Stone-effect porcelain stoneware is reimagined in the Saxum collection by Casalgrande Padana, where material and design achieve a harmonious balance. The name itself, Saxum—Latin for “rock”—evokes a solid, primordial origin, reinterpreted through a contemporary language that engages in a dialogue with today’s architecture.
Stone becomes refined surface
Saxum was conceived from a clear vision: to transform stone into a sophisticated surface, preserving its natural allure while expanding its interior-design potential. The result is a porcelain-stoneware surface that goes beyond cladding to define a space’s identity.
Soft veining, controlled imperfections, and tonal variations create an authentic material designed for high-end residential spaces and refined contract projects.
Applications and properties: indoor-outdoor continuity
One of Saxum’s most distinctive characteristics is its ability to adapt to a variety of living environments while maintaining its aesthetic consistency and superior performance. Stone-effect porcelain stoneware tiles become a versatile design instrument, ideal for both floors and wall cladding.
Inside, Saxum enhances spaces such as open-plan living areas, kitchens, and bathrooms, creating continuous surfaces that amplify the perception of space. In bathrooms in particular, it lends itself to spa-like solutions, with walk-in showers and surfaces that evoke natural stone while offering simplified maintenance.
Outdoors, the collection expresses its full potential thanks to the 20 mm thick version with an anti-slip surface. Terraces, patios, poolside areas, and pathways become natural extensions of the home. The option of both traditional and dry installation on gravel or grass offers great design flexibility, which is ideal for creating fluid and harmonious spaces.
From a technical standpoint, Saxum porcelain stoneware tiles ensure resistance to impact, abrasion, frost, and chemical agents. The surface does not absorb water or retain dirt and preserves its color over time, making it ideal for long-lasting flooring.
Colors, surfaces, and sizes: a contemporary material language
Saxum‘s strength also lies in its color palette, designed to complement contemporary interior design styles. The five colors—Beige, Perla, Bianco, Grigio, and Antracite—range from warm, enveloping tones to cooler, more architectural ones.
This variety allows for the creation of different kinds of atmospheres:
- Beige and Perla for bright and welcoming environments
- Bianco for minimalist, contemporary spaces
- Grigio and Antracite for more sophisticated, urban projects
Antracite / Beige / Bianco / Grigio / Perla
Sizes also play a key role in the project. From large 120×120 and 60×120 cm formats—perfect for continuous and minimalist surfaces—to smaller sizes and decorative mosaics, Saxum allows personalization in every space with consistency and precision.
Sustainability and quality: a material for the future
Choosing a stone-effect floor today also means considering its environmental impact. In this regard, Casalgrande Padana sets a benchmark thanks to a closed-cycle production process that reduces emissions and waste.
Saxum porcelain stoneware is made from natural raw materials, fully recyclable, and designed to last. Its durability reduces the need for frequent replacement, contributing to a more sustainable approach to contemporary living.
The result is a surface that combines aesthetics and responsibility, designed for those seeking high-end solutions without compromise.
