Stone & Material Studies
Natural Stone Research
Overview
An ongoing study of natural stone — travertine, limestone, and marble — documenting finish, veining, absorbency, and how each surface behaves in raking light.
Concept
Material selection is treated as a design act in itself. Each slab is photographed, finished three ways, and paired against wood and textile to test the atmosphere it creates.
Scope
- Material Research
- Sourcing
- Mood Boards
- Client Consultation
Materials
- Travertine
- Calacatta marble
- Limestone
- Terrazzo
- Lime plaster
Finish
Honed, brushed, and split-face samples are compared side by side in daylight.
Pairing
Each stone is tested against oak, linen, and brass to confirm undertone.
Application
Studies conclude with recommended use, edge, and sealing.
