Sapienstone
Porcelain kitchen surfaces.
Engineered for living.
Supplied in the UK by PietraCasa.
The Iris Ceramica Group brand created specifically for kitchen worktops, producing large-format porcelain stoneware at 160x320cm.
SapienStone was founded in 2016 as the first ceramic brand in the world created specifically for kitchen worktops. Where most ceramic surfaces are adapted from floor and wall tile ranges, SapienStone was designed from the outset around the specific requirements of the kitchen surface.
All slabs are produced at 160x320cm, in 12mm and 20mm thicknesses. 4D Ceramics technology extends the full-body material through the entire thickness and adds a tactile surface dimension. Surfaces are heat-resistant to direct pan contact, scratch-resistant, stain-resistant and non-porous. NSF and Kosher certifications confirm suitability for direct food contact.
SapienStone partnered with TPB Topporzelanik Barcelona to integrate invisible induction hob technology directly into the worktop surface. The Breccia Rosa 4D, Muschelkalk and Travessa collections, launched in 2026, introduce three further material identities to the range.
Designed for every surface
Kitchen
SapienStone 12mm slabs are produced for kitchen worktops, islands, backsplashes and table surfaces. 4D Ceramics technology ensures cut edges and profiled details read as consistently as the face. Heat, scratch, stain and chemical resistance are all specified for daily kitchen use.
Furniture
The large 1600×3200mm format and consistent full-body material make SapienStone relevant for bespoke furniture applications including table tops, reception desks and cabinet surfaces.
Surfaces
20mm SapienStone slabs are suited to outdoor kitchen surfaces and exterior horizontal applications where the same material as the interior kitchen carries outside. UV and frost resistance are both certified.
Bathroom
SapienStone slabs are specified for bathroom vanity tops, washbasin units and shower surfaces, where the same technical performance that makes them relevant in the kitchen is equally valuable in a wet environment.

Did you know?
SapienStone was built on a single observation: the kitchen worktop is the most technically demanding surface in any domestic or commercial space, and no ceramic brand had previously been created specifically to address its requirements. 4D Ceramics technology produces a full-body material with through-body veining, a tactile surface dimension and a format large enough to resolve kitchen islands as a single continuous surface.
SapienStone's collaborations reinforce its position at the serious end of the kitchen market. The partnership with designer Jaime Beriestain produced the Dress Code collection, a refined line of ceramic surfaces for luxury living and commercial spaces. The integration with TPB induction technology allows cooking zones to sit flush and invisible within the SapienStone worktop. The Diesel Living creative partnership brings an urban aesthetic to selected surface collections. At KBIS 2026, SapienStone won the Best Product Award, presented in collaboration with sister brand Stonepeak.
In practice, SapienStone is relevant wherever a kitchen specification calls for the highest quality porcelain worktop. Collections work naturally alongside kitchen brands including Boffi, Dada, Valcucine and Poliform. PietraCasa supplies SapienStone with the technical knowledge to advise on fabrication, edge profiles and integrated sink options for each project.
