Marazzi USA
Artea Stone
Glazed Porcelain
Artea Stone takes inspiration from the natural stone walls of prehistoric caves - veined by the constant trickle of water, smoked by open fires, burnished by the contact of everyday life. Dramatic veining and a gentle puddling of colors reminiscent of travertine marble preserves heart connections to ancestral influences.

Muted, neutral tones equally bring serenity to a mono-chromatic decor or serve as a subtle background palette for bold, vivid counterpoints of paint, furniture and fixtures.
