Tuscan Travertine Marble Table

in

Travertine marble is a valuable and versatile material used for both construction and high-end furniture.
The table in the photo, which is 3 cm thick, is an example of how travertine can be used to create unique and aesthetically appealing pieces.
Because of its durability and elegant, rustic design, travertine is ideal for making tables, kitchen countertops, flooring, interior and exterior cladding, stairs, and more.
Travertine is a natural stone that resists weather and temperature variations well, making it an ideal material for outdoor use. In addition, the classic Tuscan design gives the table an elegant and rustic look at the same time.
In general, a stone table like this requires little care and maintenance, but it is important to protect it from stains and abrasions. We recommend cleaning it regularly with mild soap and water and avoiding the use of harsh chemicals.
Tuscan-style stone tables come in different shapes and sizes, up to 230×100 cm or 130 cm diameter, with thicknesses of 2 or 3 cm.

The coloring of travertine varies from white to walnut, yellow to red, making it suitable for any type of environment.
Choosing travertine means opting for a high-quality material that guarantees elegance and sophistication in any setting. The classic travertine table has colored resin inlays, making it even more unique and original.
In summary, a 3 cm thick classic Tuscan travertine table can be an excellent choice as garden furniture, thanks to its durability and elegant, rustic design.

Particular Materials: Victoria Regia

in ,

Victoria Regia is a natural quartzite from Brazil, specifically from the state of Espírito Santo.

It owes its name to a wonder of nature, the Victoria Regia, a huge aquatic plant with large round leaves floating in the waters of the Amazon.

Indeed, the large cloudy shapes on shades of green in the slab are reminiscent of this plant.

Victoria Regia is resistant to corrosive substances, making it an ideal material for kitchen countertops and other machined items such as bathroom tops, sinks, and shower trays.

The dynamic design of this material makes Victoria Regia ideal for indoor floor and wall coverings.

Vitoria Regia quartzite definitely expresses its potential best with polishing, although we feel we can also recommend it with a satin surface.

 

Special Materials: Kalliston Marble

in , ,

Kalliston marble (from the Greek “kallistos,” meaning “beautiful”), is an elegant and precious type of white marble, characterized by a particularly snow-white color, with fine grain and gray veins: it is the softest and whitest variety of precious stone that can be found.
In appearance, it resembles white clouds floating lightly in the sky: impossible not to pause and admire its charm and beauty.

The charm of Kalliston marble can be accentuated by the type of finish that is applied to the material, enhancing the quality and naturalness of the stone.

Careful and skillful processing, in addition to improving the aesthetic appearance of the marble slab, acts on the physical characteristics of the material, making it, for example, less slippery for uses in wet areas (spas, pool edges, etc.) or more resistant to weathering and pollution.

Some types of finish make the stone more polished, smooth to the touch, while others give the material a rough texture, giving it a unique appearance.

 

The most commonly used finishes for Kalliston marble are polishing and brushing:

 

Polishing

This type of finish is used to make the surface of the marble perfectly smooth, mirror-like. The resulting shine brings out the details and beauty of the material. In addition, closing the pores of the stone provides better surface protection. Polishing is suitable for interior use.

Brushing

With brushing, the effect achieved is an ‘orange peel’, worn appearance that is smooth and pleasant to the touch.
This finish is applied to give the surface of the slab an aged appearance, making it very suitable for use as a kitchen floor or top.

 

Its uses

Kalliston white marble is very popular and appreciated because of its luxurious beauty, suitable for completing a design with a unique, modern, yet simple touch.

The main uses of Kalliston white marble are: artistic elements, flooring, wall facades, decorative functions, bathrooms, kitchens, furniture accessories, sculptures, ornaments and interior wall coverings.

Particular Materials: the Alabaster of Volterra

in ,

The Tuscan town of Volterra, has always been considered a landmark for the mining and working of alabaster: a delicate, lustrous and elegant material with which to create artistic and handcrafted works of the finest workmanship.

Volterra’s alabaster is recognized as the finest in Europe!

Each Volterra quarry generates a different type of alabaster based on the chemical composition of the soil: consequently, varieties less rich in inclusions are white and transparent, while inclusions of clay and metal oxides produce alabasters that tend to be gray with veins.
Amber, yellow and reddish colorations are due to metal oxides and hydroxides.

Volterra alabaster is a material with a translucent finish, and its uses are many, with decorative and interior design-related uses standing out.

For example, one can exploit its transparent surfaces to create plays of light and shadow in any environment from the kitchen to the bathroom via the living, home working and bedroom.

What is porcelain stoneware?

Porcelain stoneware is a compact, coloured, non-porous ceramic material. It owes its name to the process of creation, i.e. greification, which guarantees its excellent resistance. It is obtained from a mixture of various clays, sand and different natural substances, which are fired at a temperature of 1000/1300°C.

The special feature of stoneware slabs is that they exactly reproduce all the aesthetic characteristics of the materials they are inspired by. The main types of stoneware slabs on the market reproduce wood and marble.

Thanks to its extraordinary resistance, porcelain stoneware is the most suitable ceramic material for the flooring of highly stressed areas, such as department stores, workplaces or public buildings. But it also offers its full potential in residential spaces, both indoors and outdoors. It is a multifaceted, durable, versatile and beautiful material.

Special Materials: BLUE Onyx

in ,

Blue Onyx is a precious translucent light-blue stone: sometimes the material is traversed by thin white or yellow veins, while the background is homogeneous and often cloudy.

 

The degree of translucency varies according to the color, thickness and surface polish of the onyx slabs.

 

Blue Onyx is perfect for interior residential settings, as it embellishes the spaces in which it is laid; this material, due to its transparency, is particularly suitable for backlighting by allowing light to penetrate through.

 

This onyx marble, technically called just onyx, is particularly suitable for decorating the interiors of luxury environments such as: spas, yachts, and cruise ships, given its color reminiscent of the blue of tropical seas.
