“Tulipani” is the Ceramica Bardelli collection designed by Ronald van der Hilst for Atelier — Ceramica da Parati. The project translates the designer’s botanical research into a contemporary ceramic surface through graphics, relief, and engraving.

The collection includes Tuli-Charme, Tuli-Pique, and Tuli-Poni—three interpretations of the tulip that transform the flower into rhythm, texture, and composition. Tuli-Charme introduces an innovative laser engraving technology that etches the design directly onto the ceramic surface with precision and depth. Tuli-Pique and Tuli-Poni, on the other hand, feature designs created using cold digital printing with material deposition. The design language draws on themes from Ceramica Bardelli’s heritage and reinterprets them through a new decorative scale.

Tulipani is crafted from rectified porcelain stoneware in the 60×120 cm format, 0.95 cm thick, for wall applications. The various decorative technologies lend the surface depth and a tactile quality: laser engraving characterizes Tuli-Charme, while cold digital printing with material deposition defines Tuli-Pique and Tuli-Poni. The tile thus becomes a vertical canvas dedicated to wall decoration.
