Marvel T – The latest launch by Atlas Concorde

Atlas Concorde has launched Marvel T, a new travertine-effect collection, which is part of the wider aesthetic universe of Marvel, expanding its language and design vision.With Marvel T, Atlas Concorde consolidates its expertise in the world of travertine, exploring new aesthetic nuances and offering an original and completely new version, capable of reinterpreting it in a contemporary, emotional and material key.

Based on the success of Marvel Travertine,Atlas Concorde’s debut collection with HBA, the world’s leading hospitality design firm, this second collaboration Marvel T celebrates the rich heritage and timeless artistry of Italian stone masonry. Through its signature 3D decorative structures, the collection pays homage to the craftsmanship of master masons in the Italian Renaissance, who skilfully shaped stones with hammers and chisels into graceful arches, columns and curved forms.

“Marvel T reflects the strength of our ongoing partnership with Atlas Concorde and our shared commitment to serving the global design industry. By combining HBA’s hospitality and lifestyle expertise with Atlas Concorde’s reach and innovation, we are able to create collections that respond to real project needs.” shares  Kelly Williams, Managing Director of HBA Procurement & HBA Product. “Following the success of Marvel Travertine, this collaboration demonstrates how thoughtful design, paired with strong brand synergy, can deliver timeless products that bring long-term value to designers and developers worldwide.”

Marvel T does not merely replicate the material, but reinvents its language. It is a contemporary tribute to the art of stoneworking, inspired by ancient techniques and the masterful craftsmanship, capable of transforming travertine into architecture and beauty. In this vision, three-dimensional textures take centre stage: bold, sculptural and modern structures that not only decorate but interact with the space, creating visual depth and a dialogue with light and those who inhabit it.

Thanks to the collaboration of HBA, a profound connoisseur of travertine, Atlas Concorde introduces three-dimensional surfaces and tactile textures with a strong impact, accentuating the natural character of travertine. The collection is also designed to interact with other materials: wood, concrete, neutral or textured surfaces. Marvel T lends itself to sophisticated total looks or elegant and harmonious combinations, which are perfectly suited to a variety of spaces, from residential to high-end hospitality.

Four essences, seven shades

The Marvel T collection is divided into four different interpretations of travertine, each inspired by a unique natural stone, available in seven colour variations.

Travertino Navona is a stone with a delicate, refined and discreet pattern. It comes in two warm, bright shades (White and Sand) that help to create spacious, harmonious and welcoming environments, ideal for a living experience inspired by wellbeing and serenity.

Halo is inspired by the extremely rare Bianco Sibillino, one of the whitest Italian travertines in the world. The surface is characterised by tone-on-tone cream veins that run diagonally in a wavy pattern. The result is a delicate stone that stands out for its purity and refinement. Halo is also available in two warm and bright shades: White and Sand.

The third proposal in the collection is based on classic Roman travertine, also known as striped travertine. It is the most iconic type of travertine, with regular vertical striations, visible pores and tone-on-tone contrasts that give the surface a bold yet delicate and balanced character. It is available in both the natural version (Sand) and an elegant grey variant (Silver) that expands the combination possibilities.

Stone Veil, inspired by Silk Georgette natural stone, stands out for its sinuous veins and soft, enveloping shades of grey and beige. The name Georgette emphasises the textile and silky effect of the surface, reminiscent of a light and refined drape. The result is a harmonious stone, ideal for sophisticated environments designed to convey a feeling of relaxation.

Materiality, between 3D structures and large slabs

With Marvel T, Atlas Concorde wanted to explore the most material aspect of travertine. This goal was pursued in two ways: firstly, through the 3D structures developed by HBA and inspired by the monumental architecture of the classical tradition; secondly, with large slabs on which the typical travertine finishes were replicated to enhance the more sensory and tactile connotations of the stone.

To further enrich the Marvel T project, Atlas Concorde collaborated with the international studio HBA, which designed a series of three-dimensional structures inspired by the classical monumentality of travertine. The result is highly textured 3D surfaces that restore the authentic identity of travertine, while reinterpreting it with a contemporary, original language in tune with the values of Atlas Concorde.

The initial prototypes of the 3D structures were created on neutral, plain bases using plaster moulds to explore the impact of relief and shadows. The research phase made it possible to assess how changes in scale affect the perception of volume and light. This experimentation led to the creation of 3D Qube, 3D MiniQube and 3D Arch.

3D Qube and 3D MiniQube share the same basic module, a geometric square available in two different sizes. The ‘larger’ version accentuates the play of light and shadow, while the mini version creates a more delicate and regular effect.

3D Arch, on the other hand, stands out for its softer, more sinuous shape. The effect is reminiscent of a curved sail or a wave. 3D Arch maintains the bold three-dimensionality of the previous structures, but in a more organic way, making it the ideal solution for environments designed to convey a sense of welcome.

A new piece of the Atlas Concorde Ecosystem The outdoor environment plays a central role in the Marvel T project, perfectly integrated into all the environments in the collection. It is precisely the versatility of travertine that allows Atlas Concorde to extend the aesthetics and performance of the product to every area of interior and outdoor design, reinforcing the concept of a complete and coherent environment.

Marvel T fits harmoniously into the Atlas Concorde Ecosystem, in perfect harmony with the One Space approach: the ability to offer coordinated and complementary surfaces for every application.

Atlas Concorde will be at Downtown Design this year at Booth A22. You can also visit them at Office 106, Building 8, Dubai Design District (d3) during Dubai Design Week and beyond.
