The Adda River Valley in Lombardy, a region of Italy famed for its scenic lakes and landscapes, is also the birthplace of Ceppo stone — a unique material dating back to Roman times and particularly prized from the 15th to mid-19th centuries. Characterised by its heterogeneous structure and decorative look, Ceppo stands out for its pebble-like inclusions in contrasting tones. Gardenia Orchidea has reinterpreted this historic stone with a versatile and modern colour palette, perfectly suited to contemporary architectural needs. Its timeless charm is further enhanced by exclusive 3DTech technology, which authentically recreates the aged, timeworn appearance of stone flooring — complete with the natural depressions and porosity that come from centuries of foot traffic.
