Italtile presents Ceramica Sant’Agostino’s DripArt, an extraordinary embodiment of the Metal Effect Tile Trend.

Thanks to continuous innovation in tile technology, porcelain surfaces now venture into previously uncharted territory. Ceramica Sant’Agostino, a respected partner of Italtile, consistently pushes boundaries through experimentation, and we are excited to introduce DripArt—a porcelain tile range of unparalleled beauty inspired by the intriguing process of corrosion.

There's something enchanting about the way living metal responds to the elements, a transformation that etches chemical changes in profoundly beautiful ways, altering the metal's character and ambiance. DripArt captures this transformation through what Sant’Agostino calls "the LiquidGesture," which portrays the fluid interpretation of corrosive liquid on metal.

The DripArt Collection draws inspiration from six distinct metal aesthetics: Titanium, Calamine, Bronze, Iron, Verdigris, and Copper. For the South African market, Italtile has chosen Copper and Verdigris for their compatibility with local tastes and aesthetics.

The irregular, corrosive drip patterns create a dynamic, living surface, endowing each porcelain tile with powerful graphic variation and a unique alchemical atmosphere. DripArt Copper exhibits strong coppery tones with subtle green accents, while DripArt Verdigris embraces intense blue-green hues (Verdigris, an old French term, refers to the green patina formed on copper over time in contact with saltwater).

The range offers 40 different graphic versions of the tile pattern, ensuring extreme originality and variety in any installation, be it on walls or floors. 

DripArt makes a remarkable addition to Italtile’s expanding Metal Effect Tile Collection, designed to elevate modern and urban spaces with dramatic aesthetics, ideal for contemporary design.

With its strong EcoQuality credentials, the exclusive DripArt range of porcelain tiles will bear Italtile’s LiveGreen label, highlighting its commitment to sustainability.
