SICHENIA STARRING AT COVERINGS 2021
The Sassuolo company flies overseas to bring the innovative features of Italian-made ceramics to the leading exhibition in the USA

Sichenia reconfirms its presence, bringing with it new collections, handmade and full of technology.
You will find us at stand 2349, where craftsmanship, creativity and emotions will emerge.
Sichenia’s atelier suggests a new way of embellishing and coordinating its own products by transferring the concept of hand decoration to porcelain stoneware. The passion for art, style and Made in Italy guides the team of our creative laboratory, which has always been a group of innovators and experimenters.
DOMUS 3D: PROJECT OF THE MONTH – DECEMBER
This month’s project, a bathroom featuring tiles from Sichenia, is ready for download directly from the Live! page of DomuS3D. This minimalist bathroom features tiles in various shapes and colors from the Mus_eum collection.
Mus_eum can be used on floors and walls, on its own, or paired with other collections. The collection features four colors, multiple shapes, and three finishes:
Lux reflects light and enhances the brightness of your room;
Matt marks out contemporary spaces and offers an elegant experience. Nanotechnology in the glaze creates a surface that is both soft to the touch and slip-resistant;
Sabbiata Grip has strong anti-slip properties, making it especially suitable for use Outdoors and in Wellness areas.
Mixing these surfaces gives you the ability to use the material in numerous contexts, creating unique and original interactions with light throughout any space.
Design your room in 3D with Sichenia’s quick and simple online design tool, created by Maticad. You’ll find a wide array of Sichenia products within the tool, ready to offer you a realistic visual experience for every room of the house.
OUTDOOR: HIGH THICKNESS FOR EXTERIOR DESIGN
When buying a new house or renovating an old one, we mainly focus on the interiors and tend to give minor importance to balconies, gardens, terraces, yards i.e. the outdoor areas.
The outdoor space is the gateway to any home, and it is therefore a fundamental area where designers, decorators, architects and individuals can express their creativity.
Ceramic tiles are a safe material because they are hypoallergenic, resistant to microbes and suitable in a wide range of situations. Their size does not alter due to changes in temperature, they are resistant to frost and aggressive chemical detergents. They are completely recyclable because they do not contain plastic, and lastly they do not burn.
However, outdoor floors have to fulfill certain requirements that are different from indoor ones. The choice therefore cannot only be aesthetic but must also take into consideration:
The designated use and the local weather conditions.
The outdoor 20mm thick slabs designed by Sichenia, are created specifically to solve the problems related to furbishing outdoor spaces. Aesthetic quality and high technical performance combine to guarantee a lasting and carefree solution.
It is a product that resists to thermal shock and atmospheric agents, it is also waterproof, non-slip, resistant to heavy loads and resistant to mold and stains.
The high thickness allows greater versatility of installation without the use of glue. It becomes the perfect solution for all outdoor environments with earth, gravel or sand bottoms.
With Sichenia’s products it is possible to customize outdoor environments thanks to porcelain stoneware, a material that can recreate wood, stone and concrete effects. It offers also new possibilities thanks to the different laying methods:
- Installation on screed. For surfaces that will be used by vehicles or subject to very high traffic, install the material by bonding it to the cement screed. Leave a tile gap of at least 2 mm and respect expansion joints.
- Dry installation on gravel or sand. Can be simply laid directly on the ground or on any flat screed.
- Raised installation on screeds. With raised installation on flat screeds, floating floors can be laid on fixed spacing supports, which can be adjusted manually or with a height adjuster. Thanks to the raised supports, floors can be built with gaps at different heights that provide ventilation to the lower layers, thus preventing mold and residual moisture, and enable the flooring system to be installed, maintained and modified with ease.
- Laying on grass. Dry laying on grass allows the creation of paths and areas that integrate well both with the surrounding landscaping and a variety of architectural contexts. Used in this way, it is ideal not only for gardens and pathways but also for larger private and public parks and leisure areas.

“LET’S OPEN A NEW ERA” CERSAIE 2019
From the 23st to the 27th of September, Bologna, housed one of the biggest events in the ceramics and more.
“Let’s open a new era” is the motto of this Cersaie edition, the same philosophy that Sichenia shows in her new ceramics projects. Those projects are unique and sophisticated, tradition-bound but also innovative and able to offer great technical performance.
Sichenia decides to play with new shapes, fusion of materials, colours and decorations. Metal is the main material of Me_Tra, the star of the exhibition. The fusion between cement and metal inspires this new ceramic project with peculiar and attractive features. The surfaces are smooth and unique thanks to charming combination between reflection and opacity, they look like polished by atmospheric agents. It can be used in extremely elegant settings, also It can be used in casual location when combined with Me_Tal.
The natural elegance of the stone, relives in St_One: a project with strong personality and flexibility. This year, St_One is enriched with new original shapes, that are differents from what we are used to see. This is a collection for walls and floors, dedicated for both indoor and outdoor spaces. Its strengths is the perfect combination between modern style, versatility and high performance.
At the same time, Sicenia decide to use the new “Pentagonal” shapes also with Silvis. The wood and its natural shades, are the muse and lend to ceramics beauty and hight performance.
Sichenia wants to join the 2020 with more attention to outdoor settings, in fact Chateaux and St_One have both the multi-format. The 60×90 is the master and with its additional sizes 30×60 and 60×60 makes the ambient more attractive and elegant. This is a complete project but it is easy to deal with because the modul comes pre-assembled.
