On the cover:

A natural evolution from mosaics to large surface coverings, Sicis’ in-house R&D and creative teams, through intensive research, have developed the large-format collection, Vetrite. Sicis Art Factory meticulously mixes technology and alchemy with artisanship in this collection, which finds a precise intuition, creating a truly avant-garde aesthetic. Glass, an intrinsic material in the DNA of Sicis, is revolutionized, whereby Sicis iconic fabrics are sandwiched with polymer film between large-format glass slabs. These unprecedented thin glass slabs are available up to 120 x 280 cm (47 x 71 inches), in either 6 or 12 mm thicknesses. Vetrite provides the freedom to think about cladding without any kind of constraints in style, and is suitable for an infinite range of applications, including furniture, countertops, doors and lighting.

ON THE COVER

With the demand for quartz surfacing continuing to grow, Tab India made the decision to open a new factory for TabQuartz in South India at the start of 2018. The company has dedicated time to designing and developing a technology which has resulted in the evolu- tion of normal quartz slabs to a “New Age” quartz, which uses very high-quality quartz and specialty resins suitable only for production of low VOC quartz — ensuring very low-resin inside the slabs, pressed on a highly efficient and strong vibro-vacuum press.
