How does my Onyx Marble comprise a responsible origin and manufacturing process?
Onyx Marble is a 100% natural product which in our case is mined in quarries overground in different Mexican federal states. Strict public procurement procedures ensure that legal standards are respected. Depending on geographical origin the stone varies in its composition, colour and untamed beauty. Our stones are processed by a small and renown stonemasonry firm with most work still being performed by experienced hands to ensure highest quality. We regularly visit the workshop to select the most precious stones and pieces for you. Due to its natural composition, our Onyx Marble is not exposed to excessive artificial treatment or refining processes. Our stonemasons follow-up on long family traditions of high-class craftsmanship and are very proud of their work.
What makes Onyx Marble so unique for my interior design?
It is the infinite variety of translucent colors and pattern that nature aesthetically merges in Onyx Marble. For centuries natural Onyx Marble from Mexico has been fascinating Aztec princes, Spanish noblemen, brilliant merchants and wealthy entrepreneurs. Until today the stone’s stunningly diverse and simultaneously soft surface continues to illuminate and warm up our cozy private homes, working spaces and guest areas. With efficient and diverse electrical lightening we are able to amplify the fire and magic of the expressive translucent structures within the stone.
