Coverings is the most important trade event in North America for the ceramic and natural stone industry. The 2017 edition featured three stands designed by Area-17 for three renowned international brands, among which the Stonepeak Ceramics stand that was awarded with the “2017 Best In Show.”
The exhibition concept revolves around the idea of showing the product staged in a realistic high-end residential environment. From an architectural standpoint, the space is inspired by the archetype of a rural house. The stylized cabin shape is enhanced by the somber dark exterior finish. The exceptionally bright interiors provide a striking contrast that attracts visitors into the booth.
The interior features typical functions of a sophisticated yet welcoming residential environment. The central cut defines a precious entrance, which opens onto a kitchen and dining area on one side, and onto an informal living area adjacent to a refined "salle de bain" on the other side. Almost all the furnishing is custom made and includes Stonepeak Ceramics materials.
