11 Mar 2025 CW Team

The New Classtone Collection reimagines nature’s finest stones with advanced technology and elegant finishes. Calacatta Luxe mirrors the grandeur of Italian marble with bold veining and comes in Décor Polished and Ultra Soft finishes. Calista Silk, inspired by natural limestone, offers a warm, sophisticated appeal with a soft Silk finish. Abu Dhabi White Silk, influenced by Middle Eastern architecture, features a neutral-toned surface with a fine-textured sheen, adding understated luxury.

The Fusion Collection brings together natural beauty and contemporary design. Mont Blanc Silk recreates the timeless charm of white quartzite with a smooth, matte texture. Mar del Plata Slate offers deep, ocean-inspired patterns with a slate-like texture, ideal for modern and industrial interiors.

Blending classical and contemporary aesthetics, the Classtone and Steel Collections introduce Calacatta Roma Silk, a reinterpretation of Carrara marble with soft ochre and grey veining. In contrast, Metropolitan Steel Touch captures the raw appeal of brushed steel for an urban, sophisticated look.

For those who favour bold, organic textures, Colorado Dunes Silk evokes natural sandstone with earthy tones, while Wulong Slate mimics the deep, moody textures of weathered rock. Inspired by the Himalayas, Everest Sunrise Silk features delicate veining with a golden shimmer, bringing warmth and elegance to interiors. Available in multiple finishes, it is a versatile choice for refined spaces.
