Stile by Casalgrande

Collection Summary

Stile by Casalgrande Padana is a stone-effect porcelain stoneware collection whose varied surface textures recall the traditional craftsmanship of natural stone. Six colors, White Smoke, Pale, Pearl, Beige, French Grey, and Black, are offered in textures including Naturale, Naturale Silk, Diagonale, Rigata, Anticata, Anticata Silk, and Grip. Tiles are precisely squared and rectified in modular sizes from 12×24″ to 48×48″ at 9 mm, with 24×24″ and 36×36″ also in 20 mm. Multiformat modules mix sizes and surfaces. Casalgrande Padana positions Stile for any climate.

Design & Aesthetic

Stile’s design idea is the stonemason’s hand. Diagonale reads as diagonally tooled stone, Rigata as a ribbed or grooved finish, and Anticata as an antiqued, worn surface, while Naturale and the Silk versions keep the look calmer. Because the tiles are modular, sizes combine into multi-size layouts: Modulo Multiformato A mixes three plank and rectangle sizes, and Modulo B combines four surfaces in 8×48″ planks. The six colors stay in a soft, mineral range from White Smoke to Black. Tile X Design rates the collection V1.

Design Applications

Casalgrande Padana positions Stile for large commercial spaces, public buildings, and restoration projects. Tile X Design lists the application as Any and associates the collection with bathrooms, kitchens, feature walls, and fireplace surrounds. Scenarios include public lobbies laid in multiformat modules, restoration projects where a tooled-stone surface suits a historic setting, interior floors continuing outdoors in the 20 mm formats (once exterior suitability is confirmed), and feature walls mixing textures in one color. The manufacturer lists bullnose, steps, edge and corner pieces, and grilles (30×40×2 and 13×40×2 cm).
