Vitra launches Resincode porcelain tiles that mimic cement resin

Vitra has launched Resincode, a porcelain tile collection that mimics the look of cement resin.

The range was set out on 15 September 2026, according to Dezeen. Porcelain, a hard-fired clay ceramic widely used for floors and walls because it is dense and hard-wearing, is the base throughout. The surface copies resin mixed with cement, a poured finish known for its soft, cloudy colour and smooth, matte feel.

That choice will be familiar to anyone who has scrolled through interiors feeds. The calm, almost joint-free look of poured resin is popular. Here it arrives as ready-made tiles, which are laid piece by piece with grout joints, the filled gaps between tiles, rather than poured in one go.

Size is a big part of the offer. Resincode comes in three formats. The largest is a 1200 x 1200 millimetre square, which is 1.2 metres on each side. The middle option is a 600 x 1200 millimetre rectangle. The smallest is a 600 x 600 millimetre square.

The spread is practical. Large squares cover open floors fast and keep the number of joints down, which helps a living room or lobby read as one surface. Smaller squares fit tighter bathrooms and kitchens, where cuts around doors, corners and sanitaryware are easier and single-tile repairs are simpler.

Colour is the other headline. The collection is offered in five main colourways, a tile-industry word for ready-made colour options, split between warm and cold tones. Mint and peach join them as accent shades. That structure lets a plain base run wall to wall while a brighter inset marks a shower niche, a splashback or a cafe counter without changing material.

Vitra envisages the tiles being used in both residential and commercial spaces. In practice that means homes at one end and shops, restaurants, offices and hotels at the other. One range can therefore stretch from a flat bathroom to a busy lobby floor.

What makes this stand out for non-specialists is flexibility. Pick a neutral for the main floor. Add mint or peach where you want lift. Change size without changing colour family as you move from room to room, and the palette stays linked even when the plan changes.
