PORCELAIN STONE-EFFECT LA LECCESE TUSCANIA

Mediterranean stone reinterpreted with warmth and authenticity

The La Leccese collection by Tuscania is inspired by the traditional Leccese stone, a historic material from southern Italy known for its warm tones and soft, natural texture. Its graphics, featuring up to 22 variations per format according to the manufacturer’s catalogue :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}, evoke the mineral richness of ancient quarries and the craftsmanship that has shaped this stone for centuries. The result is a porcelain stoneware collection that blends natural character, heritage and contemporary design, suitable for both classic settings and modern Mediterranean-inspired interiors.

Technical material: high-performance modular porcelain stoneware

La Leccese is produced in BIa porcelain stoneware, with extremely low water absorption and excellent mechanical resistance. All rectified formats feature a slightly irregular edge (R-BM), enhancing the artisanal, natural look of the series. The collection includes R10 options for indoor use and R11 OUTDOOR versions for wet or exterior areas, ensuring safety and durability in any project. Its NO FROST classification makes it fully suitable for terraces, patios and cold-exposed outdoor spaces.

Modular formats and available colours

One of La Leccese’s strongest features is its system of modular formats, allowing for countless installation patterns, from traditional multi-format layouts to more contemporary designs:

• 61×61 cm – 9 mm (R10 and R11 OUTDOOR)
• 30.4×61 cm – 9 mm (R10 and R11 OUTDOOR)
• 30.4×30.4 cm – 9 mm (R10 and R11 OUTDOOR)
• 20×40 cm – 8.5 mm (N-BM R11 natural-edge outdoor version)
• 30×30 cm tumbled mosaic (5×5 cm tesserae)

The collection is offered in two warm, balanced shades:

• Leccese Avorio: soft cream and beige tones for bright, elegant environments.
• Leccese Almond: warmer, amber-like hues ideal for welcoming Mediterranean-style interiors.

These colours create enveloping, natural surfaces, enhanced by a subtly weathered texture that reflects the authentic mineral character of the stone.

Special pieces

To ensure a fully professional installation, La Leccese includes a complete range of technical elements:

• Rectified skirting 6.5×61 cm
• Monolithic outdoor L-element for steps and edge finishing
• Rectified step tiles 30.4×61 cm
• Step tiles with bullnose 30.4×30.4 cm (straight and corner versions)

Recommended uses and applications

Thanks to its resistance, natural texture and anti-slip options, La Leccese is perfectly suited for:

• Indoor flooring in homes, shops and commercial spaces
• Wall coverings in bathrooms, kitchens and hallways
• Outdoor areas such as terraces and patios (R11 OUTDOOR)
• Wet zones where safer traction is required
• High-traffic environments thanks to its BIa technical classification

The modular design opens up a wide range of decorative possibilities, from classic multi-format layouts to minimal and contemporary compositions.

Design trends: Mediterranean soul with a modern approach

The collection aligns with current trends that emphasise natural materials, artisan finishes and warm, welcoming atmospheres. Its stone-effect surface in soft tones allows for serene, timeless interiors. It pairs beautifully with natural wood, woven fibres, neutral textiles and modern furniture with organic lines.

Its modularity makes it ideal for updated classic layouts, while its balanced aesthetic perfectly suits contemporary “slow living” spaces, modern Mediterranean homes or refined rustic-chic environments.

A modular, natural and versatile collection for demanding projects

La Leccese stands out for its ability to create spaces rich in character, with an authentic stone appearance, strong technical performance and perfect modularity for sophisticated decorative layouts. A porcelain stoneware collection that blends tradition and modernity, true to the excellence of Italian ceramic craftsmanship.
