There are materials that simply look good. Then there are those that offer so much more—they reflect light in many ways, delight with their depth and sculptural texture, which can be felt under your fingertips. Opoczno—a Polish company with over 140 years of tradition—combines the functionality of ceramic tiles with the multidimensional character of natural materials. The new True Touch interior ceramic collections not only faithfully reproduce nature’s creations but also allow you to experience nature with all your senses.

It’s no coincidence that ceramics reign supreme in interiors today —not only in bathrooms and kitchens, but also in common areas, living rooms, and bedrooms. It’s a material that has one key advantage over natural materials: exceptional functionality. The durability of porcelain stoneware and ceramic tiles ensures resistance to scratches, abrasion, extreme temperatures, and moisture, while the non-porous surface makes cleaning easier, does not absorb odors, and helps keep the interior perfectly clean.

Despite these undeniable advantages, many interior designers still opt for wood, stone, or other natural materials. In a world dominated by mass-produced goods, authenticity, uniqueness, and the multifaceted nature of the material itself turn out to be among the most important selection criteria. However, this comes with both the aforementioned advantages and disadvantages—high cost, complicated maintenance, and reduced durability. It turns out, however, that the dilemma of choosing between functionality and the sensory experience of the material may soon be a thing of the past.

Opoczno — Innovation Rooted in Tradition

The Opoczno brand boasts over 140 years of tradition and experience, upon which true innovation is built today. It all began with the factory founded by Jan Dziewulski and the brothers Józef and Władysław Lange—their first factory, founded in 1883 in Opoczno—and by the 1930s, Opoczno tiles had taken Polish tenement buildings by storm with their original “Warsaw corsets” design, small tiles featuring a distinctive indentation. In the meantime, Opoczno ceramics have moved beyond the bathrooms and stairwells of tenement buildings to churches, office buildings, and even skyscrapers. Now they’re making a comeback with another revolution—the True Touch collection, which combines the functionality of ceramics with the authenticity and sensual character of natural materials.

True Touch Interior Ceramics — Stige

Collections inspired by the senses. See, touch, and feel

True Touch ceramics made their debut in 2025 at the legendary Cersaie trade show in Bologna and immediately caught the attention of critics, designers, and design enthusiasts. However, the success of the new ceramics from Opoczno did not end at the Bologna exhibition, because shortly thereafter, in October 2025, the new True Touch ceramic collection caught the attention of the jury at the 32nd edition of the Good Design competition, organized by the Institute of Industrial Design. The Stige and Velluto collections were named finalists in the Dobry Wzór competition, confirming that, in addition to color, texture, the play of light, and the spatial depth of the material are also key elements in interior design.

True Touch — the depth of natural materials in functional ceramics

We don’t perceive architecture solely with our eyes. Interiors affect us through the temperature of materials, their softness, roughness, and the way they diffuse light. Wood remains warm to the touch, and its surface —depending on how it’s treated—can be silky smooth or rough, creating a whole range of sensations under your fingertips. Each board carries within it the history of the tree it once was—from its grain and discoloration to its knots. A stone tile, on the other hand, will be cold to the touch, visually “heavier,” and captivating with its rough or completely smooth, subtle texture.

True Touch Interior Ceramics — Fiori di Luve and Lunavera

Until now, this extraordinary variety of sensory experiences has been reserved exclusively for natural materials. Thanks to an advanced production process , tiles from the Opoczno True Touch collection feature a three-dimensional texture that can be felt under the fingertips, faithfully capturing the natural veining of stone, the subtle traces of its processing, and the rhythm of wood grain. Microstructures, shimmering accents, and tiny, iridescent particles cause the surface to gently reflect light, creating a refined, multidimensional effect.

color, sheen, texture

Hundreds of years before transparent glass filled the windows of our homes, builders used, among other things... alabaster. Why alabaster, specifically? Like a few other minerals, alabaster allows some of the sun’s rays to pass through its surface, illuminating it from within and revealing the material’s intricate, non-uniform structure.

True Touch Interior Ceramics — Velluto

Thanks to digital precision and modern technologies, the ceramics from the True Touch collection replicate this remarkable property, revealing the natural depth of the pattern. This effect is accentuated by a three-dimensional texture, brought out by light reflections and perceptible to the touch. Just like real stone, True Touch ceramics change their appearance depending on the lighting—soft light will subtly diffuse across their surface, while direct, directional lighting will accentuate the tiles’ spatial nuances.

True Touch Interior Ceramics — Balensino

Marble, limestone, and granite—some of the most popular types of stone used in interior design—differ in almost every aspect, from weight, color, and sheen to the sensations they evoke to the touch. Opoczno ceramic tiles offer a similar variety of material characteristics and the sensations they evoke. True Touch faithfully replicates marbles —both the lustrous, nuanced ones, such as the delicate Balensino, and the strongly veined, contrasting Velluto —as well as other naturally occurring stones.

True Touch Interior Ceramics — Tessuo and Stige

Tessuo Stone flawlessly imitates the Argentine quartzite Patagonia White thanks to its matte finish, which highlights the shimmering infusions, while Stige replicates the Brazilian Bronzit, with its rich copper-brown color palette, veining, and distinctive, multidimensional texture achieved using Glue & Granilla and Brushing technologies.

True Touch Interior Ceramics — Fanshi

True Touch also lets your imagination run wild, offering stone-effect porcelain tiles with far more avant-garde shapes and shades. The Monvera collection reinterprets the raw look of concrete in a more sculptural, decorative style, Fanshi porcelain stoneware is a green stone strikingly similar to jade, while Minelli tiles mimic light marble with a matte, velvety-to-the-touch texture and green veining that can serve as a color accent in the interior on its own.

True Touch Interior Ceramics — Alvini Wood

ceramics as if carved by a master

True Touch can imitate both stone and wood. In the case of wood, the natural grain pattern, subtle microstructure, and—above all— the exceptional softness of the surface, so characteristic of this natural material, come to the fore.

True Touch Interior Ceramics — Wood Essence and Wood Art

But that’s not all—while collections such as Wood Pulse and Wood Art mimic wood in its natural form, offering a choice from a refined selection of shades, the Strippo Wood and Alvini Wood tiles replicate the effects of an experienced woodworker’s craft. Light that softly glides across their surfaces—adorned with deep grooves or an elegant chevron pattern—highlights the material’s three-dimensional, sculptural structure. The texture can thus not only be seen but also felt beneath your fingertips.

True Touch: A Feast for the Senses

It’s not easy to put into words all the sensations that come from touching a material with such striking depth, varied texture, and a surface that changes depending on the light falling on it. It’s even harder to capture it in photographs.

True Touch Interior Ceramics — Balensino and Benavente

Opoczno’s True Touch collection combines the best of ceramics with the authentic, sensory appeal of wood and stone. That’s exactly how, thanks to an innovative approach and advanced technologies , a new definition of a luxurious interior is emerging —one that not only looks good but also makes us feel good.
