New neutrals from Atlas Concorde x Elisa Ossino

In an ongoing dialogue with the design world, Atlas Concorde collaborates with Elisa Ossino, a Sicilian-born architect and interior designer whose research combines attention to the naturalness of materials, the craftsmanship of workmanship, and a modernist sign inspired by a strive for formal simplicity. In short, Elisa Ossino and Atlas Concorde share a passion for product development and the material quality of surfaces.

The Boost Expression collection, designed by Elisa Ossino, highlights the tonal variations and material qualities of surfaces, giving each texture an appearance that refers to ever-changing formal suggestions. The new line of wall coverings and decors has a strong three-dimensional impact and is distinguished by geometric and dynamic patterns that generate contrasts and vibrations of light. The modern and sophisticated features go beyond simple decoration, offering a contemporary and elegant design solution.

Boost Expression fits into Boost World — Atlas Concorde’s project dedicated to surfaces that share a natural elegance, neutral tones and an essential, contemporary style — expanding its research on material realism, colour and decorative range.

The colour range, created by Elisa, meets the most modern trends in architecture and design through ten nuances that, with their different tones, allow for the creation of warm and contemporary environments.

With Glow, Boost Expression proposes a new warm white — a transversal shade that can be used as a base for any environment and project and that matches all the colours in the collection. Shell, Camel and Tan are warm shades of increasing intensity, responding to an audience increasingly interested in soft, welcoming tones. Ice and Haze are variations of timeless greys suitable for any use; Carbon, on the other hand, defines a desaturated, modern and contemporary black.

Among the colours chosen by Elisa Ossino are also three shades intended for wall coverings: Olive, Sienna and Cyan, warm and characterful shades to be coordinated with neutral floor proposals to create unique and personalised spaces.

The beating heart of Boost Expression is the wall coverings, for which Atlas Concorde and Elisa Ossino have created as many as six different proposals, including six wall coverings, one large-format decoration, and two mosaics. Added to these is a decoration, Life, designed by Atlas Concorde laboratories.

The 50x120mm Matte floor tile — in the three neutral tones of Ice, Glow and Shell — is a good match for any floor; in the Olive, Sienna or Cyan version, it is the perfect solution to give a marked touch of colour to any room. On the other hand, the Grain patterned wall covering features a delicate and elegant three-dimensional texture that recalls the naturalness of outdoor spaces, providing a textural and natural contrast in any combination.

The Life decoration, designed by Atlas Concorde Laboratories, renews the theme of naturalness by transforming the design of a leaf into a play of reflections and shadows; a proposal that responds to a specific need of the market and is declined in three shades: Shell, Sienna and Olive.

3D Loop decoration, as the name itself evokes, has a three-dimensional structure that reinterprets the theme of the circle, a recurring iconic form in Elisa Ossino’s architectural language. The repetition of the circles creates a sophisticated and contemporary pattern, softened by the naturalness of the colours and the materiality of the line.

3D Flute, on the other hand, takes the trend of striped and cannulated decoration and reinterprets it, declining it in three colours: Ice, Glow and Shell. The surface from rigorous becomes soft and the simple vertical lines become unique thanks to the curved relief and bush-hammered texture.

Duo, a large slab decoration (120x278mm), designed for wall application. Through the combination of two different tones from the collection (Haze and Ice and Glow and Camel), Duo plays with delicate colour contrasts, renewing the boiserie theme.

Elisa Ossino, additionally, designs two decors exploiting the mosaic theme, thus creating a dialogue between shapes and surfaces:

– Mosaico Ellipse, a porcelain stoneware mosaic that uses the classic and harmonious shape of an elongated ellipse, randomly cut and recomposed, the materiality of the product gives interesting changes to wall surfaces, creating a delicate movement of texture and colour.

– Mosaic Circle , a porcelain mosaic that takes up the theme of the circle providing a valuable alternative for lovers of this geometric shape. Thanks to the even more marked variation in texture and the combination with stucco, Mosaic Circle creates an intricate pattern of material and colour with the seven shades in which it is declined: Ice, Haze, Carbon, Glow, Shell, Camel, and Tan.

Both Mosaic Ellipse and Mosaic Circle allow the wall to be customized through the choice of grout colour during the installation phase.

Atlas Concorde and Elisa Ossino have worked to innovate every single material in the collection, which is intended for both indoor and outdoor space furnishings, thanks to Atlas Concorde’s patented Sensitech technology (European patent), which, owing to its non-slip properties, guarantees a high level of safety thus making the surface easier to clean than those made with traditional methods.

Boost Expression brings to the market a new format for the Modena-based company (80×80). The surface is extremely textural, realistic and natural and it reproduces irregularities and characteristics of the original material to the touch. Sensitech technology preserves the soft effect and ease of cleaning, while ensuring a high anti-slip performance.

Outdoor solutions are characterised by a more distinctive surface and graphics, as well as elevated anti-slip performance (R11C). In the Outdoor Sensitech 20mm finish (also available in the new 80×80 format the surfaces are offered in a wide selection of colours and formats.

In addition to presenting a wide decorative range, Boost Expression stands out for its sought-after range of wall coverings, the high non-slip performance of its outdoor solutions, and the new 80×80 size. It also offers a wide variety of formats (from 30×60 to the large 120×278 porcelain stoneware format, which join the dedicated 50×120 wall application formats).

Finally, Boost Expression fits into the Modenese company’s Ecosystem, integrating with the Atlas Concorde, Atlas Plan, and Atlas Concorde Habitat ranges.
