Close-up

Every veneer is one of a kind. The image shows the stone; your piece will look different.

The story

Emperador means emperor, and the stone carries itself that way: dark, calm, with a severity that has nothing to prove. Its ground is anthracite and smoky grey, churned like a sky just before a storm. Then the veins flash through it: white calcite that grew into the cracks of the rock over millions of years and sealed them again. What once broke is now its drawing.

Polished, the grey begins to glow and the lightning stands still. Every veneer holds a different moment of the storm; no two are alike. A stone for anyone who finds black too strict and white too loud.

Properties

Polished, deep, with veins that never repeat. In the stone trade almost every polishable stone is called marble – we tell you what it really is geologically.
