Fibonacci Stone 新品发布 | Neues Terrazzo Collection

Eventide.

I don’t mean to be revealing my age here, but I still clearly remember ringing up Fibonacci Stone during my time of practising as an interior designer to order larger samples of what, to me, was one of the best and most exciting terrazzo products in Australia. The internal joke is that I was one of Fibonacci’s first interior designers and clients on their CRM – a little lady from Bates Smart in Sydney, who just absolutely loved their product. I could seriously never find better colours anywhere else.

Anyway, we’re going back some 10+ years here, and whilst a great deal has changed for both myself and for Fibonacci during this time, one thing remains a constant – I still adore terrazzo, now possibly more than ever, and Fibonacci have gone from strength to strength to cement themselves as one of the key suppliers of terrazzo in Australia, and the only one of their kind in this country, with their eyes firmly set on the rest of the world. “Hold your horses, Dana – one thing at a time,” I hear them say. And fair enough, too.

One of the reasons Fibs (hey, do you mind if I call you Fibs? No? Cool bananas) have been so successful is the fact they approach product development from a bigger picture. Taking inspiration from many things – art, architecture, travel, fashion, history, nature and, of course, Australia’s thriving design scene – Fibonacci have managed to maintain an edge by staying responsive to the current market trends, but to also lead the way with more directional offerings. This is all backed up with their unparalleled quality in materials and manufacturing, and also importantly – availability. Jackpot.

Recently the team have taken the time to edit their extensive range – they’ve refreshed a few of their classic designs, and added several stunning new options, with more to come very soon, so stay tuned. Woohoo!

Fibonacci Stone’s latest range, Neues is where architecture and nature collide to create a distinctly robust, unapologetic homage to the hard-edged beauty of Brutalist forms. Intense but never overpowering, the Neues range plays with light and shade, each with a faint warmth to be found within its base. Fibonacci Stone’s founder and creative director, Michael Karakolis, describes the Neues family as having been “developed with the driving intent to create the perfect hard surface stone for main floor areas. We’ve found that it creates an incredibly versatile base palette for lighter or more moody schemes, as the subtle colouring of greys set within a contrasting warm base provides a light appearance overall, but it also provided the best performance characteristics of a darker floor.”

“We’ve designed the Neues range with variations in the aggregate size, from a traditional terrazzo look right down to very refined superfine blend, so that designers may control the impact of the tile in the overall aesthetic – and the floor texture can be scaled up or down, according to the project,” says Michael. “They can also be used together – it’s not incredibly noticeable when viewed en masse, but on closer inspection, a beautiful new layer of interest will emerge.”

I’ll leave you now to enjoy these beautiful campaign images styled by Bek Sheppard and shot by Haydn Cattach of the Neues collection, including designs as follows – Neues Grey, Neues Grey Fine, Hardware, Khaki Jam and Eventide. By the way, if your German is a little rusty like mine, Neues is pronounced Noyss (as in different, unusual). Solid. Gold.
