Italcotto
Captivating sanware at captivating prices
One of Kite’s first clients, Italcotto, asked Kite to revitalise what had become an indistinguishable presence in the busy marketplace of tiles, taps and bathware. They also needed us to address the false consumer perception that they were an expensive place to shop.
Kite created a new brand style, and a premise of ‘Captivating Tiles, Captivating Prices’. Through a number of campaigns and promotions, Kite cemented Italcotto’s current status as one of Cape Town’s prime tile and bathware destinations.

To advertise the new Stonetech tile range to architects, we created a xylophone with the tiles and delivered it to them. A card attached to the xylophone sticks explained the ’tiler’s ping’, a building trade term for tapping a tile to check its quality. By having the tiles laid out as a xylophone the architects are encouraged to ‘ping’ them, thus hearing and seeing the quality of the tiles.
