CLAYBORN By Ceramica Bardelli
Collection: Clayborn
Manufacture year: 2023
Type: Porcelain stoneware wall/floor tiles with concrete effect
Clayborn is a floor collection with a pattern realized thanks to “generative models” of AI, meaning neutral nets able to create starting from the beginning new images based on a series of examples analyzed during the acquisition phase. The new product has been designed and realized in porcelain stoneware, characterized by a three-dimensional surface that guarantees the non-slip properties. The Clayborn floor is available in a double format 60x60 cm e 60x120 cm. Clayborn comes from an unusual partnership between Bardelli Group and Clayborn whisky, that combines tradition with innovation thank to the clever research of primary materials present in Westerwalt caves were clayey water with 35 million years have been used to create a whisky with unquestionable organoleptic properties. It is from the same clay that Ceramica Bardelli has been able to obtain its new Clayborn collection by linking the mining tradition of the place with the innovation of artificial intelligence, thus being able to generate an infinite texture, combining the best graphics of stones, cements and terracotta. A design that considers the best of the flooring trends, achievable thanks to artificial intelligence that allows to generate a new material not present in nature. Starting from an analysis and scanner phase of different natural stones and clays, were generated as many images as possible of the material representative of natural stone. Thanks to this system of creative artificial intelligence, Bardelli Group brings creative innovation of uncountable examples to use for print on tiles, through new forms of collaboration between designer and print technologies on design surfaces. The Clayborn floor in industrial design field is endorsement of a futuristic vision and trend which is developing. In these first applications from Bardelli Group, the entire creation process was done in a synergic work, side by side between technologies and designer, whose role is essential in the first phase of selecting material, checking, finishing, adjustment and optimization of final output. The artificial intelligence is partner of the whole process, multiplier of creativity, with always different and never predictable products as results. In the artificial intelligence field, Bardelli Group signed a partnership with Digital Design, a famous design studio based in Fiorano Modenese (MO) that, through an important cooperation with AImageLab laboratory of Unimore (University of Modena and Reggio Emilia), developed a generative system for realization of digital images for print on surfaces, creating a license.
