Six-S Collection from Neolith®
Neolith®, the pioneering brand of Sintered Stone, is inaugurating the "Six-S Collection," a visually impressive new range highlighting the material's enormous architectural potential and showcasing the brand's unparalleled design techniques.
All Six-S surfaces have been developed to promote appropriate material selection as a way to make a positive impact on public health, well-being and wellness, as well as on the environment and ecosystem worldwide. Inspired by the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the new models allude to the six essential qualities of Neolith®: supportive, sanitary, strong, stylish, impactful on the senses and sustainable.
Six times "S"
Each of these core values is indispensable to Neolith® and is illustrated in the Six-S Collection, which aims to go beyond the aesthetic qualities of the surface, allowing the user to experience the essence of the brand:
1. Solidarity
Represents Neolith®'s deep-rooted family values, social sentiment and the brand's commitment to building a stronger and more sustainable society.
2. Sanitary
Promotes the ultra-hygienic properties of Neolith®. These are easy-to-clean, low-maintenance surfaces that can be disinfected with the most aggressive chemicals without fading or damage.
3. strong
Refers to Neolith®'s indispensable properties of high strength and resistance. The material will provide long-lasting value to both the user and the environment.
4. Stylish
Aimed at providing hyper-realistic designs, the Six-S range has been carefully designed taking into account ever-evolving design trends around the world. The newly developed models seamlessly combine elegance with the essence of durability.
5 Sensory (Interacting with the senses).
Enables a multi-sensory experience through the development of a unique range of special textures and finish variations that interact with touch. Each newly designed model provides a high level of realism, alluding to the wonders of the natural world.
6 Sustainable
As a company fully aware of the increasing importance of environmentally friendly design and green building. Neolith®provides 100% natural surfaces with "carbon neutral" status for both interior and exterior applications.
Without compromising visual appeal, the latest models draw inspiration from various corners of the world, including the majestic Himalayas and the sweltering Arabian desert, delivering high-resolution colors. Specially developed touch-affecting finishes on each surface contribute to providing a high level of realism along the lines of the materials they reference.
Essentially, this innovative collection expands horizons, elegantly showcasing the possibilities of combining style and substance.
Six-S is available in six new editions to complement the current Neolith® range. The two newest color versions (Himalaya and Layla) were inaugurated in early July. Today, we already know the entire family of new surfaces.
The six unveilings of the Six-S collection
HIMALAYA CRYSTAL
The source of inspiration for this bright and luminous model was the soaring majesty and lofty peaks of the Himalayas. Himalaya Crystal pays homage to the famous salt crystals mined in the region since the time of Alexander the Great.
This tribute to the mighty and majestic mountain range managed to perfectly capture the most important features of the natural Himalayan salt crystals. The bold arrangement of veins contrasts exquisitely with the subtle spontaneity, and the slight translucency adds authenticity. All of this contributes to creating a flawless, crystalline look that seems to elegantly illuminate the space in which the model is used.
The Himalaya Crystal model is available in two equally impressive finishes: the Décor Polished finish gains depth and elegance and reflects the colors of the Classtone Collection by Neolith®, while the second finish, Ultrasoft, provides a texture with greater softness and depth. Himalaya is available in 6mm, 12mm and 20mm thicknesses, and in 3200×1600mm and 3200×1500mm formats.
LAYLA
Like the stories of Scheherazade, the Layla model alludes to the magic and mysticism of the "Tales of 1001 Nights." The model's source of inspiration came from tales of caves overflowing with glittering gold, gin in bottles and romances played out in quiet, tiled courtyards and in chambers filled with the scent of incense.
The Layla model features an exquisite but restrained aesthetic and was built on the evolution of previous models, including Calatorao, Krater and Nero Marquina.
The Layla model is available in two distinctive finishes: Décor Polished, emphasizing the depth and elegance of the model, and Slate, going a step further by referencing the texture and carving of the natural material. The model is available in 6 mm, 12 mm and 20 mm thicknesses, and in 3200×1600 mm and 3200×1500 mm formats.
ABU DHABI WHITE
Conjuring up the sun-drenched landscapes of the Arabian coast, Abu Dhabi White evokes the hot and sparkling waters of the desert peninsula. The striking Sheikh Zayed Mosque in the Emirati capital, which directly influenced these colors, with its soft golden veins and flecks of brilliant gray, creates a subtle and delicate look. Combined with the texture of natural, unpolished stone, this tile provides a refreshing look and feel of minimalism.
Abu Dhabi White is offered with Décor Polished or Silk finishes in 6mm and 12mm thicknesses and is available in 3200×1600 mm and 3200×1500 mm formats.
AMAZONICO
This captivating new design transports the observer to the lush, dense and exotic rainforests of South America, with their diverse mix of flora and fauna and gently flowing rivers. Amazonico conceals dark and mysterious tones, representing the dense forest floor, which gradually gives way to lighter colors, alluding to the gradual emergence from the canopy. Highly exclusive, this sophisticated tile has a special texture that further enhances its natural qualities.
Amazonico is offered with Décor Polish or Slate finishes in 6 mm thicknesses and available in 3200×1500 mm formats.
SUMMER DALA
Inspired by the majestic, slow-growing pine trees surrounding breathtaking Lake Siljan, Summer Dala is named after one of the country's national symbols, the Faraway Horse. From central to Swedish folklore, they are brightly painted wooden statues made from wood sourced from these unique trees and reflect the important role horses have historically played in everyday society.
Hand-carved to a high degree of craftsmanship, the special sculptures evoke lasting strength, grace, sophistication and beauty. These qualities, which are also true of Neolith® surfaces, are perfectly captured within the Summer Dala design. Possessing a distinct and original look, Neolith® has achieved the essence of the unique texture of this pine, using the latest decoration technology to create surfaces with a hint similar to unvarnished wood.
Dala is produced in two shades, summer and winter, one depicting the profile of fresh-cut wood and the other a weathered look reminiscent of the dramatic, windswept North Sea coast. The introduction of the Dala designs further underscores Neolith's commitment to sustainable practices and the protection of our natural forests and rainforests. Like the other wood-inspired designs in the series, Summer Dala and Winter Dala faithfully reproduce the cross sections of real trees without the need to cut them down, ensuring a positive environmental impact.
Summer Dala is offered in 6 mm and 12 mm silk finishes and is available in 3200×1600 mm and 3200×1500 mm formats.
WINTER DALA
Like the other wood-inspired designs in the series, Summer Dala and Winter Dala faithfully reproduce the cross sections of real trees without the need to cut them down, ensuring a positive environmental impact.
Winter Dala is offered in 6 mm and 12 mm thick silk finishes and is available in 3200×1600 mm and 3200×1500 mm formats.

As a brand, we are fully committed to protecting public health and well-being with the materials we produce. Neolith's goal is to contribute to a stronger and more sustainable society, particularly in reference to the effects of COVID-19. This is how the Neolith Six-S collection was created.
