Distinctly American. Uniquely Crossville.
Buenos Aires Mood
Porcelain Stone®
Capture the essence
of Buenos Aires.
Buenos Aires...In this city, every
twist and turn, every step and
touch, can transport you. Much
like the legendary tango, warm
and cool collide to create a palette
which inspires passion. Ombré
shading provides for a rich and
unique coloration, while the
unique textures provide versatility
both indoors and out. Larger
formats - ranging from 12x12 to
18x36 - evoke the grandeur of this
larger than life culture.
Design is a dance. Style is the
music. Feel the rhythm, and find
your Buenos Aires Mood.
•Multistrato Technology creates

movement within

image for blended, aesthetically
pleasing installations
•Textured finish suitable for
