In a unique cultural reference, the I Sassi Matera collection brings together history, materiality and design to create a collection rooted in heritage yet expressed through a contemporary lens.

The collection draws inspiration from the natural formation of Matera itself, where soft calcarenite stone, shaped over time by water and wind erosion, defines the texture and character of the landscape. This geological identity becomes the foundation for a refined ceramic interpretation that captures depth, movement and authenticity in surface form.

Developed as part of the wider I Sassi Collection, alongside I Sassi Borgogna, the Matera design reflects a carefully considered fusion of materials and aesthetics. It combines the Borgogna background with layered decorative flakes, creating a surface that is entirely unique in its expression. Notably, both I Sassi Matera and I Sassi Borgogna share the same base background, ensuring a seamless visual connection and a perfectly balanced colour relationship between the two designs. This coordinated approach enhances continuity across the collection while allowing each surface to maintain its own distinct identity.

I Sassi Matera is available in dark greige, dark ivory, dark sand and grey, with coordinated decors designed to extend creative flexibility across applications. Offered in 90x180cm, 120x120cm and 60x120cm formats, the collection supports a wide range of design requirements, from large scale architectural installations to more detailed interior compositions.

With its layered material narrative and precise aesthetic harmony, I Sassi Matera reflects RAK Ceramics’ commitment to transforming historical inspiration into contemporary surface design, where heritage and innovation coexist in a refined and enduring expression.
