Ultra-thin large-format Laminam ceramic slabs, one flexed like a sail on brass easels in a dark showroom, a Michelessi vision

Since 1976 — a Michelessi vision

Laminam,
the lightness of stoneware

Grand porcelain stoneware slabs just three millimetres thin: light, resistant, ready to dress walls, tables and tops. Crafted to measure in our workshop in Aprilia, Italy.

The thin slab — a Michelessi vision

Three millimetres,
a whole worktop

01 The large thin slab hangs from the suction cups above the steel table, in the window light: light as a sheet, hard as stone.

02 It settles, the lifter withdraws and the shadows of the stonemasons guide the bridge saw: the cut runs with a veil of water and light.

03 Out of the cut comes a kitchen worktop, with the sink opening and polished edges. Only the worktop remains on the table, in the falling dust.

LAMINAM · LARGE FORMAT · THREE MILLIMETRES

Design vision: a large ultra-thin porcelain slab lifted by mechanical suction arms in a dark laboratory

The mechanical arms raise the great slab and for a moment the laboratory holds its breath: three millimetres of porcelain stoneware in a giant format, so thin it flexes like a sail. This vision from our design studio tells the paradox of Laminam: extreme lightness in the service of surfaces that fear nothing. From lifting to laying, every gesture is measured to the millimetre — your three, to be exact.

Technical materials

Three millimetres
of infinite possibility

Laminam is the revolutionary material of large, thin slabs: porcelain stoneware produced with latest-generation technology and high-precision machinery, in thicknesses starting from just three millimetres. A lightness that sets the project free: the slabs dress flat and vertical surfaces — walls, tables, kitchen and bathroom tops — and thanks to their technical qualities they lend themselves to almost every use and every idea.

Slimness takes nothing away from substance: Laminam withstands heat and frost, scratches, corrosion and mechanical stress, indoors and out. And it comes in a wealth of textures, able to emulate the most precious marbles to perfection — a Calacatta, a Roman travertine — as well as industrial matter such as iron and grey stone: twenty-five surfaces, recounted one by one in this page.

In the Michelessi workshop in Aprilia, Laminam slabs are cut and finished to measure with the delicacy a thin surface demands: Italian craftsmanship, refined since 1976 in the working of marble, placed at the service of contemporary technical materials. Clean edges, considered joints, aligned patterns: precision makes the difference, above all when the material is as thin as a sheet of paper.

Calce Grigio

Laminam Calce Grigio, plaster of gentle light

It could be the wall of a Mediterranean house at the quietest hour of the afternoon: Laminam Calce Grigio spreads across the slab a pale lime plaster, stirred by imperceptible clouds that hold the light and return it softened. No impatient pattern: only the breath of matter laid on by hand, shadow after shadow. This serenity travels on an astonishing support: a porcelain stoneware slab starting from just three millimetres thick, light and incredibly strong, produced with the latest generation of technology. It resists heat, frost, scratches and mechanical stress: you can carry it across an entire wall, onto a kitchen or bathroom top, onto a table, wherever the project asks for continuity and cleanliness. In the Michelessi workshop we cut Laminam to measure with the delicacy a thin slab demands: marble-honed hands, handcrafted in Italy, at the service of technical materials. The lime of another age, without the time that wears it away.

Filo Pece

Laminam Filo Pece, a weave dark as night silk

Look at it askance and its mood changes: Laminam Filo Pece is a fine weave, dense as a technical fabric, steeped in a pitch black that catches the light and kindles glints of steel. The surface has the discipline of a dark tailored suit: from afar a single colour, up close an interlacing of minute threads that vibrates with every passage of light. It is nocturnal elegance in its most modern form. The slab is porcelain stoneware of the latest generation, with thicknesses starting from three millimetres: featherlight yet resistant to heat, frost, scratches and mechanical stress. Perfect for cladding walls, kitchen and bathroom tops, tables and vertical surfaces that want depth without weight. At Michelessi we work it to measure with clean cuts and precise edges: the hand is that of artisans raised at the marble bench. If your project dresses for the evening, Filo Pece is its cloth.

Cemento Grigio Bocciardato

Laminam Cemento Grigio Bocciardato, living urban matter

The surface carries the marks of the gesture: Laminam Cemento Grigio Bocciardato tells of a worked stone, scored by horizontal passes of the float, lightenings and shadows alternating as on a wall cast in place. It is the aesthetic of the noble building site, the one architects love to leave exposed, translated into a precise, dependable slab of porcelain stoneware. The thickness starts from three millimetres: a lightness that allows entire walls, worktops, vertical and horizontal surfaces to be clad almost without weight, with the resistance to heat, frost, scratches and mechanical stress that daily life demands. Industrial character lives here with absolute practicality. In the Michelessi workshop every slab is cut to measure and installed with the care of made in Italy marble craft, applied to contemporary technical materials. The grey stone of urban dreams, without dust and without waiting. And thanks to the lightness of the slab, renovations too find a precious ally, with swift, clean installation.

Blend Nero

Laminam Blend Nero, depths of shadow and iron

The dark here has many rooms: Laminam Blend Nero is a deep anthracite stirred by blue and grey cloudings that surface slowly, like shadows in a night photograph that rewards a long gaze. The surface is never flat: every zone has a different density, a mineral vibration recalling old slate blackboards and burnished metals. This depth inhabits a porcelain stoneware slab of the latest generation: thicknesses from three millimetres, surprising lightness, resistance to heat, frost, scratches and mechanical stress. Imagine it on a wall that becomes a stage backdrop, on a kitchen top that fears nothing, on a table that gathers people. At Michelessi we cut it to measure with an artisan attention refined over years of marble work: dark surfaces, we learned, demand perfect edges. Blend Nero is an elegant shadow: give it a light and it will repay you.

Filo Argento

Laminam Filo Argento, metal woven by hand

There is a moment when the light crosses the room and this surface captures it: Laminam Filo Argento is an ultra-fine silver weave, a mineral fabric that shimmers with satin glints like a technical silk. Its shades run from pearl grey to platinum, following the angle of the gaze: the slab is never identical to itself, and that is its enchantment. Beneath the textile appearance works the latest generation of porcelain stoneware: thicknesses from three millimetres, minimal weight, maximum resistance to heat, frost, scratches and mechanical stress. Ideal for walls that must shine without mirroring, bathroom and kitchen tops, refined furnishing surfaces. In the Michelessi workshop we cut Filo Argento to measure with the precision of Italian craftsmanship: the same hand that has polished marble for generations now guides these slabs thin as sheets of paper. The material also withstands corrosion, so the shimmer stays intact over the years. If you seek a light that does not dazzle but caresses, you have just found it.

Blend Avorio

Laminam Blend Avorio, a slender mineral cream

A warm ivory, faintly stirred by tonal variations that recall handmade paper: Laminam Blend Avorio is discretion made slab. From afar it is a single, serene colour; up close it reveals the finest grain, minimal clouds, a mineral dust that keeps the surface alive without ever distracting it. It is the ideal backdrop for rooms that seek warmth without colour: luminous kitchens, soft bathrooms, walls that accompany. The technology is that of the great Laminam porcelain stoneware slabs: thicknesses from three millimetres, a lightness that simplifies every installation, resistance to heat, frost, scratches and mechanical stress. Everyday beauty, without anxious upkeep. At Michelessi every slab is sectioned to measure and finished with a sensitivity matured over years at the marble bench: edges, corners and joints to the millimetre. Consider it too for tables and furnishing surfaces, where its discreet grain accompanies every style without ever tiring. Blend Avorio does not ask for attention: it deserves it.

Cemento Avorio Bocciardato

Laminam Cemento Avorio Bocciardato, sand and gesture

Pass your gaze across it as you would pass your hand: Laminam Cemento Avorio Bocciardato is a sandy beige traversed by horizontal traces, lightenings and gatherings that tell of the gesture of someone spreading the material, combing it, letting it breathe. It is mineral grey in its most solar, Mediterranean version, able to warm contemporary interiors without giving up character. The slab is porcelain stoneware of the latest generation: thicknesses from three millimetres, grand formats, surprising lightness and resistance to heat, frost, scratches and mechanical stress. Ideal for cladding walls, kitchen and bathroom tops, flat and vertical surfaces where the continuity of the pattern makes the difference. In the Michelessi workshop we cut every slab to measure, aligning the weave with the care of marble handcrafted in Italy, carried onto technical surfaces. The material shrugs off frost, sudden shifts and corrosion, indoors and out. A stone the colour of warm bread: hard not to feel at home.

Fokos Piombo

Laminam Fokos Piombo, the elegant gravity of metal

Lead is a colour that weighs in exactly the right way: Laminam Fokos Piombo lays across the slab a deep grey-brown, stirred by mineral lightenings and shadows that chase one another as on a wet stone slowly drying. The surface has a calm, urban gravity, perfect for rooms that want substance: kitchens of decided character, enveloping bathrooms, walls that anchor the eye. The material is thin-slab porcelain stoneware, with thicknesses starting from three millimetres: lightness during installation, resistance in service — heat, frost, scratches and mechanical stress leave no trace. A surface that works in silence, for years. At Michelessi we shape it to measure with calibrated cuts and careful edges: the marble workshop's discipline applied to contemporary technical surfaces. The great size of the slabs reduces the joints and grants absolute visual continuity, while the compact surface makes cleaning a swift, carefree gesture. Fokos Piombo gives weight to light ideas: rest them here.

Calce Nero

Laminam Calce Nero, a slate of soft shadows

It is the gentle dark of a freshly wiped blackboard: Laminam Calce Nero unites the depth of anthracite with the softness of lime plaster, cloudings that lighten and darken the surface like breathing. No mirror gloss: here the light is welcomed, held, given back in a low voice. It is the ideal surface for those who love gathered rooms, walls that embrace, kitchens where black is not a pose but a warmth. The support is the Laminam porcelain stoneware slab: thicknesses from three millimetres, grand dimensions, resistance to heat, frost, scratches and mechanical stress. The poetry of ancient plaster, the practicality of technical ceramics. In the Michelessi workshop we cut Calce Nero to measure for walls, tops and furnishing surfaces, with the patient hand of made in Italy stone craft. Set it beside natural woods and warm brasses: the contrast lends it an even greater depth. Write your story on this slate: it will not be erased.

Calacatta Michelangelo

Laminam Calacatta Michelangelo, marble by way of gres

The name invokes the master and the slab does not betray him: Laminam Calacatta Michelangelo Lucidato brings to porcelain stoneware the drawing of the most precious Calacatta marbles, grey and gold veins crossing a luminous white with the naturalness of the great Apuan stones. The polished finish amplifies the depth: light enters the surface, runs along the veins, reveals their gilded shading. As its own page declares, this slab emulates the noblest marbles to perfection: yet it weighs almost nothing, starts from three millimetres of thickness and resists heat, frost, scratches and corrosion. The dream of Calacatta, without its fragilities. In the Michelessi workshop we treat it with the respect the originals deserve: cuts oriented on the veining, studied joints, perfect edges. It is the bespoke art of the marble atelier, which recognises a worthy heir when it meets one. Michelangelo, forgive us: this too is sculpture.

Cemento Nero Bocciardato

Laminam Cemento Nero Bocciardato, industrial night

It could be the wall of an old mill photographed at midnight: Laminam Cemento Nero Bocciardato is a smoke black crossed by horizontal striations, lightenings of wear, dense shadows alternating as on stone marked by labour and the years. It is industrial charm in its most theatrical version: a surface that carries a history, ready to serve as backdrop to kitchens of character, scenographic walls, bathrooms with a metropolitan heart. The slab is porcelain stoneware of the latest generation: thicknesses from three millimetres, generous formats, resistance to heat, frost, scratches and mechanical stress. All the soul of the building site, none of its flaws. At Michelessi we cut it to measure with the precision of Italian craftsmanship: our school is the marble workshop, where every edge tells of the hand that finished it. The lightness of the slab allows even doors and furnishings to be clad, multiplying the possibilities. If your home has an urban soul, this is its most beautiful night.

Fokos Rena

Laminam Fokos Rena, the colour of dunes at dawn

There is sand just touched by the first sun in this surface: Laminam Fokos Rena is a warm mineral beige, crossed by subtle variations that recall firm sand after the tide, when the wind begins to draw upon it. The colour is full yet never uniform: every zone breathes, lightens, gathers, granting the slab a naturalness that flat colours will never know. The support is Laminam porcelain stoneware: thicknesses from three millimetres, a lightness that frees the project, resistance to heat, frost, scratches and mechanical stress. Perfect for floors and walls that seek discreet warmth, for kitchen and bathroom tops that labour every day. In the Michelessi workshop every slab is sectioned to measure with the same devotion we bring to marble, carried onto technical surfaces. Outdoors too the colour stays faithful, season after season. Fokos Rena is a beach that never ends: make yourselves at home.

Filo Ghisa

Laminam Filo Ghisa, a weave of iron and light

Cast iron has an ancient nobility, and this slab dresses it in modernity: Laminam Filo Ghisa interlaces the finest mineral threads in an iron-grey weave that captures the light and releases it in controlled, never intrusive glints. The surface has the discipline of a technical fabric and the depth of a metal that has lived: it changes with the hour of the day, warms under artificial light, grows quiet under natural. It is porcelain stoneware of the latest generation: thicknesses from three millimetres, grand formats, resistance to heat, frost, scratches and corrosion. Ideal for cladding walls, tops and furnishing surfaces that seek a metallic character without coldness. At Michelessi we work it to measure, with clean cuts and calibrated pairings: hands handcrafted in Italy on marble know how to treat surfaces that vibrate. The great slabs reduce the joints and let the weave run uninterrupted. Filo Ghisa is iron that has learned elegance: it will never go back.

Calce Avorio

Laminam Calce Avorio, the pale breath of plaster

Some walls seem made of solidified light: Laminam Calce Avorio is an ivory white laid on like an ancient plaster, with imperceptible veils that stir the surface without ever truly drawing upon it. It is the colour of the lime houses of the south, of walls that reflect the sun with sweetness, of rooms where time slows. This Mediterranean poetry travels on a porcelain stoneware slab of the latest generation: thicknesses from three millimetres, a lightness that allows entire walls to be clad without burdening them, resistance to heat, frost, scratches and mechanical stress. The beauty of plaster, without cracks or retouching. In the Michelessi workshop we cut Calce Avorio to measure for walls, tops and continuous surfaces, with the light hand of artisans schooled on marble. The surface welcomes morning light and lamplight with the same grace, changing mood with discretion. If you dream of a house that breathes brightness, begin here.

Blend Grigio

Laminam Blend Grigio, fine rain over stone

It looks like stone seen through fine rain: Laminam Blend Grigio is a mid grey animated by dense, irregular speckling, gatherings and lightenings that give the surface the breath of natural matter. There is no monotony in this colour: there is the quiet stirring of a thousand mineral shades that merge at a distance into a single, balanced, effortlessly liveable tone. The slab is Laminam porcelain stoneware: thicknesses from three millimetres, ample formats, resistance to heat, frost, scratches and mechanical stress. It is the surface that never misses: floors, walls, kitchen and bathroom tops, tables, indoors and out. At Michelessi every cut is born to measure, with the made in Italy precision of the marble bench: because even the calmest grey deserves impeccable edges. On floors too the result is flawless, with a continuity that visually widens every room. Blend Grigio is the basso continuo of your home: above it, you may play any melody.

Filo Brina

Laminam Filo Brina, the first chill of morning

There is that winter moment when the light arrives before the sun and everything is white and suspended: Laminam Filo Brina holds it forever. The slab is a purest ice white, crossed by a satin vibration felt more than seen, like the veil of frost on a windowpane at dawn. The surface is quiet, luminous, almost immaterial: perfect for rooms that seek absolute lightness, walls that dilate space, bathrooms that seem to breathe. The body is porcelain stoneware of the latest generation: thicknesses from three millimetres, minimal weight, resistance to heat, frost, scratches and mechanical stress. The delicacy is only appearance. In the Michelessi workshop we cut it to measure with an artisan care refined over years of marble work, which taught us to handle light as well as matter. Set beside pale woods and glass, it multiplies the sense of space and grants breath even to the smallest rooms. Filo Brina is dawn become surface: open the door to it.

Filo Mercurio

Laminam Filo Mercurio, glints of metallic sky

Mercury is the only metal that flows, and this surface has inherited its soul: Laminam Filo Mercurio is a deep blue-grey traversed by the finest textile weave, which under the light kindles moving glints like a sheet of water at dusk. The colour lives between metal and the night sky: it changes with the angle of the gaze, turns more blue, more silver, more shadow. It is the choice of those who want a living surface, never the same twice. The slab is Laminam porcelain stoneware of the latest generation: thicknesses from three millimetres, great lightness, resistance to heat, frost, scratches and corrosion. Ideal for accent walls, refined tops, furnishing surfaces that deserve a precious touch. At Michelessi we work it to measure with the sensitivity of Italian craftsmanship raised on marble: materials that vibrate demand steady hands. Try it beside a source of raking light: that is where it gives its best. Mercury flows: hold it still in your home.

Filo Oro

Laminam Filo Oro, light woven into a slab

Gold, when it is true style, does not shout: it whispers. Laminam Filo Oro interlaces mineral threads in an ultra-fine weave the colour of gilded sand, which under the light kindles warm, satin glints, like a precious fabric stretched across a wall. This is not the gold of gilding: it is the gold of late-summer light, a gentle glow that warms a room without ever weighing on it. The surface vibrates with every change of illumination and turns a wall, a top, a piece of furniture into a permanent point of light. The body is porcelain stoneware of the latest generation: thicknesses from three millimetres, surprising lightness, resistance to heat, frost, scratches and mechanical stress. In the Michelessi workshop we cut Filo Oro to measure with the hand of the marble atelier: precious materials, we learned long ago, demand absolute precision. A few square metres are enough to change the tone of an entire room, from the living room to the bath. If your home deserves a discreet jewel, here it is, woven.

Calce Tortora

Laminam Calce Tortora, the caress of a neutral

Dove grey is the most diplomatic of colours: it agrees with everyone and never tires. Laminam Calce Tortora interprets it with the softness of lime plaster, delicate cloudings rising and falling across the surface like breath on glass. The result is a slab of discreet warmth, able to accompany pale and dark woods, optical whites and deep blacks, without ever losing its own low voice. The technology is that of the great Laminam porcelain stoneware slabs: thicknesses from three millimetres, lightness during installation, resistance to heat, frost, scratches and mechanical stress. From the living-room wall to the bathroom top, continuity is its elegance. At Michelessi every slab is cut to measure with the patience of marble handcrafted in Italy: gentle surfaces deserve the same seriousness as spectacular ones. Calce Tortora never raises its voice: which is why you will listen to it for a long time.

Fokos Terra

Laminam Fokos Terra, the brown warmth of matter

Put your hands into good earth after the rain: this is the colour that comes out. Laminam Fokos Terra is a warm, deep brown, stirred by mineral gatherings and lightenings that give the slab the breath of living matter. It is a colour that speaks of clay, of leather, of burnt wood: it carries an ancestral warmth into contemporary interiors, and sits magnificently beside brass, natural fabrics and botanical green. The surface is porcelain stoneware of the latest generation: thicknesses from three millimetres, grand formats, resistance to heat, frost, scratches and mechanical stress. From the kitchen top to the living-room wall, practicality takes nothing from atmosphere. In the Michelessi workshop we cut Fokos Terra to measure with the care of the marble school, applied to technical surfaces. The compact surface does not fear daily life and keeps its warmth even in the most lived-in rooms. Earth, at last, without dust on your hands.

Calce Antracite

Laminam Calce Antracite, shadow dressed in softness

Anthracite can be severe or enveloping: it depends on who dresses it. Laminam Calce Antracite chooses the second road and softens the dark grey with the hand of lime plaster: veils, breaths, shadings that make the surface as warm as an autumn evening in a beloved room. The slab has the depth of dark tones without their hardness: perfect for walls that embrace, intimate kitchens, bathrooms of gathered character. The support is Laminam porcelain stoneware of the latest generation: thicknesses from three millimetres, a lightness that simplifies every project, resistance to heat, frost, scratches and mechanical stress. Dark elegance, without a care. At Michelessi we work it to measure with made in Italy precision: marble taught us that shadows, to be beautiful, must be perfect. Across the great dimensions of the slabs the colour runs continuous, with no joints to interrupt its breath, and the room gains in depth. Calce Antracite is the right shadow: switch on a lamp and watch it live.

Calce Bianco

Laminam Calce Bianco, light laid on by hand

There is a white that is not a colour but a state of the spirit: the lime houses have known it for centuries. Laminam Calce Bianco brings it to the slab with the lightest veils, shadows of white within the white, like a freshly plastered wall drying in the sun. The surface is warm, material, alive: nothing to do with industrial whites, everything to do with true light. It is the ideal choice for rooms that want to breathe: continuous walls, luminous bathrooms, kitchens where the day enters and stays. The body is porcelain stoneware of the latest generation: thicknesses from three millimetres, great lightness, resistance to heat, frost, scratches and mechanical stress. In the Michelessi workshop we cut Calce Bianco to measure with the hand of artisans who for generations have worked marble and know that white is the most difficult material of all. Here, it has succeeded.

Nero Assoluto

Laminam Nero Assoluto, the deepest silence

There is a point where colour ends and presence begins: Laminam Collection Nero Assoluto stands exactly there. The slab is a total, uniform black, without veins or reflections to distract: a visual silence that absorbs the light and gives back pure depth. It is the black of grand pianos, of camera lenses, of nights far from any city: in an interior it becomes a gesture of absolute character, able to give weight to a kitchen island, drama to a wall, rigour to a bathroom. The support is porcelain stoneware of the latest generation: thicknesses from three millimetres, surprising lightness, resistance to heat, frost, scratches and corrosion. The most demanding black, made simple. At Michelessi we cut it to measure with the millimetric precision of Italian craftsmanship: on an absolute surface every edge shows, and our school is the marble workshop. Nero Assoluto is not a colour: it is a declaration.

Fokos Roccia

Laminam Fokos Roccia, the mountain in a slab

All the patience of the mountain lives in this surface: Laminam Fokos Roccia is a grey-brown traversed by mineral gatherings, lightenings and micro-shadows that tell of living rock, the kind hands recognise at first touch. The colour is deep without being gloomy: it stands between wet stone and beaten earth, and brings into an interior a rootedness that smooth materials will never know. The slab is Laminam porcelain stoneware: thicknesses from three millimetres, generous formats, resistance to heat, frost, scratches and mechanical stress. Ideal for floors and walls of natural character, kitchen tops that work in earnest, spaces indoors and out. In the Michelessi workshop every slab is sectioned to measure by hands that learned from marble to listen to stone, even when it was born in a factory. Fokos Roccia is the mountain come down to the valley: make room for it.

Fokos Sale

Laminam Fokos Sale, glow of stone and salt flats

Salt has a colour that is neither white nor grey: it is gathered light. Laminam Fokos Sale spreads it across the slab in the palest greige, stirred by mineral variations as subtle as the ripples of a salt flat at sunset. The surface is quiet and alive at once: from afar a perfect neutral tone, up close a dust of shades that spares it all monotony. It is the ideal companion of projects at once Nordic and Mediterranean: pale floors, walls that widen the space, kitchen and bathroom tops that want easy light. The body is porcelain stoneware of the latest generation: thicknesses from three millimetres, lightness during installation, resistance to heat, frost, scratches and mechanical stress. At Michelessi we cut it to measure with the devotion of marble handcrafted in Italy, placed at the service of the most delicate technical surfaces.
