Why is Aquatic Creatures useful for an architect?
Aquatic Creatures is useful for an architect because it allows the introduction of a strong, distinctive, and emotional decorative element into a project without the need for extensive use of decoration. Each pattern, motif, and composition is created to evoke a specific imagery made of marine stories, legends, visual suggestions, and cultural references.
Even a single wall, a niche, or a targeted portion of space can bring great personality to an environment. In this sense, the collection becomes a concrete tool for high-end interior design, offering great compositional freedom and control over the final result.
Why does it enable high-end interior design without pushing cladding costs beyond budget?
Because Aquatic Creatures follows a very precise design logic: decoration does not necessarily have to cover the entire wall but can be “diluted” across the surface through integration with the Colorama Decor series, made up of solid-color medium-format tiles by Ceramica Bardelli. This makes it possible to alternate decorative sections with more neutral surfaces, maintaining strong expressive value without economically weighing down the project. It represents an important revival of Ceramica Bardelli’s historical design philosophy, which has always interpreted design as a balance between decoration, color, composition, and freedom of use.

Why is Aquatic Creatures easy to design with?
Because it is a collection conceived to offer free and highly flexible compositional schemes. It does not impose a rigid interpretation but provides visual worlds that can be used in a targeted or more scenographic way, depending on the project concept. The ability to interact with the solid surfaces of Colorama Decor makes the system even easier to design with, as it allows architects to modulate the level of decoration according to space, budget, and desired effect. For greater ease and speed in the design process, Ceramica Bardelli provides high-quality BIM models.
What is the technical value of the collection?
From a technical standpoint, Aquatic Creatures represents one of the most advanced expressions of Ceramica Bardelli’s decorative research. The decorated slabs with raised thicknesses are produced using UHD material-deposition printing, an extremely innovative technology in the field of ceramic decoration. The relief is created exactly where the designer intends the material to be perceived, achieving highly precise tactile and visual results, extremely high print definition, and an extraordinary color range.
