Chicco by 41zero42

Collection Summary

Chicco by 41zero42 is a colored-body porcelain collection inspired by battuto veneziano, the traditional Italian technique of Venetian terrazzo. The collection is offered in five main colors, Greige, Verde, Senape, Rosa, and Cacao, along with a Multicolor mosaic option. Field formats include 12×12, 24×24, and 24×48 inches, produced with an HD digital colored body, a natural rectified finish, and a 9 mm thickness. What distinguishes Chicco is the pairing of that large-format field tile with a dedicated family of geometric mosaics, Regolo, Quadra, and Onda, letting a single collection move between broad surfaces and detailed pattern work.

Design & Aesthetic

Chicco reinterprets terrazzo through a contemporary, restrained palette rather than the neutral stone tones typically associated with the material. Greige and Cacao read as grounded neutrals, while Verde, Senape, and Rosa bring in muted, earthy color without pushing into a bright or saturated register.

The Regolo, Quadra, and Onda mosaics extend the collection beyond field tile by working color and geometry at a smaller scale. Several of these mosaics combine more than one Chicco color within a single design, giving designers a way to introduce pattern density or visual movement while staying within the same material family as the field tile.

Material & Craftsmanship

Chicco is produced as an HD digital colored-body porcelain with a natural, rectified finish and a 9 mm thickness. Its design reference point is the Italian battuto veneziano tradition and its historical use across residential, civic, and architectural settings.

Design Applications

Chicco is specified for both floor and wall applications. Because the collection includes both large-format field tile and mesh-mounted decorative mosaics, it supports projects that call for a continuous field surface in one area and a more detailed, pattern-driven treatment, such as a mosaic accent or transition zone, in another, without introducing a second material.

Specifying Chicco

Field tile and mosaic formats in Chicco do not share the same nominal dimensions, so the specific format and color composition should be confirmed for each area of a project rather than assumed to match across field and mosaic. Several mosaic designs blend multiple Chicco colors rather than mirroring a single field color, which matters when coordinating a mosaic accent with a specific field tone. Chicco is a special-order European collection with a current Tile X Design lead-time guidance of approximately 10 to 16 weeks, which should be reconfirmed before finalizing a project schedule.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can Chicco field tile and mosaics be combined in the same project?
Yes. The collection includes 12×12, 24×24, and 24×48-inch field formats alongside Regolo, Quadra, and Onda mosaic designs, allowing a shift in scale or pattern while remaining within the Chicco material family.

Are all Chicco mosaics a single color?
No. Several mosaic options, including certain Regolo and Onda designs, combine two Chicco colors in one composition, so the color makeup should be checked before pairing a mosaic with a specific field tone.

Does Chicco’s frost resistance mean it is approved for outdoor use?
The listed frost resistance and R10 anti-slip rating point to durability characteristics relevant to demanding environments, but outdoor use should be confirmed directly with your TXD representative before specifying.

How far in advance should Chicco be ordered?
Chicco is listed as a Special Order EU item with an estimated 10 to 16 week lead time. Given the format and mosaic coordination involved, confirming current availability early in the specification process is worthwhile.

Is Chicco suitable for both floors and walls?
Yes. The collection is listed for floor and wall applications, which supports using the same material across adjoining surfaces.
