“I choose a block of marble and cut away everything that is not necessary. “ Auguste Rodin

 

Material: Travertine

A marble with a compact and homogeneous structure, particularly suitable for a range of applications in construction and architecture. The background color is marked by striking veining that lends a certain brightness to the whole. The overall tone varies slightly depending on the type of cut. If the cut is parallel to the vein, the marble will appear more shaded, whereas if the cut is perpendicular, the color will be more intense.

Classic travertine features a compact and homogeneous structure and is suitable for all types of workmanship, from fine small decorative objects to interior and exterior cladding. Its pronounced porosity evokes classical Roman architecture and highlights the unique beauty of natural stone.

Travertine fully expresses its decorative potential whether left natural or subjected to processes such as filling, polishing, sandblasting, buffing, and antiquing.

Appreciated for its remarkable resistance to impacts, wear, and even heavy loads, it is often used for the creation of floors and staircases for both indoor and outdoor environments. Widely used in outdoor furnishings, as it proves to be minimally affected by moisture, water, and temperature fluctuations.

Strength and durability, however, are not the only characteristics of this natural stone, which is in fact also used to great effect for minute workings, decorations and furnishings. Its “natural” appearance meets to perfection the modern predilection for untreated materials, rediscovering a new contact with Nature.
