Continuous research, an avant-garde spirit and responsible sustainability are the pillars that guide Quartzforms®, the Scapin Group brand specialized in the production of mineral surfaces. The new range extension to the Forest and New Era collections is the most tangible confirmation: three new shades — Taj, Sequoia and Bronze — that sensitively interpret contemporary living trends.
Quartzforms® and Scapin Group: technological innovation in mineral surfaces
Quartzforms® is the flagship brand of Scapin Group — a Venetian company founded in 1981, today led by Vincenzo, Gianni and Romeo Scapin — specialized in the production of mineral surfaces for kitchens, bathrooms and wall and floor cladding. With a 120,000 sqm production facility in Magdeburg, Germany, the brand pursues constant research on durability, versatility, hygiene and aesthetic performance.
At the heart of this evolution is Ecotone™: the new generation of surfaces made with recycled components, resin derived from bio compound and crystalline silica content below 5% — an innovation that responds to the growing demand for sustainable and safe materials in the design sector.
Forest collection: Taj and Sequoia, new low silica through-vein surfaces
The two new proposals Taj and Sequoia join the Forest collection, a line of low silica sustainable surfaces characterized by the through-vein technique — an aesthetic continuity that runs across the entire slab, simulating the natural patterns of precious stones.
Taj — elegance inspired by the Taj Mahal quartzite
The new Taj proposal expresses a natural elegance reminiscent of the majestic Taj Mahal quartzite. The warm shades of the slab, crossed by subtle mineral veins, give life to balanced and sophisticated surfaces, ideal for kitchen tops and bathroom environments. The matte, silky finish diffuses light gently, harmonizing with woods, metals and organic materials — a perfect balance between material suggestion and design functionality.

Sequoia — deep, refined anthracite grey
Sequoia introduces a rich, deep shade: an intense anthracite grey that evokes the compactness of natural stone. The surface is crossed by lighter, thin and irregular veins that carve the material with elegance, creating a refined play of contrasts and depth. The result is a strong yet measured surface where intensity and refinement coexist in perfect balance.

New Era collection: Bronze and the Ecotone™ project
Bronze enriches the New Era collection, an integral part of the Ecotone™ project — the cutting-edge surface line from Quartzforms® that integrates recycled materials, resin derived from bio compound and a crystalline silica content below 5%.
The Bronze shade, neutral and refined, interprets the language of interior design with restraint and coherence. Discreet yet distinctive, it defines spaces with elegance, enhancing volumes, surfaces and construction details. A proposal able to combine formal rigor and aesthetic sensitivity, designed for contemporary environments where balance and performance coexist without compromises.
Technical performance: why choose Quartzforms® mineral surfaces
The Quartzforms® mineral surfaces stand out for a set of technical features that make them ideal for multiple design applications:
- Mechanical and impact resistance — suitable for kitchen tops, bathroom surfaces and high-use areas
- Hygiene and ease of maintenance — non-porous surface, resistant to stains and bacteria
- Application versatility — kitchen, bathroom, walls and floors in residential and contract contexts
- Low silica formulation — reduced crystalline silica content for operator safety
- Recycled components and bio compound resin (New Era collection / Ecotone™) — certified sustainability
These characteristics consolidate Quartzforms®' role as a reference partner for designers, architects and interior designers seeking surfaces that combine technological innovation and material culture.
Design applications: where to use Taj, Sequoia and Bronze
The three new shades are suitable for a wide range of applications in interior design and contract architecture:
- Kitchen tops and islands — Taj and Bronze for bright, refined spaces, Sequoia for strong contrasts
- Bathroom tops and cladding — Taj through-vein for continuous, high-impact surfaces
- Vertical wall cladding — Sequoia for scenic walls with a natural stone effect
- Interior residential and contract flooring — certified durability and aesthetic performance
- Custom furnishings — table tops, consoles, technical surfaces in contemporary settings
Availability in various finishes and formats makes Quartzforms® surfaces adaptable both to high-end residential projects and large contract schemes — hotels, offices, public spaces and showrooms.
Responsible sustainability: Quartzforms®' Ecotone™ project
With the Ecotone™ project, Quartzforms® and Scapin Group affirm a concrete commitment to sustainability in the mineral surfaces sector. The formulation integrates recycled materials into the slab mass, uses resin derived from bio compound instead of traditional petrochemical resins and reduces crystalline silica content below 5%.
This choice responds to an increasingly pressing market demand: designers, kitchen manufacturers and contract clients ask for materials that guarantee not only high performance, but also transparent supply chains, reduced environmental impact and safety during processing.
