Introducing FMG Maxfine: Large Format Porcelain Slabs Without Compromise

Studio Masson has long specialised in large-format slabs of this size and quality, and the addition of FMG Maxfine further strengthens our curated offering. Now available to view in our Paarden Eiland showroom, these remarkable slabs bring another level of Italian innovation to our portfolio.

FMG Maxfine is renowned for producing ultra-large porcelain slabs that faithfully recreate the beauty of natural stone while offering the practical benefits of advanced porcelain technology. These surfaces provide exceptional durability, stain resistance, minimal maintenance, and design versatility, making them ideal for luxury homes, hospitality environments, commercial interiors, and bespoke architectural projects.

At an impressive 300 x 150 cm, these large-format slabs create seamless surfaces with minimal joints, making them perfect for feature walls, kitchen islands, countertops, flooring, bathrooms, and statement interiors.

Discover the First Four FMG Maxfine Designs

Brown Fusion

Bold, expressive, and unmistakably luxurious, Brown Fusion features a rich tobacco-brown base intersected by dramatic white veining with subtle burgundy and slate-blue accents. Designed for those who embrace statement interiors, it transforms feature walls and kitchens into works of art while capturing the timeless appeal of natural marble.

Oyster

Oyster showcases extraordinary realism with layered blue-grey and ivory mineral textures that create remarkable visual depth. Its dynamic appearance changes with natural light, making it equally striking as luxury flooring or a feature wall. This slab demonstrates why FMG is recognised globally for technical ceramic excellence.

Onice Rosa

Inspired by rare pink onyx, Onice Rosa combines soft blush tones with flowing charcoal and golden veining to create warmth and sophistication. Perfect for kitchen islands, luxury bathrooms, reception spaces, and dramatic floor-to-ceiling installations, it brings refined elegance to contemporary interiors.

Onice Platino

For projects that embrace understated luxury, Onice Platino offers a serene interpretation of white onyx. Delicate textures emerge beneath its polished surface, creating an atmosphere of calm ideal for bathrooms, wellness spaces, spas, and tranquil residential interiors where light becomes part of the design.
