METALLIC EFFECT PORCELAIN TILE METROPOLITAN RECTIFIED TUSCANIA

Tuscania Ceramiche Metropolitan Collection

The Metropolitan collection by Tuscania Ceramiche captures the essence of contemporary urban design. Inspired by industrial aesthetics and the metallic nuances created by the passage of time, this series of porcelain stoneware delivers surfaces with a strong technical and visual character. Its oxidized metal effect adds visual depth and instant sophistication, making it ideal for both residential interiors and high-end commercial projects.

Design and visual impact

The metallic finish with oxidized veining and timeworn graphics creates a lively texture with subtle reflections. This play of light and shade gives each tile a unique personality and a distinctly underground contemporary appeal. Metropolitan fits modern, elegant interiors, adding character while preserving visual harmony.

Colours and finishes

Available in three carefully curated shades, the collection offers a refined take on industrial metal:

• Nichel: a light, sophisticated tone that enhances brightness and spatial breadth.
• Iron: the perfect balance of modern and urban, ideal for contemporary interiors.
• Blue: a deep, elegant hue with coppery accents for a distinctive touch.

All variants are rectified with an R10 slip rating, ensuring safety and performance without compromising elegance.
