1 - A remarkable transformation: The project by Maripier Morin and Jean-Philippe Perras
Maripier Morin and Jean-Philippe Perras undertook an ambitious renovation of their home, aiming to create a space where timeless elegance blends perfectly with enduring comfort.

The choice of Proma Quadra slabs in the soft, natural Oka Beige shade created a warm, modern surface while preserving the authenticity of the property. The tiles are both elegant and durable, and offer exceptional resistance, ideal for family gatherings and convivial moments with friends. This project is more than a simple renovation: it's a total reconfiguration of the home experience, redefining the way families enjoy their outdoor space.

5- Subtle lighting and Proma XL tiles: create a magical evening atmosphere
In 2024, the trend is for harmony between clean design and warm ambience. Rinox's Proma XL slabs, with their smooth, modern finish, become the ideal basis for elegant outdoor design.
