PORCELAIN STONEWARE STONE EFFECT SAINT-MICHEL TUSCANIA

Saint-Michel Collection – The natural elegance of French stone

The Saint-Michel collection by Tuscania Ceramiche is inspired by the timeless beauty of French limestone, reinterpreted through a contemporary lens in rectified porcelain stoneware. Its refined and delicate surface, enriched with subtle mineral inclusions, evokes the natural charm of authentic stone while combining technical performance and Italian design for both indoor and outdoor spaces.

Inspiration and character

Saint-Michel stands out for its highly realistic stone-effect surface, achieved through meticulous digital design with 20 different graphic variations that enhance the natural feel of the collection. The soft matte texture and V4 shade variation create depth and movement, reproducing the organic irregularities of real stone while maintaining the consistency of technical porcelain.

Available in elegant shades of Ivoire and Beige, the collection brings warmth, brightness, and balance to any environment — ideal for residential or contract projects that seek harmony between tradition and modernity.

Technical performance and durability

Produced in compact porcelain stoneware (group BIa), Saint-Michel guarantees water absorption below 0.5% and high mechanical resistance according to ISO 10545 standards. It is completely frost-resistant (no frost – ingelivo), and resistant to thermal shock, chemical agents, and stains, ensuring long-term performance even under the most demanding conditions.

The R10 finish for interiors provides the ideal balance between comfort and safety, while the R11 Outdoor and FP2 20 mm versions are specifically designed for exteriors, ensuring anti-slip performance and stability in terraces, pool areas, and outdoor paths.

Formats and modular design

One of the defining features of the collection is its modularity. The 61x61 cm, 30.4x61 cm, and 30.4x30.4 cm formats can be combined in multiple design layouts to create unique modular compositions. The range also includes large formats for enhanced visual continuity:

• 122.2x122.2 cm (48”x48”) – R10
• 80x80 cm (32”x32”) – R10
• 61x122.2 cm (24”x48”) – R10
• 60x90 cm (24”x36”) – R11 FP2

Thanks to its rectified edges, Saint-Michel allows minimal grout joints and perfect alignment, achieving seamless transitions between interior and exterior areas.

Special pieces and decorative finishes

The collection includes a complete range of special pieces: rectified skirtings, steps, monolithic “L” elements, rounded edges, and linear or corner drainage grids. It also offers a 36-piece monocolor mosaic (30x30 cm) in both Ivoire and Beige, ideal for decorative wall applications or shower areas.

Design trends and applications

In line with today’s natural and minimalist design trends, Saint-Michel merges the charm of natural stone with the performance of technical porcelain stoneware. Its versatility makes it ideal for living rooms, kitchens, bathrooms, hallways, and outdoor spaces, where it provides a consistent aesthetic and an atmosphere of calm elegance.

The FP2 20 mm version is specifically designed for outdoor environments, offering a R11 anti-slip surface and exceptional structural resistance. Perfect for raised installations, dry laying on gravel, or traditional adhesive installation systems.

Conclusion

The Saint-Michel collection by Tuscania is a contemporary and refined interpretation of French limestone. With its natural stone effect, modular versatility, and technical excellence, it is the perfect solution for those seeking aesthetic harmony, durability, and authentic Italian design.

With Saint-Michel, every space becomes a composition of timeless elegance and natural authenticity, elevating architectural design to its purest expression.
