The warmth of natural-looking surfaces, combined with advanced ceramic technology, suits every space dedicated to care, rehabilitation, and personal well-being. In Milan, the cutting-edge Isokinetic sports rehabilitation centre exemplifies this approach: a highly specialised facility geared to the future—both in medical expertise and equipment, and in architecture and interior design. For entrances, clinics, offices, and service areas, Iris Ceramica surfaces were selected by architect Giacomo Della Villa (designer of Isokinetic centres across Italy and in London) to combine welcome, durability, and hygiene. Contemporary wood- and stone-inspired finishes create a warm, reassuring language that moves away from the traditional hospital feel, enhancing the perceived quality of spaces throughout the care pathway. Surfaces were also chosen to meet stringent performance requirements for healthcare environments: wear resistance, easy cleaning, and anti-slip characteristics suitable for high-humidity zones, in full compliance with current regulations. The broad Iris Ceramica range enabled a coherent material–colour composition between public and technical areas, with layouts designed to support wayfinding, legibility, and comfort. Aligned with brand values, the project highlights Iris Ceramica’s commitment to uniting aesthetic research, technical innovation, and environmental sustainability—solutions tailored to sensitive contexts that elevate everyday experiences for patients and staff without sacrificing the architectural identity of the place of care.
