The poetics of the inside out
Part of the Milo Collection, Avesso reframes the way we look at ceramics by highlighting the back of the pieces, transforming geometries into the protagonists of the design. This inversion reveals a new architectural language, where aesthetics and sensoriality go hand in hand.
The series features two exclusive surfaces, one inspired by the past and the other by the present, establishing a creative dialog between memory and contemporaneity. With this approach, Avesso reaffirms Eliane's role in offering ceramic tiles with a high aesthetic impact for sophisticated architectural projects.

Global recognition of design
For more than a decade, the Architecture Hunter Awards have celebrated projects that transform architecture on different scales. The presence of Avesso among the 2025 finalists reinforces the strength of Brazilian design on the international stage and highlights Eliane's ability to create solutions that unite innovation, identity and history.
Inspiration that transcends borders
At the same time, Avesso is a reflective tile. It connects history, innovation and ceramic language in a sensitive reading that dialogues with architects and designers in Brazil and around the world. The recognition at the AHA places the series among the most relevant initiatives in contemporary architecture, transforming ceramics into a tool for architectural, aesthetic and cultural expression.
