Portobello POSSIBILID LIMITADAS PARA REVE MOBILIAR The future of porcelain tiling. Portobello Slabs System. Covering, furnishing and decorating with more innovation and sustainability Slabs represent a technological revolution in the ceramics industry, predicated on a new production process that uses a different pressing method. It all began in the early 2000s when continuous pressing was developed in Italy and evolved to become a new paradigm for tiles. The very large formats and a flexibility of widths have expanded the use of ceramic surfaces into nobler areas of ar- chitecture, in addition to allowing new uses in de- sign and furniture. The comparison against slabs made of natural stone accentuated the technical advantages and the more sustainable traits of the manufacturing process. Portobello launched the Slabs Project in 2019 with the commissioning of stage one at its manufactu- ring facility. Later, in March 2020, Portobello relea- sed its Slabs during trade show Revestir, where it introduced a portfolio that was in line with the ma- jor global players in the industry.
