Colour blocking: a season to celebrate colour
From the runway to the project: colour blocking as a contemporary language
With roots in the world of fashion and now more relevant than ever on catwalks, in magazines and on design blogs, Colour Blocking is taking over interior design as well: a vibrant and visually powerful response to the monochromatic neutrality of recent years.
More and more architects and creatives are embracing bold, saturated colour blocks to sculpt spaces, enhance volumes and create rhythm. This strong, daring, yet surprisingly versatile aesthetic finds the perfect medium in Lea Ceramiche surfaces, which serve as an ideal tool for bringing innovative ideas to life.
Thanks to the perfect alchemy of material, colour and technology.
And seen at Milano Design Week 2025 – where colour took centre stage as a source of well-being, optimism and joy – Colour Blocking also proves to be a gesture with deep emotional power. A design approach that brings energy, authenticity and vitality to everyday spaces, whether residential or public.
Pigmenti e SEGNI su Pigmenti
Pigmenti is a manifesto-collection by Ferruccio Laviani and the recipient of an iF Design Award as well as an Archiproducts Design Award, it transforms the concept of colour into pure material. Twelve bold shades – from dusty blues to sage greens, terracotta tones to urban greys – interact with silky, lightweight, and ultra-thin surfaces.
The SEGNI su Pigmenti capsule collection, also by Laviani, introduces a three-dimensional decorative language inspired by 1960s graphics and design applied to Slimtech surfaces. A multi-award-winning project (Archiproducts Design Award, ADI Design Index), it encapsulates Lea’s approach to experimentation with colour, technology, and texture.
Masterpiece
Fruit of the same collaboration, Masterpiece blends cement and natural stone to create a surface that is both industrial and elegant. Its sophisticated tones – ranging from sandy beige to graphite greys and warmer hues – provide the perfect foundation on which to build structured colour compositions, where each block of colour contributes to a harmonious and striking vision.
Noblesse
The latest addition to Lea Ceramiche’s collections, Noblesse celebrates marble, reinterpreting it through twelve striking colour variations. From emerald green to the softly whispered tones of blush pink, the collection demonstrates that even the timeless opulence of marble can make a modern statement, especially when presented in Slimtech's over-sized, ultra-thin formats, perfect for sophisticated interior design projects in which visual continuity is valued.
Slimtech: colour on a large scale
An essential ally in this vision of design is Slimtech technology, which makes it possible to have continuous surfaces, with a format of 120x278 cm and a minimal thickness (3.5 mm, 5.5 mm, 6 mm), characterised by extraordinary durability and flexibility. Ideal for expansive interiors, custom furnishings, or large-scale contracts, Slimtech amplifies the visual of impact of Colour Blocking, delivering a sustainable product that is lightweight and makes a powerful visual statement.
An immersive experience of colour and texture
In a design landscape that is increasingly focused on the identity of a space, Lea Ceramiche offers a concept in which colour is more than a mere decoration, but rather a true tool through which to express an architectural narrative. The Pigmenti, Segni, Masterpiece, and Noblesse collections are more than just surfaces – they are visual alphabets with which to compose new stories made up of light, texture, and harmony.
