Ceramics with soul: How 3D finishes are redefining interior design

Ceramic has ceased to be a functional material and has become a key feature of interior design. Thanks to three-dimensional technologies and hyper-realistic finishes, collections such as Venatto enhance noble materials such as wood, providing warmth, style and durability.

Why is ceramics key to modern interior design? In the era of emotional design, creating spaces that feel, not just look, is essential. Ceramics, with its new technical possibilities, becomes the perfect ally to achieve this.

• 3D finishes that accurately mimic natural materials such as oak.
• Tactile surfaces that capture light and add depth and texture.
• High durability and low maintenance, without compromising on aesthetics.

Today, ceramics are not just decorative: they tell stories, connect with nature and transform any space into a place with soul.

Venatto by SALONI: ceramic wood with history and character

One of the collections that embodies this revolution is VENATTO. Inspired by the oak trees of the Venetian forests, this series evokes the craftsmanship of generations, with the precision and resistance that only ceramics can offer.

Key features of Venatto:

• Natural inspiration: Venetian oak, with pronounced grain and a brushed finish.
• Cosy aesthetic: ideal for living rooms, bedrooms and commercial spaces with a warm feel.
• Advanced technology: high-resolution digital printing and realistic reliefs.
• Superior durability: resistant to moisture, stains and foot traffic.

Ceramic finishes: design, functionality and emotion

What do three-dimensional finishes bring to interior design?

• Visual and tactile realism: textures can be felt when walking and change depending on the light.
• Aesthetic versatility: from Nordic to rustic or minimalist styles.
• Emotional connection: materials that evoke nature, calm and authenticity.

These types of finishes allow ceramics to move away from being cold or impersonal and become an element with visual depth and emotional warmth, ideal for creating enveloping environments.
