Brazilian Quartzite - Design Business Index

Brazilian Quartzite

Brazilian Quartzite: elegant, classy and stylish. Patterns and tonality ideally reflect the look of natural stone, and due to the innovative manufacturing technology, tiles can also be used outdoors. The multiformat collection is available in two types of finishes: polished and mat. The 6 mm thickness allows for a vast number of applications. These 100 percent natural tiles will bring luxury into any space where quality of the finishing material closely ties into achieving a desired atmosphere.

Cerrad Design Team

After many years of presence on the Polish and international markets, Cerrad, a Polish gres and clinker tile manufacturer, leads the ranks as one of the most dynamically developing production companies in Europe. Consistent attainment of strategies and investment in modern technologies allowed the manufacturer to realize ambitious projects and establish an innovative path for the company. Over the years, Cerrad created a refined tile portfolio with unparalleled designs, wide colour palettes, excellent technical parameters, many assorted formats and surface finish types (polished, matt, lappato, satin) that cater to the highest standards – both in terms of design as well as quality. Thanks to the completion of a third, fully automated production plant in Starachowice in 2018, along with the state-of-the-art LAMGEA production line, Cerad became one of the most advanced ceramic tile production companies in the world. The manufacturer product portfolio includes large format tiles with the unique 280 x 120 cm and 20 x 240 cm dimensions. The catalogue now also includes a line of innovative 6 mm thick tiles and v-shape treads. In 2019 Cerrad became the strategic investor of companies Ceramika Nowa Gala and Ceramika Gres. The perfectly complimenting product portfolios of all three brands and the increased production capacity to 22 mln m2 furthered the development of an even wider, more innovative product portfolio, that serves the needs of our clients in considerable ways. The high quality of the products offered is confirmed by attestations, certificates and various awards granted to the best manufacturers in the industry. A consistent and well thought out strategy opens up new markets for the company each day, both Polish and global wise. Cerrad tile collections gained client recognition from over 50 countries worldwide. Each year, the product portfolio is also presented at the most important international trade fairs of the industry such as Cersaie, Coverings, Cevisama, BAU and Eurobaustoff.

About DBI

The Design Business Index (DBI) is a merit-based rating system and professional directory founded to address one of the design industry’s biggest challenges: the difficulty of reliably assessing a designer’s true capabilities before a project begins. Through its partnership with the internationally recognized A’ Design Award, DBI combines a rigorous blind review process with transparent evaluation criteria to transform subjective design quality into objective credentials. By featuring only those who have demonstrated excellence under these stringent standards, DBI ensures a carefully curated pool of top talent, where clients can make confident, data-driven decisions about creative partnerships.

Beyond its directory, DBI offers a comprehensive DBI Credibility Suite™ designed to help designers and studios stand out in an overcrowded market. Each DBI-rated professional receives authoritative certificates, digital assets, and rating logos that validate their skills and attest to their proven creative excellence. These tools seamlessly integrate into websites, social media, and marketing materials—reinforcing trust, credibility, and, ultimately, market value. Notably, DBI ratings remain valid for a two-year period, encouraging ongoing professional development and highlighting those who continuously push the boundaries of innovation.

By systematically reducing guesswork and eliminating reliance on subjective portfolio reviews alone, the Design Business Index creates a more efficient, trustworthy, and merit-based environment for both clients and designers. With DBI, top talent rises above the noise, clients gain peace of mind, and the entire global design community benefits from higher standards of creativity, innovation, and professional excellence.

Design Business Index champions design excellence, valuing official recognition from respected international juries over mere popularity. Our criteria focus on transparent, rigorous evaluations by peers, assessing quality, ethics, and innovation. Notably, the prestigious A' Design Award highlights truly exceptional projects, judged by academics, press members, and professionals using a documented scoring system. We exclusively feature professionals and studios that have earned at least one peer-reviewed award, particularly the A' Design Award, ensuring that our listings represent meritocratic accomplishment, innovation, and credibility.
