Launching at Clerkenwell Design Week at the RAK Ceramics Design Hub, Sassi Borgogna is a surface that brings together heritage inspiration and contemporary ceramic design in a collection that reflects both architectural memory and modern interior elegance.

Drawing from the extraordinary landscape of the Sassi di Matera, a UNESCO World Heritage site renowned for its ancient cave dwellings continuously inhabited since the Paleolithic era, the collection pays tribute to one of the world’s most remarkable examples of lived-in history. The natural beauty of Matera, shaped over centuries from soft calcarenite stone carved by water and wind, informs the character of the design, capturing a sense of time, texture and authenticity.

I Sassi Borgogna translates this heritage into a refined ceramic surface that balances material depth with design clarity. Developed alongside I Sassi Matera, the Borgogna variation forms part of a wider design language where both collections share a unified background, ensuring a seamless visual connection and a perfectly coordinated palette. The Borgogna surface becomes the foundation upon which the Matera design evolves, with decorative flakes layered to create subtle movement and natural variation, offering a finish that feels both structured and organic.

Available in greige, ivory, light grey and sand, the collection delivers a versatile colour story designed to suit a wide range of interior schemes. Offered in 90x180cm, 120x120cm and 60x120cm formats, it provides flexibility for both residential and commercial applications, allowing designers and architects to create continuous surfaces with a strong sense of flow and material consistency.

With its combination of historical reference and contemporary execution, I Sassi Borgogna reflects RAK Ceramics’ ongoing commitment to design-led innovation, where storytelling, surface technology and aesthetic harmony come together to create enduring architectural solutions.
