Nobu – Italian Stone-Effect Tiles for Contemporary Living

Nature-Inspired Elegance

The FAP Ceramiche Nobu collection captures the authentic beauty of nature, translating it into a versatile range of stone-look tiles that combine timeless elegance with cutting-edge Italian craftsmanship. With tactile, subtly wavy surfaces and a rich depth of colour, Nobu brings a serene and sophisticated aesthetic to any space — from modern apartments and penthouses to boutique hotels, restaurants, and showrooms.

Made in Italy, Nobu reflects FAP Ceramiche’s tradition of multi-sensory design — harmonising natural inspiration with contemporary style. Its porcelain stoneware flooring and ceramic wall tiles are crafted for lasting performance, offering exceptional stain resistance, frost resistance, fire resistance, and easy maintenance.

This eco-friendly range guarantees maximum hygiene, low water absorption, and superior slip resistance (Matt R9/R10), making it equally suitable for residential and medium-traffic commercial spaces (such as restaurants, bars, shops, hotels, libraries, business lounges, and banks).
