Iris Ceramica Group Unveils 2026 Surfaces, Including Final Reloaded Color Blocks Under Glenn Martens
The Diesel Living with Iris Ceramica collection for 2026 has just wrapped up with two new additions to the Reloaded Color Blocks: Red with White and Blue with Silver. These new colors join the earlier releases of Gold with Bronze and Black with Grey, which were introduced at the ICG Gallery in Milan during Fuorisalone 2026. This launch signifies the end of Glenn Martens' creative direction and honors ten years of partnership between Diesel Living and Iris Ceramica, starting in 2015. Each Color Block features a mix of small-format Majolica, large slabs, and accent surfaces, enhanced by materials like Fiandre's Dover White and Ariostea's Portland. The theme "One Matter, Many Stories" emphasizes the fusion of ceramics with fashion and design.
