A New Era Of UMORE
New Tile Collections Shaping the Mood of Commercial Interiors

Every memorable space begins with a mood: This philosophy propels us into our next era. Marking a bold new chapter, this phase debuts expanded collections, grander formats, and the raw elegance of natural stone, all meticulously curated to elevate modern commercial interiors.

From hospitality environments to statement feature spaces, UMORE pushes tile design in a more fashion-driven direction. Unlike traditional tile launches that focus heavily on technical specifications, this release centers on storytelling, atmosphere, and visual impact.

These new and updated collections were designed to help architects and designers create memorable experiences through texture, mood, scale, and material inspiration. Large format porcelain, handcrafted wall visuals, warm concrete looks, and natural stone mosaics now expand the possibilities for commercial interiors. The result is a series of collections that balance high-performance utility with deep emotional connection.

 

A New Era for Commercial Tile Design

UMORE expands beyond multifamily applications into hospitality, workplace, retail, and feature-driven commercial environments. This evolution reflects the growing demand for interiors that feel warmer, softer, and more human-centered. Today’s designers are moving away from overly corporate or impersonal aesthetics in favor of spaces that feel curated, welcoming, and emotionally connected. We answer that shift with collections inspired by natural stone, handcrafted finishes, European oak, and timeless Roman travertine.

“UMORE is about creating commercial spaces that feel more natural, welcoming, and visually impactful,” said Keith Lacognata, Vice President of Sales – Southwest at Spartan Surfaces. “With larger formats, stone-inspired looks, and more design-driven collections, we wanted to give architects and designers materials that help bring real character and mood into a space.”

 

Bari Evolves with New Sizes and Colors

UMORE’s existing Bari collection receives significant updates within this launch. The line now includes a new Graphite color featuring a deep charcoal appearance. The additional 24″x24″ and 24″x48″ formats also provide greater flexibility for commercial projects. All four Bari colors now support these expanded sizing options.

 

Rapolano Brings Roman Travertine Inspiration Forward

Rapolano introduces a sophisticated vein-cut travertine appearance inspired by old-world Roman architecture. The collection focuses heavily on visual storytelling and timeless material inspiration. Rather than emphasizing only technical data, Rapolano encourages designers to think about atmosphere and emotion. Its warm movement creates interiors that feel refined, layered, and luxurious.

The collection also embraces larger formats tailored toward premium wall applications and statement spaces. These larger visuals amplify the elegance of classic travertine interiors. Rapolano balances historical inspiration with modern porcelain performance for demanding commercial environments.

 

Torano Elevates the Marble Look Category

Torano represents UMORE’s next evolution in marble-inspired porcelain tile. This collection builds upon the original Milan collection while dramatically increasing visual realism. The double-glazing process creates sharper veining, greater detail, and enhanced depth throughout the surface.

Torano utilizes advanced manufacturing techniques to achieve a more authentic, marble-inspired appearance. Foundational visuals like Carrara and Arabesque anchor the collection’s opening palette with timeless elegance, while matte and polished finishes offer versatile options across a wide range of commercial environments. Notably, the polished finish meets ADA requirements, though careful specification is recommended based on the intended application. Torano also proudly expands UMORE’s growing portfolio of USA-made tile solutions.

 

Livigno Introduces a Softer Cement Aesthetic

Livigno moves beyond cold industrial concrete visuals in favor of a warmer, more dimensional cement-inspired aesthetic. Subtle aggregate movement introduces texture and depth while maintaining a calm, approachable feel. This softer interpretation of concrete continues gaining momentum across modern commercial interiors.

Designed for both interior and exterior applications, Livigno supports floors, walls, and facades with versatile performance. A standout feature within the line is the 36″x36″ format, which designers increasingly favor for its balance of scale, installation efficiency, and visual impact. Livigno also expands UMORE’s growing catalog of USA-made tile offerings.

 

Genoa Marks UMORE’s First Wood Plank Collection

Genoa introduces the first wood-look plank within the UMORE portfolio. Inspired by clean European oak, the collection features refined grain movement and minimal knotting, resulting in a sophisticated, contemporary appearance. Its softer visuals complement hospitality, multifamily, workplace, and residential-inspired commercial interiors while avoiding overly rustic detailing.

Four tonal colorways provide flexibility, ranging from light oak visuals to deeper contemporary finishes. Pressed tile construction creates softer edges, further enhancing the collection’s natural and authentic look.

 

Savona Delivers Handcrafted Wall Tile Character

Savona introduces a handcrafted zellige-inspired wall tile aesthetic into the UMORE lineup. The collection features high gloss glaze paired with intentional surface undulation and irregular grout lines. These details help recreate the imperfect beauty associated with handcrafted ceramic surfaces. The result feels artistic, layered, and highly dimensional.

Savona was designed specifically for wall applications and statement surfaces. Its visual depth works especially well within boutique, hospitality, and restaurant commercial environments. The collection also offers strong pricing advantages over many competing handcrafted wall tile offerings. This positioning creates additional opportunities for designers seeking elevated aesthetics within tighter budgets.

 

Natural Stone Expands UMORE’s Portfolio with Ravenna

UMORE also introduces Ravenna, our first true natural stone mosaic. New stone visuals include Calacatta, Iceberg, Thassos, and Bianco Orion. The collections feature formats like basket weave, hex, picket, and herringbone mosaics. These additions expand UMORE into more premium feature-driven applications.

Natural variation becomes a major design advantage throughout the collection. Each mosaic delivers unique movement and visual depth impossible to duplicate perfectly. Ravenna also features proprietary fiber mesh backing systems designed specifically for UMORE.

 

The Future of UMORE, Today

UMORE reflects the continued evolution of commercial interiors toward more emotionally driven and experience-focused design. Today’s designers prioritize atmosphere, texture, material authenticity, and visual storytelling to create spaces that feel more welcoming and memorable. This launch supports that shift through expanded visuals, larger formats, and thoughtfully curated introductions designed for modern commercial environments.

With collections like Rapolano, Torano, Livigno, Genoa, Savona, and Ravenna entering the market, UMORE continues expanding its design language while balancing style, performance, and versatility. As commercial spaces move toward warmer and more human-centered aesthetics, UMORE remains focused on helping designers create interiors that leave a lasting impression.
