    In the US, outdoor design options and materials have been severely limited, largely starved of color, pattern and shape. OUTERclé changes that. This just-launched definitive source for outdoor materials — both traditional and unconventional — offers a dynamic new vision for gardens, pools, gathering spaces, and landscapes. The new company’s latest collection — Tivoli Tech designed by acclaimed Milan designer Cristina Celestino — is the perfect embodiment of this vision. https://lnkd.in/eMgDzzfx Tivoli Tech fuses Milanese wit and sophistication with Italy’s most advanced technical clays, courtesy of Celestino’s creative development with storied Italian tilemaker Fornace Brioni. The Fornace Brioni + Cristina Celestino collection of outdoor tile is exclusive to OUTERclé in the US. Made from through-body technical clays by one of Italy’s highest-quality family-run factories, Tivoli Tech is durable and low-maintenance, with the requisite resilience for the outdoor walls, floors — even pools, waterlines, fountains. The ceramic material for Tivoli Tech was developed by fourth-generation tile makers Fornace Brioni. This outdoor formulation — the result of intensive research and development — resulted in an ultra-high quality through-body technical clay that is freeze-thaw rated, resilient to pool chemicals, and is UV and slip-resistant.

    Did you know.... the creative minds behind clé just launched OUTERclé, the new, the definitive source for outdoor tile, materials, and elements at www.outercle.com We're unleashing a new creative movement that promises to change the way we think about, design, and engage with our outdoor spaces. The team — which transformed artisan tile from hard-to-find rarities into must-have mainstays beloved by leading designers and architects — launches OUTERclé with an elevated curation of 1000+ tiles, materials, and sculptural design elements. These offerings (many exclusive to OUTERclé) include surfaces that aren’t conventionally used in contemporary landscape design. From patios to pathways, and even driveways to pools, OUTERclé offers a new visual language for outdoor environments, making way for new, richer design narratives. These stories come to life in OUTERclé’s “Scapes”: new lenses through which to view the possibilities for the outdoors, based on landscape traditions from around the world. These include the lush, storied allure of English gardens in Manor to the power and stillness of Japanese traditions (Kenjo), the mid-century modernist motifs of ‘58, and the wild, rugged abandon of Nordik. OUTERclé fills an untapped demand at a pivotal time. It comes as designers, architects, and their clients have increasingly come to consider their outdoor spaces as vital to happiness and wellbeing and as fertile creative opportunities. Explore the world of OUTERclé.
