The first Marvel collection dedicated to wall tiles, Marvel 3D from Atlas Concorde, combines the realism of marble-effect products with the trend of three-dimensional reliefs, once again elevating marble to a designer surface for decorating room…

The Marvel 3D collection further expands the Marvel world, a complete stylistic project that for over ten years has included all the surfaces of Atlas Concorde inspired by Italian and international marbles, carefully selected from among the world’s finest. With Marvel 3D, the company renews the original objective of the Marvel universe: to propose marble as a designer surface, this time with a capsule collection designed specifically for wall installation, combining the realism of marble- and travertine-inspired products with the trend of three-dimensional reliefs that give the collection a modern, contemporary mood.

The Marvel 3D series originates from five highly elegant and current looks taken from marbles already included in the Marvel world: Marvel Meraviglia, the collection that takes its name from Calacata Meraviglia, the marble that inspired it and gives spaces a whispered elegance, and Marvel Travertine, featuring the majesty of travertine marble replicated in porcelain tiles.
Colour harmony and refinement are the common denominator of the five field tiles, which have a lightly textured surface. Calacata Meraviglia, with sparse, slender grey veins, and Calacata Bernini, a fine Apuan marble, bring out the beauty of white marbles. Light Majestic has a compact light grey background characterised by intense tone-on-tone veins. And Travertine Sand and Travertine White offer two different interpretations of travertine. The first a warm beige with ivory and hazelnut details, the second in lighter shades with delicate sandy hues.

Marvel 3D’s graphics, which are inspired by simple lines, are brought to life in three different surfaces: a light bush-hammered texture (Field) and two soft three-dimensional textures (3D Crease and 3D Reed). The workmanship applied to the 3D surfaces, carefully researched using state-of-the-art industrial technologies, softens the contrasts and colour variations of the five looks of the series, making them more
discreet and elegant while maintaining their original personality.
The mate Field tile, common to the entire range and enriched with a delicate texture, dialogs perfectly with the two three-dimensional reliefs, creating a versatile, modern trio. It is precisely this versatility that sets the Marvel 3D collection apart: whatever the marble or finish, the final effect varies depending on the angle of illumination and the direction of installation (horizontal or vertical) of the slabs, creating interesting interactions of light and shadows and thus endless decorative possibilities.
Another advantage of the Marvel 3D collection is the slabs’ 50×120 cm format, which makes installation more linear due to the smaller number of joints compared to traditional wall tiles.

3D Crease is distinguished by a geometric, modern and sophisticated workmanship that offers marble new architectural opportunities with a more contemporary look. The three-dimensional effect appears and disappears depending on the lighting and direction of the tile, creating interesting chiaroscuro effects from a distance, while up close the slightly bush-hammered texture makes the surface realistic and sculptural.
Field features a surface with a slight three-dimensional texture and a mate finish that make the tile unobtrusive and elegant, thus perfect for wall installation. The state-of-the-art enamelling technique used in its manufacture ensures that the surface is pleasant to the touch. The Field finish can be used alone as a wall cladding, giving the room a strong personality, or combined with matching floor tiles from other Atlas Concorde collections.

3D Reed has a more earthy, irregular, and natural relief, interrupted by the imperfections of hand engraving, reproducing the handcrafted touch and effect achieved depending on the hardness of the original material. It’s a flexible solution that allows the architect to fully express their creativity: the laying direction and the lighting of the room have a decisive influence on the final result, allowing multiple effects to be created. For example, due to the nature of the relief the vertical laying of the slabs completely hides the joints.
In addition to offering unique reliefs and the interaction of light and shadows, Marvel 3D solutions have several advantages compared to “traditional” marble: they’re easy to clean (guaranteed by the depth of the relief, being less than a millimetre), don’t stain, don’t require any kind of maintenance, and are scratch-resistant.
Finally, Marvel 3D products also mix and match easily with other Atlas Concorde collections. For example, they can be used to create a total look together with the floor tiles of the recent and highly successful Marvel Meraviglia and Marvel Travertine series, but also as stand-alone design elements in combination with Atlas Concorde’s wood-effect solutions (Entice) for those who want warmer spaces, or the concrete look of the Boost Balance collection to give settings a more modern style.
