Kaolin leads the industry in mimicking natural stone in its highest form, resulting from long-term research, development and investment in cutting-edge technology. We are changing the landscape of residential and commercial design, offering beloved stone, material and textile looks in an epic range of shapes and sizes. This is a coup for architects and designers, who can enhance their projects with looks that have previously been too difficult to source.

In addition to providing an exponential range of finishes to residential, commercial and public spaces, Kaolin Looks possess significant advantages over the natural and fabricated materials they replicate. Across the board, porcelain is more durable, is less affected by the elements and is resistant to chemical cleaning products. It is also environmentally friendlier, as the world comes to terms with the realisation that natural stones such as marble aren’t an infinite resource.

Our technology has reached a point where it not only allows us to replicate natural form – it allows us to enhance it. Fine details applied in multiple layers of printing create a striking resemblance to natural stone, which our creative team can infuse with experimental colour combinations. Visit our showroom to witness the different characters of our pieces first-hand, to find the ones that will establish the perfect mood of your home, commercial environment or project.

ABOUT KAOLIN


KAOLIN

We own a top manufacturer and only bring the top brands from China.

Backed by over 25 years of manufacturing experience from China, Kaolin has the international market knowledge, attention to detail and supply chain know-how to meet the expectations of our clients, each and every time. It’s our ambition to make breathtaking spaces easy to attain. We endeavour to bring you the best products.

Rita is originally from Foshan, China, where is also known as “Ceramic Capital of The South” and Silicon Valley of Porcelain, and where 8 out of 10 top Chinese tiles brands come from. There are nearly 1000 production lines in Foshan, most of which are equipped with advanced facilities - efficient, highly automated and energy-conserving. The ceramic brands from Foshan areas prestigious and influential in the market with over 2 billion AUD annual sales volume.

Her family’s manufacture Guanxing Ceramic was established back in 1995, who has always be seen as the market leader in the industry. As one of the first generation in tile mass production, it is one of the top 10 brands in China (2011-2016), and won one of the most innovative brands in China (2020). They understand the importance of tiles in every single space, they add fashion element in tiles and display them like jewellery.

Anton and Rita spent significant time of their life in Europe and Asia, they were exposed and inspired by many different cultures and backgrounds. It all helped them to understand and build on the different styles and fashion trends within the tiles industry in Europe, Asia and Australia by handpicking sophisticated and unique selections to please and intrigue the local market. In their years of living in Belgium, they understand the idea of “Less is more” isn’t about just having a plain white box or cool ultramodern space. It is about the simplicity allows the focus to remain on the room’s purpose and function, and on the beauty of its carefully selected finishes. Those things that you see, touch every single day of living, are where people should put most effort in.

“Creativity is intelligence having fun.”Albert Einstein

Stone is the universal form of natural strength and substance. After thousands of years of compression, it manifests underground and on the surface in an endless variety of sedimentary expression. We accelerate Nature’s process, producing stone-look finishes that replicate organic compounds, with veins that feel infinitely close to the real thing. Our pieces make the warmth and power of natural stone available in large formats that are suitable for indoor and outdoor applications.

Precious stones are born deep in the Earth’s magmatic mass, before cooling slowly in the crust to mineralise and form crystals. Once igneous rock reaches the surface, the forces of erosion and weathering are at play and create new varieties of gemstone. Artefacts of timeless beauty, precious stones embody the paradox of nature, the femininity of the constant state of change and the masculinity of the fixed moment and form. Every piece is perfected to become a lavish ornament within a treasured environment.
