About the Silverlake Collection by Mirage
The Silverlake collection by Mirage is an appealing reinterpretation of natural quartzite stones in porcelain stoneware, achieved through Mirage’s most advanced production technologies to faithfully reproduce the variable colors and soft veining of the original material. The range is composed of one white, four shades of grey, and a multicolor touch for maximum design versatility — Braies, Resia, Moritz, Nemi, Moro, and Cava Degli Orsi. The multicolor reference of the range, Cava Degli Orsi weaves warm grey, beige, and slate notes into a rugged, expressive stone effect that suits projects requiring a single tile to span multiple tonal zones. Its structured surface and frost-resistant porcelain body make Silverlake equally suited to indoor and outdoor applications, while V4 substantial shade variation gives each installation an authentic, naturally varied character.
