{"product_id":"fonio","title":"Fonio","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFonio is a porcelain stoneware tile collection designed to bring the expressive character of handcrafted ceramics into contemporary interiors. Its glossy surface, deliberately irregular texture and subtle tonal movement create a tactile architectural finish with greater depth and individuality than a uniform machine-made tile.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe collection is available in four coordinated colourways. Bianco provides a luminous warm white, while Natural introduces a soft ivory-beige neutral. Grigio offers a restrained pale grey, and Blu creates a richer, more dramatic blue with visible tonal variation.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFonio combines compact formats with intentionally uneven surfaces and close-joint installation. Changes in glaze, reflection, texture and shade between individual pieces support the collection's handmade appearance and produce natural-looking movement across larger areas.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Lux finish enhances reflected light, colour depth and the fluid character of the glaze. In addition to the flat field tiles, the Pleat 3D structure adds a sculptural ribbed surface in all four colours, allowing light and shadow to become part of the installation.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFour core formats - 50 x 150 mm, 60 x 240 mm, 75 x 200 mm and 150 x 150 mm - provide flexibility for stacked, vertical, horizontal and offset layouts.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFonio can be coordinated with timber, natural stone, warm plaster, painted cabinetry and brushed or aged metal fixtures. Bianco, Natural and Grigio work particularly well in calm neutral interiors, while Blu can introduce stronger colour, contrast and personality to bathrooms, kitchens and hospitality environments.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFlat Fonio tiles are presented by the manufacturer for floor and wall use, making them suitable for applications such as bathrooms, kitchens, splashbacks, powder rooms, feature walls and selected internal floors where the chosen product meets project requirements. Pleat 3D is identified for wall use. The manufacturer also describes the collection as frost proof and resistant to deep abrasion.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eVariation in colour, shade, glaze, texture and apparent surface irregularity should be expected between individual tiles. These characteristics are intentional and form part of Rice's handcrafted appearance. Viewing current samples is recommended before final selection.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"artifact-docx-preview_heading2\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey features\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"artifact-docx-preview_listbullet artifact-docx-preview-num-1-0\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePorcelain stoneware construction\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"artifact-docx-preview_listbullet artifact-docx-preview-num-1-0\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHandcrafted cementine-inspired appearance\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"artifact-docx-preview_listbullet artifact-docx-preview-num-1-0\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eGlossy Lux surface\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"artifact-docx-preview_listbullet artifact-docx-preview-num-1-0\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDeliberately irregular texture and glaze\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"artifact-docx-preview_listbullet artifact-docx-preview-num-1-0\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFour coordinated colourways\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"artifact-docx-preview_listbullet artifact-docx-preview-num-1-0\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFour compact modular formats\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"artifact-docx-preview_listbullet artifact-docx-preview-num-1-0\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFlat field tiles and Pleat 3D structure\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"artifact-docx-preview_listbullet artifact-docx-preview-num-1-0\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eStraight edges suitable for close installation\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"artifact-docx-preview_listbullet artifact-docx-preview-num-1-0\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFrost proof\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"artifact-docx-preview_listbullet artifact-docx-preview-num-1-0\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eResistance to deep abrasion\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"artifact-docx-preview_listbullet artifact-docx-preview-num-1-0\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFlat tiles suitable for floor and wall use\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"artifact-docx-preview_listbullet artifact-docx-preview-num-1-0\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePleat 3D suitable for wall use\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"artifact-docx-preview_listbullet artifact-docx-preview-num-1-0\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSuitable for residential and selected commercial interiors\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"artifact-docx-preview_heading2\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAvailable colours\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"artifact-docx-preview_listbullet artifact-docx-preview-num-1-0\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBianco\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"artifact-docx-preview_listbullet artifact-docx-preview-num-1-0\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNatural\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"artifact-docx-preview_listbullet artifact-docx-preview-num-1-0\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eGrigio\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"artifact-docx-preview_listbullet artifact-docx-preview-num-1-0\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBlu\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"artifact-docx-preview_heading2\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAvailable sizes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"artifact-docx-preview_listbullet artifact-docx-preview-num-1-0\"\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e50 x 150 mm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"artifact-docx-preview_listbullet artifact-docx-preview-num-1-0\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e150 x 150 mm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"artifact-docx-preview_heading2\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAvailable finish\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"artifact-docx-preview_listbullet artifact-docx-preview-num-1-0\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLux - glossy\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNot every colour, format or decoration may be available at all times.
