Marble & Natural Stone
The Allure of Natural Stone
Natural stone brings unique character to luxury bathrooms. Whether it’s the pristine white of Carrara marble, the rich hues of travertine or the striking beauty of onyx and quartzite, each brings its own character and charm. Contrasting veins ripple through each variety to create their signature look, while their cool, silky texture has captivated humanity for centuries. Revered by ancient civilisations for their sculptural and translucent qualities, natural stone transcends time, from iconic monuments like the Taj Mahal to modern designs embraced by contemporary architects and designers.
Timeless Appeal of Natural Stone
Beyond beauty, every stone tells a story that’s millions of years in the making. Marble metamorphoses from limestone, resulting in a stone known for its distinctive veining and luxurious feel. Travertine, with its warm hues and natural pitting, brings a rustic charm, while onyx, a type of chalcedony, captivates with its translucent qualities. Quartzites like Blue Macauba offer exceptional strength and resilience, making them perfect for countertops, basins and wall coverings, while showcasing breathtaking patterns.
Unique Stone Creations for Bathrooms
The uniqueness of natural stone means that no two pieces are ever the same. Each stone slab tells a story, serving as a stunning focal point in luxury bathrooms.
Our skilled artisans expertly carve these natural stones into exquisite washbasins, bespoke vanity units and luxurious bathtubs, enhancing the aesthetic appeal of any bathroom space.
Stylish Pairings with Natural Stone
Stone offers timeless elegance and endless design possibilities. Marble's classic veining pairs beautifully with warm wood, creating a sophisticated yet inviting look. For a calming aesthetic, travertine complements soft colour palettes and pairs well with gold fixtures for added warmth. Onyx, known for its striking translucence, combines well with sleek, modern fixtures to create a dramatic effect. Whether your aesthetic leans towards contemporary elegance or timeless sophistication, natural stone offers stunning visual interest and lasting allure.
Creating bespoke bathroom solutions that showcase the timeless beauty of natural stone
Is Natural Stone Suitable for the Bathroom?
Stone's timeless appeal makes it an ideal choice for bathroom spaces. With proper care, it resists water and product spills, maintaining its stunning appearance. Some stones do require a little extra care, but their unique beauty is easily preserved with a simple routine. For those who cherish the timeless elegance of stone, this care is a rewarding ritual. A light maintenance routine is as simple as wiping down your stone basin, bath or shower tray daily, a weekly clean and sealing a couple of times a year.
Craftsmanship Behind Exquisite Bathroom Pieces
Driven by a passion for the beauty of natural stone, we meticulously select slabs of marble, onyx, travertine and quartz for their remarkable veining and texture. Our stones, sourced from premier quarries in Tuscany, Spain, Turkey, Iran and Brazil, are brought to our Valencia facilities, where the transformation into exquisite stone bathtubs, sinks and shower trays begins.
Crafting Marble Bathtubs
Creating a timeless marble bath is an art form that demands extraordinary care and precision. Our expert stonemasons cut each bathtub from a single block, then meticulously carve and hand-finish the form with unmatched artistry. Each marble bathtub reflects over fifty hours of dedicated work, promising unparalleled luxury and timeless elegance.
Transforming Raw Stone into Refined Luxury
Beyond our marble baths, we craft exquisite products in travertine, onyx, quartz and more. Each raw stone block is precision-cut into slabs, then expertly washed and polished to achieve finishes from polished and honed to custom textures. Our artisans meticulously shape and hand-sand each piece, creating stunning sinks, shower trays, and accessories that embody our signature minimalist luxury. Every detail is a testament to craftsmanship and the beauty of natural stone.
Crafted for Longevity and Quality
To ensure lasting beauty in bathroom settings, we apply a protective impregnating sealer to our stone products. Every step of our production is meticulously inspected, guaranteeing your products meet the highest standards of quality and performance. Whether marble, travertine, or other natural stone, each piece is a work of art — brilliant, flawless and uniquely yours.

Marble & Stone Finishes Available
Polished
Honed
Sandblasted
Bookmatched
Translucent
A glossy highly reflective surface, resulting in a supremely refined surface. Polished marble is the least porous finish, giving it additional protection. This finish won’t stain as easily as other finishes can and does not demand the same frequency of sealing. Plus, its shine offers a semi-reflective surface that is both attractive and excellent at hiding fingerprints.
A matte to low sheen gloss, favoured for its smooth, velvety surface that’s very pleasant to the eye and to the touch. This finish brings out the full character of the stone, while softening its colour. As it is more porous, it requires more frequent sealing than a polished piece, but it is also more resistant to scratches and excellent at masking etches.
A pressurised flow of sand and water creates an aged, matte finish. The natural colour and pattern of the stone is subtly softened, with the surface displaying a uniform texture of light dots and grooves.
A common decorative technique used with natural stone is that of book-matching. This is where a single block of stone is cut into two or more slabs, each being polished. We then place the slabs end to end, so that their veining creates a mirror image, continuing from one slab to the next in a continuous flow.
All varieties of onyx marble have translucent portions in each slab. By experimenting with the finish and the lighting source, it’s possible to achieve breathtaking backlit onyx effects.

Understanding Natural Stone Structure
Nature never repeats herself. Every slab of natural stone is unique and unrepeatable, as is each piece we craft from them. Variations in pattern, colouring and the intensity of veining are to be expected, and it is this wonderful variety that gives the stone its individual beauty.
Fissures and pitting naturally occur, too – testimony to the millions of years it takes for these stones to form. Appropriate use of stone sealing products will seal these tiny spots and helps protect against water damage and staining.
