It is while on a short stay in Paris that Catherine discovers the Moroccan cement tiles. As she was getting her hair done in a salon of the Marais district, she noticed the floor and instantly fell in love. It was a floor covered with typical oriental style tiles in tones of grey. Immediately she asked where she could get these tiles? Only the owner knew, she was told, and she was out of the country at the moment. After many phone call attempts and unanswered emails, Catherine persisted and finally gets a contact in Morocco. Two years after seeing the tiles in the salon, the same tiles were also installed in the offices of Ramacieri Soligo in Montreal. Since then, she has developed a strong business relationship with the Moroccan tile supplier, and together they create exclusive collections for Ramacieri Soligo and Soligo, in Quebec city.

The most recent cement collection includes more patterns and colours. Catherine got inspired by the classical floral patterns, but for a more modern context. A more varied geometry with different shapes and lines can also be found in tones of grey, black, ecru, tender green, clear blue and navy blue.

This story of acquisition for the cement tiles, now called Medina, illustrates well the tenacious spirit of the Ramacieri Soligo team to distinguish itself in the tile industry.
