Summary/Abstract: In the 21st century there was a clear turn to nature. Respect for nature and responsibility for sustainable development and rational use of resources have increased. The concept of ecology in architecture and interior design, sustainable design and innovation are still valid and considered from many different perspectives. This article focuses on putting this topic in the context of innovative ceramic materials and their application in shaping architectural interiors. Today, we are experiencing an amazing revolution, both technical and aesthetic, in the production of ceramic materials, and more specifically porcelain stoneware tiles. Modern ceramic products, especially large-format stoneware tiles, offer unconventional design options and an extended range of use of this material in architectural interiors.
