or illustrations that dialogue with memory or the surroundings.
