The first Gardenia&Ariana catalog clearly expresses the brand’s founding values of elegance, quality, balance, and harmony through a wide and versatile range of products designed to complement different architectural styles. The core target is the mid-to-high-end residential market, with a particular focus on the bathroom, conceived as a space of well-being, comfort, and aesthetic identity. The new website also showcases the full potential of this range.

Gardenia&Ariana is an integral part of ABK Group and benefits from the Group’s industrial expertise and ongoing investment in technological innovation.

The merger represents a natural strategic evolution following two major acquisitions. In 2020, ABK Group acquired 100% of the share capital of Ceramiche Gardenia Orchidea S.p.A., a historic Italian tile manufacturer founded in 1961, while further strengthening its portfolio with the Versace Ceramics license. The Ariana brand, which joined ABK Group in 2000, originally started out as a wall tile specialist before embarking on a significant development path that led to its 2022 merger with the French company Desvres (also part of the Group) to create a new identity with a strong focus on outdoor spaces.

Founded in 1992 in the province of Modena, ABK Group Industrie Ceramiche S.p.A. is a leading manufacturer and distributor of porcelain floor and wall tiles for interior design and furnishing applications. Since its inception, the company has focused on technological innovation to meet the requirements of an increasingly demanding market, pushing the boundaries of product performance, quality, and ease of installation. Leveraging its constant investments in R&D and the added value of Italian expertise, ABK Group has developed a series of innovative ceramic solutions, including 3Dtech surfaces and FullBody3D, FullVein3D and P.TECH technologies. ABK Group’s products deliver the renowned quality of “Made in Italy” and meet rigorous sustainability standards in line with green building principles. The certified content of 40% recycled material in approximately 80% of products enables international LEED standards to be adopted from the design stage. ABK Group distributes its products in over 100 countries.
