Crema d'Orcia Select Plissé | Sample

An elegant creamy-coloured limestone exclusive to Salvatori, Crema d’Orcia’s warm hues convey a sensation of unexpected softness.
You will often see small holes, the occasional shell-shaped fossil and tiny lines of pink quartz. These are not defects, but instead, are part of the layers of history of each block of stone.
This sample combines Crema d’Orcia with our
Plissé texture, designed by Elisa Ossino.
The name Plissé comes from the French for pleat and refers to the effect of the clean, sharp lines which play with light to evoke a sense of lightness and continuity.
The process which creates our Plissé tiles is designed to preserve the natural aesthetic qualities of the stone. As a result of this, you may notice small imperfections, but these are an intrinsic element that reflect the unique nature of every piece.
Lighting is key to maximising this texture’s beauty, creating an interplay of light and shadow. The key to great lighting is that it should “wash” down or across the surface, depending whether the lines run horizontally or vertically.
We also provide honed tiles cut to the same dimensions so that the fluidity of the lines remains uncompromised.
