Most surfaces only work on one level – they look good from a distance, but up close they’re flat. The Air Collection by Capron Vitrified was designed to work on both: a tactile, three-dimensional finish that catches light and shadow the way real stone or fabric does, so it reads as textured whether you’re standing across the room or running a hand across it.
What Is the Air Collection?
Air is built around Capron’s signature Shape Finish – a raised, dimensional texture where “veins trace natural contours, geometric lines rise and fall with intention, and every shadow feels thoughtfully placed.” Rather than a flat printed pattern, the surface itself has depth, so light moves across it differently depending on the angle and time of day.
Every design in the collection comes in a large 600x1200mm format, 8.5mm thick, with random face patterns of R-2, R-3 or R-4 depending on the design – meaning each design ships with that many distinct faces per box to avoid repetition when installed.
Built for Real Use, Not Just Display
The Air Collection is engineered to be moisture-resistant, scratch resistant and stain resistant, and is specifically advisable for floors and high-footfall areas. Capron positions it for:
- Homes – living rooms, dining areas, feature walls
- Hotels – lobbies and guest areas that need to look premium and hold up to daily traffic
- Showrooms and retail – feature walls with texture that photographs well
- Spas and cafés – spaces where tactile, natural-feeling surfaces set the mood
A Design for Every Space
With 39 designs across warm neutrals, cool greys and richer tones, the Air Collection covers a wide design range – from the soft, marble-inspired British and Avena families to bolder textures like Mozika and Stonaly. Here’s a look at British Grey installed in a dining setting:

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes the Air Collection’s Shape Finish different from a regular printed surface?
The Shape Finish is a raised, dimensional texture rather than a flat printed pattern, so it catches light and shadow like natural stone or fabric, both up close and from across a room.
Is the Air Collection suitable for flooring?
Yes – it’s specifically advisable for floors and areas with high footfall, thanks to its moisture, scratch and stain resistance.
What size do Air Collection surfaces come in?
All 39 designs are available in a large 600x1200mm format.
Can the Air Collection be used for commercial spaces like cafés and showrooms?
Yes. Capron recommends the collection for homes, hotels, showrooms, spas and cafés – anywhere that benefits from a durable, tactile surface.
Final Thoughts
The Air Collection is for anyone who wants a surface that does more than sit flat on a wall or floor – one that adds real depth and texture to a space. With 39 designs, moisture and stain resistance built in, and a finish suited to everything from a home living room to a busy café floor, it’s a practical choice wherever texture matters as much as durability.
