方寸之間：閱讀陶瓷構築的美學世界
Within the Square: A World of Aesthetics Shaped by Ceramic Surfaces
方寸之間，如何閱讀？當磁磚脫離了質地、圖樣與防污抗刮的基礎角力，凝視陶瓷表面的視線只會更加深邃。彷彿能自裁切比例中提取古羅馬建築的黃金比例，亦或是品鑑波提切利筆下的柔美與詩意。ABK 將義大利磁磚視為當代空間的畫布，乘載歷史文化、時尚設計領域的足跡與靈光，將材料的深度乃至創意的跨度盡皆吸納其中，並轉化為形塑空間的語彙。
How do we read a surface? What remains when ceramic tiles are no longer judged by texture, pattern, or technical performance alone? Our gaze inevitably lingers longer. Within the measured proportions of each cut, one might discern the enduring harmony of ancient Roman architecture, or the quiet lyricism of Botticelli’s paintings. For ABK, Italian ceramics are conceived as canvases for contemporary space—surfaces that carry the traces of history alongside the spark of fashion and design, absorbing the depth of material culture and the breadth of creative expression before transforming them into an architectural language of their own.

人類對美的覺知始於有意識的觀看，而義大利人對美學的追求更可追溯至文藝復興時期，早已深入骨髓並沉浸於日常。如萃取一杯 espresso 般苛求精準比例，從一扇窗景、一張餐椅、一方花體字餐巾，聚焦至背景裡的一塊磁磚，都能感受到「藝術」的存在。而跨界，也自然成為義大利陶瓷品牌 ABK 探索材料與空間美學的入口。
Humanity’s awareness of beauty begins with conscious observation. In Italy, that pursuit can be traced back to the Renaissance, where an enduring aesthetic sensibility became woven into everyday life. Like the precise extraction of an espresso, proportion is treated with uncompromising care. From the framing of a window and the silhouette of a dining chair to the typography on a linen napkin—or even the ceramic surface receding quietly into the background—art is never far from view. It is within this cultural landscape that cross-disciplinary collaboration has naturally become ABK’s gateway to exploring materiality and spatial aesthetics.
與 Paola Navone 的合作，是一系列大膽且充滿熱情的材料實驗。將旅途中的感性文化體驗與手工觸覺記憶，轉譯為富有生命力的陶瓷創作，猶如以材質與色彩寫詩，為空間賦予更生動的表情與細膩的情感層次。而與 Versace Ceramics 合作多年、做為全球唯一指定製造夥伴的默契，更是 ABK 精湛工藝的佐證，精準掌握華美繁複的時尚元素，進入當代建築與室內生活語境，不僅止於經典符號的復刻，更展現了義式奢華美學的訂製功底。
Its collaboration with Paola Navone unfolds as a series of bold and deeply intuitive material experiments. Memories gathered through travel, tactile craftsmanship and cultural encounters are translated into ceramic surfaces rich with vitality—compositions that write poetry through colour and texture, lending spaces a more expressive character and emotional resonance. Equally significant is ABK’s long-standing partnership with Versace Ceramics as its exclusive global manufacturing partner. More than a demonstration of technical mastery, the collaboration reinterprets the maison’s richly ornamental visual language within contemporary architecture and interior design, moving beyond the reproduction of iconic motifs to reveal the refined craftsmanship of Italian luxury aesthetics.
不斷挑戰美感邊界的 Moooi，成為拓展 ABK 設計版塊的重要一步，以充滿想像力與戲劇性的神話鳥類，為當代生活繪製溫暖鳥巢的概念圖騰。其跳脫框架、對突破性的追求與 ABK 理念一致。透過栩栩如生的細節描繪、自然色彩的細膩演繹，讓磁磚成為自生活昇華而來的藝術。當陽光灑落，每一道審視空間的目光都是新的。
Continuously challenging the boundaries of aesthetic experience, Moooi marks another important chapter in the expansion of ABK’s design landscape. Through imaginative, theatrical mythological birds, the collaboration imagines the nest as a contemporary symbol of warmth and belonging. Its instinct to defy convention and pursue new creative possibilities resonates closely with ABK’s own philosophy. Rendered through remarkably lifelike detailing and nuanced natural palettes, ceramic surfaces transcend their functional role, becoming artistic expressions elevated from everyday life. As daylight moves across them, each glance cast upon the space becomes an entirely new experience.
