Castellón, Spain—Durstone is highlighting the role of touch, texture and light in ceramic surface design, emphasizing how these elements influence the appearance and feel of interior spaces.
The brand’s approach focuses on the relationship between ceramic materials and the people who interact with them. Surface textures, reliefs and finishes create different sensory experiences beyond visual design.
Texture and touch
Durstone uses the human body as a reference point for exploring ceramic surfaces. Contact with skin, fabric and other materials helps reveal differences in texture, proportion and surface relief.
Smooth and rough finishes offer distinct tactile qualities, while raised patterns add depth and dimension.
The role of light
Lighting also influences how ceramic surfaces appear. Textured finishes create shadows, while matte and glossy surfaces reflect light differently. These effects can change throughout the day, revealing variations in surface detail, depth and texture.
Beyond surface design
Durstone’s approach encourages designers to consider how ceramic materials interact with their surroundings. By emphasizing touch and lighting alongside appearance, the brand aims to demonstrate how surface selection can influence the overall experience of an interior space.
