Blurring the lime: Atlas Concorde’s new indoor-outdoor collection

Boost Icor embodies the trend of soft, welcoming environments with six light, modern, and elegant shades perfectly suited for both indoor and outdoor spaces; combining the typical warmth of limestone with Atlas Concorde’s signature style.

The new design draws inspiration from the boundless archive of natural stones. The surfaces have a very fine, compact grain and an exceptional richness of detail: inclusions, shading, and colour transitions highlight the Modena-based company‘s distinctive, meticulous attention to detail and pursuit of excellence.

The collection includes a selection developed specifically for walls: 3D surfaces inspired by engraved stones that play with shadows and geometries while joints disappear from view, ensuring aesthetic continuity.
Boost Icor is a member of the Boost World family, reflecting its key concepts of modernity and elegance while also adding the facets of realism, colour research, and decorative possibilities. The architectural design of the spaces was developed together with Marco Casamonti of Archea Associates.

Boost Icor embodies an invitation to experience both the outdoors and the indoors, made tangible by a product that blurs the boundaries between interior and exterior to the point of completely transcending them.

“The idea behind Boost Icor is to offer the possibility of using cements, natural stones, and sedimentary stones even in settings where absorption is a problem. Thus was born the concept of a hyper-stone, a material that retains the feel, look, and colour of natural stones but surpasses them technologically, making them suitable for any space. This represents a fascinating challenge and an opportunity for innovation.” Marco Casamonti, Founder of Archea Associates.

Boost Icor features a palette of warm, light tones complemented by some cooler tones, for a total of six shades (Bone, Dust, Dune, Oyster, Crete, Sideral), developing along the two colour branches of grey and beige. A choice designed by Atlas Concorde to respond to the current market trend of favouring soft, welcoming tones.

Bone is the white of the collection, a multifaceted and never mundane nuance that can be used indoors and out for walls, 3D structures, decors, and mosaics, without losing its distinctive warm inclusions; Dust is a light grey, slightly more neutral version with respect to warmth.

Dune is the colour with the most personality. With its straw shading, it is capable of recreating a perceptible but intangible ambiance in any setting by breaking down the barriers between indoors and outdoors.

Oyster is a fully natural modern grey-beige, ensuring versatility and elegance for all projects that have the ambition to remain relevant over time; Crete is an earthy, modern nuance bursting with character, while Sideral is Boost Icor’s darker – but not gloomy – grey, a must-have shade for any stone-effect collection.

Boost Icor was designed for both outdoor and indoor spaces. One of the special features of the indoor collection is the wide range of formats. In fact, Atlas Concorde offers modules based on 60 cm (from the small 30 x 60cm to the large 120 x 278cm to the Atlas Plan slabs) and 80 x 80cm and 75 x 150cm sizes.

The entire Boost Icor 9 mm and 20 mm range is also made with Sensitech technology, which preserves the softness and ease of surface cleaning while maintaining a high anti-slip grade: R10 A+B in the Matte version and R11C in the Grip version.

Moreover, Boost Icor is the only stone-effect collection in Boost World with Atlas Concorde’s unique 3D wall tile solutions, and features a renewed selection of porcelain decors and mosaics that’s among the most comprehensive in the range.

For the Boost Icor collection, Atlas Concorde specially developed two new three-dimensional structures: 3D Wheat and 3D Masonry, complemented by the Field tile. Field is a matte field tile with a slight three-dimensional bush-hammered texture.

3D Wheat is a texture inspired by organic, regular shapes. The wavy, interwoven lines give the product a sophisticated, unobtrusive decorative power.

3D Masonry draws inspiration from rough bricks, deliberately designed for the purpose of hiding joints through reliefs and the play of light and shadows generated by the module’s geometry. The three solutions are available in two shades: Bone and Dust in the 50 x 120cm format.

The Boost Icor collection’s range of interior decors includes three different solutions that cater to different styles and tastes: simple, linear, and sophisticated.

Railway is an inline decoration available in the 60 x 120 cm format, made by applying a pattern of parallel straight lines at varying distances to the Bone background for a deliberately irregular effect. The Furnace Mosaic is a tribute to hand-worked stone. In this décor, the regular geometry of rectangles is broken and enlivened by the tiles’ irregular edges and varying sizes, giving the space where the mosaic is placed a lived-in look.

The Chevron Mosaic, on the other hand, is a timeless classic that makes any room unique, whether laid on the wall or, for the more daring, on the floor. Stone also decorates the outdoors

The Boost Icor collection has a strong vocation for the outdoors. It was specifically designed to furnish exteriors with the same elegance and sophistication as interiors. It’s a propensity evidenced by its special formats and novel outdoor decors.

The outdoor formats include four sizes with a 20 mm thickness (60 x 60, 60 x 120, 80 x 80, and 120 x 120 cm) and two formats with a 9 mm thickness and a Grip surface (30 x 60 and 60 x 120 cm) in the four lightest colours of the collection (Bone, Dust, Dune, and Oyster). The surfaces are made with Sensitech Technology.

For the first time, Boost Icor offers two modular mosaics with a 20 mm thickness (Pebble and Combo), dedicated exclusively to the outdoor world.

Pebble is a modern, playful version of Japanese step walkways. It’s ideal for terraces and verandas or for making a walkway laid dry on grass, sand, or gravel. It comes in all colors of the outdoor range and also in the 9 mm version. Combo is inspired by traditional natural stone walkways. It’s an outdoor decor consisting of two interlocking modules (which can also be used separately) available in all colors of the outdoor range.

The Boost Icor collection designed for outdoor use includes the Railway décor (also available for indoor applications) in a Grip version. The pattern of parallel lines at varying distances clads showers and saunas to perfection.
