Cedit Compatta Floor and Wall Tiles

Compatta is a ceramics collection that combines a fascination with natural matter with one with an extremely ancient construction technique. The project’s primary inspiration springs from an observation of the ground’s many layers and structures, and the mixtures of its elementary constituent particles, completed by a consideration of the age-old rammed earth building method, which constructs continuous walls from raw earth compacted into cases.

Through their evocation of this traditional construction technique, Federico Peri’s designs remind us of architecture and thus art, which creates and defines the home as our inhabitable environment, thus placing a delicate yet irresistible reference to the natural world within an artificial indoor space.
