Stoneware up to 120×120 cm and 13 new collections — Stargres targets architects

Stargres is a company based in Końskie, on Ceramiczna Street, and today one of the largest Polish producers of porcelain stoneware. It is part of Grupa Końskie — alongside Ceramika Końskie, Ceramika Color and the Bianca brand — which declares production of over 27 million square metres of tiles a year and exports to European markets. At this scale, a brand's position is decided not by production alone, but by how the material reaches a project.

Large format and technical parameters

The direction of the range is clear: ever larger slabs and increasingly technical applications. Stargres offers large-format stoneware in sizes up to 120×120 cm, technical tiles and outdoor products — in the STAR 2.0 and STAR 3.0 lines (thicker, for terraces and heavy-load zones). Product data sheets carry parameters that matter most in the design segment: slip-resistance classes from R9 to R12, low water absorption and frost resistance. This is the language used to speak to an architect and a developer, not a retail customer.

A season of premieres: 13 collections for 2026

For 2026, the producer has announced 13 new collections — among them Elements, Aragonit, Kyanit, Sawdust, Dessau and Organic. Some were shown at Cersaie 2025 and at Architect@Work meetings, and in the brand's communication the new series are described not as 'tile patterns' but as a stylistic statement for the designer. For a premium materials producer, such a season is both an opportunity and a challenge: over a dozen collections × multiple formats × surface finishes add up to an avalanche of materials, data sheets and visualisations, in which it is easy to lose track of the current version.

How the material actually reaches a project is becoming just as important — from ready-made CAD files to the technical parameters used to speak to an architect. That is a separate, growing front, which we cover separately.

For us at Method Press, Stargres is a model example of a premium producer where value is created at the intersection of product and presentation. Dozens of collections, formats and certificates can be either a single source of truth for the sales team and the architect — or scattered files in several places. The larger the portfolio, the bigger the gap between those two states.
