From the inspiration of a contemplative vision of the natural environment that surrounds us and the value of its cultural richness, Albufera evokes the silence from the top of a mountain, the reflections of the sun on the earth, the trill of birds flying at dawn, the aroma of the sea breeze, the taste of a good meal with the family, a leisurely stroll…
The designer Rafa Ortega proposes an innovative line of biophilic tiles in which, through a process of creative experimentation, preserved lichen, 100% natural and maintenance-free, is fused in an artisanal way on panels of 100% recycled material from residual cellulose fibres. certified circular material.

Pieces of contemporary craftsmanship that propose an evolution of decorative coverings that can be touched and felt, providing not only sustainability but also a direct connection with nature and the essence of the landscape, transforming walls into windows with a view to wellbeing.

ALBUFERA’s positive impact on both people and the environment is intrinsic to its design and materiality. This is due to the use of recycled and recyclable panels with Cradle to Cradle Gold certification from the company HONEXT®, as well as the water savings provided by the preserved vegetation, which does not require irrigation for its maintenance. This vegetation creates a direct connection with nature, its sensations and the well-being that comes from experiencing the biophilia effect on both humans and spaces.

Based on 2 vegetal tile designs, the aesthetic versatility of this collection allows it to adapt to any space, forming pictures of sensations or infinite artistic compositions that relax, captivate… that also invite introspection to reflect on the need for a collective gaze that helps us to reconnect with our landscapes, preserve them… and even try to improve them.
