To celebrate its 90th anniversary, Marazzi invited British designer Charlotte Taylor to create Under the Skin, an imagined house that explores the relationship between material, memory, and emotion. Through her poetic and architectural lens, Taylor reinterprets Marazzi’s ceramic collections as storytelling tools, transforming surfaces into narrative and spatial elements.

The project reflects Marazzi’s vision of human design, spaces shaped by and for the people who inhabit them. Taylor crafts interiors that feel both real and imagined, each room suggesting a gesture, a memory, a human presence. From the minimalist studio in Crogiolo ArtCraft Argilla to the living room anchored by a conversation pit in Vero Quercia, and a central table in Crogiolo Terramater Cotto, every surface becomes part of an intimate composition.
The kitchen balances tradition and modernity with black Crogiolo Lume tiles and soft limestone flooring in Mystone Limestone Sand, while the bedroom incorporates Crogiolo Terramater Cotto across the headboard, desk, and floor, a warm continuity that evokes calm and introspection.
In the bathroom, glossy green Crogiolo Lume tiles reflect light and water, creating a serene and tactile space. Outdoors, Mystone Travertino20 Navona extends from steps to benches, dissolving the boundary between architecture and nature, echoing the Mediterranean landscapes that inspired Taylor’s design.
For Taylor, this imagined home belongs to an architect or art collector, someone who lives surrounded by creative intent. “Spaces should adapt and grow through the people who inhabit them,” she says, framing design as a dialogue between structure and life.
Founded in 1935 in Sassuolo, Marazzi remains a global symbol of Italian ceramic excellence. Now part of Mohawk Industries, the brand continues to combine technology, sustainability, and design innovation, crafting surfaces that reflect the human experience.
