Grestec Unveils the Future of Surface Technology and Circularity at Clerkenwell Design Week 2026
Grestec’s 2026 showcase at Clerkenwell Design Week represents a significant leap forward in surface technology and circular design. Located at Material Source Studio London, the focus is structured around two core innovations designed to meet the evolving needs of the UK’s architectural and design community.
1. Advanced Circularity: Artiza & Marika
Addressing the industry's urgent need for carbon reduction, Grestec introduces the Artiza and Marika ranges.
-
Sustainability: Both collections are engineered with 61% recycled content, setting a new standard for sustainable luxury.
-
Aesthetics: Artiza offers a handcrafted ceramic look with high-gloss finishes in a contemporary brick format, while Marika provides a soft, mineral-toned palette in versatile matt and gloss textures.
2. Grestec Coretone™ Technology: Erde & Brindle
The showcase marks the premiere of Coretone™, a revolutionary "through-body" manufacturing process. Unlike traditional surface printing, Coretone™ incorporates bespoke minerals and porcelain chunks throughout the entire depth of the tile.
-
Erde: A raw, tactile full-bodied porcelain that replicates the density of natural stone.
-
Brindle: A high-density technical porcelain featuring a refined multi-tonal fleck designed for extreme wear resistance.
-
Performance: Both ranges are purpose-built for high-traffic commercial environments, featuring a slip resistance rating of ≥36 PTV to ensure safety without compromising design integrity.
