- 01
Large-format ceramic slabs
Large formats create a calm, cohesive appearance. Fewer grout joints can make cleaning easier, particularly in bathrooms and kitchens.
- 02
Matt and natural
Low-sheen surfaces create a restrained look that brings out the character of stone. Some finishes also feel pleasantly soft to the touch.
- 03
Texture with depth
Three-dimensional textures create a natural appearance, with details that can be both seen and felt.
- 04
Light and lustre
Selected ceramic surfaces feature gloss, pearlescent details or decorative effects that respond to changing light.
- 05
Continuous-looking edges
Special manufacturing and edge treatments can create a more seamless appearance on worktops, tables and bespoke furniture.
- 06

Natural stone comes from nature and every slab is unique. Ceramics with marble, stone, concrete and wood effects are manufactured surfaces that reproduce the look. Illustrations show material inspiration, not completed VBKU projects. Availability, slip resistance, thickness, formats and suitability are confirmed for each chosen product.
