ARTWORK ITALIAN HERITAGE | Art de Vivre
Art de Vivre: great beauty and a sophisticated refinement animate the new collection that Artwork Italian Heritage by Kerasan dedicates to luxury bathroom furniture.
The best ceramics for sanitary ware combined with the finest marble play the leading role in a unique environment, a symbol of unconditional exclusivity. Design Architect Paolo Marioni
Artwork Italian Heritage by Kerasan expresses itself through the creation of furnishing accessories characterised by a strong personality, with distinctive features that tell of an Italian artisanship at its best, offering unique, customisable, and functional objects.
Thanks to its extensive know-how and a tradition that has been handed down for more than sixty years, Artwork Italian Heritage by Kerasan reinterprets ceramics in an innovative and visionary way, creating products that tell the story of the present but, at the same time, are projected into the future.
Art de Vivre was created in the spirit of the most exclusive luxury, in which art and superb craftsmanship come together in an unprecedented and original combination.
With Art de Vivre the bathroom is transformed into a veritable ‘salle de bains’: a space that, while maintaining its functionality, invites greater well-being and self-care, regenerating not only the body, but also the mind through so much widespread and artfully designed beauty. It is extremely pleasant to spend time in a bathroom where every detail, even the smallest, tells of the care and passion that the craftsman has put into his creation, giving us a product that is both distinctive and unique. Art de Vivre has created the luxury of a timeless bathroom that maintains its beauty and appeal thanks to a balance of natural materials such as marble, stone, and ceramics, in line with an inspired and attentive style that goes beyond fashion and trends.
‘Made in Italy’ makes a difference’
The Art de Vivre collection belongs to the precious, all-Italian tradition of high craftsmanship that is still alive in the workshops and laboratories of our country, but which finds a fundamental point in technological expertise that makes it possible to produce a line of sanitaryware with such specific features. Artwork Italian Heritage by Kerasan is therefore the ability to combine traditional craftmanship with the leading production technologies of industry. Therein lies its essence and uniqueness.
Marble, the natural stone par excellence, perfectly expresses the idea of luxury that Artwork Italian Heritage by Kerasan has conceived for this line of precious sanitary ware.
Precious and elegant marbles cover the ceramic sanitary ware of Artwork Italian Heritage by Kerasan as if they were tesserae of a mosaic: it is the hands of the artisans who, with their skilful workmanship, cover the clean and simple shapes of each piece, turning them into sculptures that will enliven our daily life with absolute beauty and style. Thin marble strips are hand-glued one by one onto the ceramic bathroom fixture, giving it a unique character and making it a timeless object.

The timeless elegance of black marble
Nero Marquina is a deep black, fine-grained marble, with more or less vivid white veins. The brilliance and depth of the black, contrasting with the white veins, make it one of the most popular and sought-after marbles, especially in interior design. Artwork Italian Heritage by Kerasan has chosen it for one of the five variations of the Art de Vivre collection because it expresses not only elegance, but also awareness and an unparalleled personality, capable of giving us washbasins, toilets and bidets with a strong emotional impact which are perfectly suitable for any environment.
The infinite purity of white Carrara marble
The white marble of Carrara is a marble of outstanding quality. It is known throughout the world and its history is incredibly ancient. It is considered the material of choice in art, architecture, and design. That is why a bathroom made of white Carrara marble could not be missing from the Art de Vivre collection. Stylistic purity, formal balance and visual harmony are the outstanding features of a bathroom design made exclusively of sanitary ware in pure white ceramic, clad with thin tiles of white Carrara marble.
The chromatic energy of Sodalite Lapis lazuli
The vibrant beauty of sodalite lapis lazuli makes the bathroom an exciting place to be. The chromatic nuances that characterise the surface of this stone are intense and elegant. Its durability makes it very suitable for a wide range of interior design applications. For this reason, Art de Vivre presents a bathroom dedicated to the blue of sodalite with its typical black, white, and yellow veins. A refined luxury is realised through
The stimulating brightness of Giallo Siena
Giallo di Siena marble is certainly a marble of great uniqueness, known since ancient times and still highly sought after today for cladding and decorative objects. Quarried in the hills of Siena, each slab or block is a unique piece with its own colour gradations and veins. Yellow, the colour of the sun and gold, gives this stone a great energy that, when skilfully laid on sanitary ceramics, transforms into a texture with a strong visual impact.
Verde Alpi, the aesthetic value of a precious material
Verde Alpi marble is refined, elegant and environmentally sustainable. The basic colour is a dark green with numerous nuances that make the material unique. The whole is further embellished by veins tending towards white or yellow, which stand out against the green background and emphasise its decorative power. It originates from the Alps of western Italy. Its use in interior decoration and design evokes a significant style and a rare beauty that is always luxurious. Each tile of Verde Alpi that covers the Art de Vivre ceramic sanitary ware is carefully selected and assembled to create textures and patterns that highlight the veins of this stone.
