Cotto D'Este
Cotto D’Este was born in 1993 from
a business
idea
of Paolo Mussini, the company’s founder and current CEO, who decided to
create a new brand in a new and unexplored segment of the ceramics
sector: top-quality floor and wall tiles for the top-end and luxury
markets.
The idea was to create a company that was able to offer dream floor and
wall tiles whose great attention to detail, finishes and technical and
aesthetic quality would satisfy the taste and needs of more demanding
consumers.
The Cotto D’Este philosophy has always been to combine perfectly
aesthetics with top quality as well as an innate vocation for beauty and
it has always characterized the story of the company that over the years
has developed a continuously evolving path, gaining the position of
leader in the sector of top range floor and wall tiles.
One of the main success factors continues to be intense Research and
Development aimed at identifying constantly new production methods and
innovative product lines that are able to meet the needs of customers
who are increasingly demanding and sophisticated.
Cotto D’Este produces a top-quality type of floor and wall tile made of
glazed and body coloured porcelain stoneware that combines the aesthetic
appeal of handmade products and of the finest stone to be found in
nature anywhere in the world with the reliability and quality of modern
products obtained through the use of the most advanced production
technologies, which are always deployed in an environmentally
responsible manner. The imperfection of the edges, of the surface, the
irregularity of the contrasting shades of colour of the more rustic
products, the special and unique finishes such as “lapping” and
“veneer-glazing”, as well as the vast range of sizes that are available
up to the large 90x90cm and 60x120cm sizes in the more modern products,
are the guarantee of an original manufacturing technique that enables
unique products to be obtained that are suitable both for renovating old
buildings and for new residential, commercial and public buildings.
