Calacatta marble is widely recognised and respected as a timeless option for a high-end kitchen. As a rarer type of marble, each slab is made that much more special. Its range of subtle colouring creates a versatility, meaning it can be elegantly paired with a range of materials.
At the Kensington Villa, Calacatta Paonazzo worktops take centre stage. The bold, smoky grey veining is a striking accompaniment to the fluted oak detailing. This marble forms a durable surface for the worktop and backsplashes, perfect to accommodate busy family life. The clean and crisp kitchen palette adds a beautiful backdrop for hosting. White oak veneer cabinetry and pantry units elongate the white background of the marble up into the cream walls.
The emerald veining of the Calacatta Verde provides a unique visual statement in this city kitchen. The marble has been placed between dark stained oak cabinetry for a clean architectural finish. Patinated brass is used for long handles that fit down the vertical of the generously sized cabinets. The premium stone completes this contemporary take on a traditional London Townhouse.
Mews Lane Residence features Calacatta Vagli Rosatto. This strand of Calacatta marble has low water absorption, perfect for a kitchen worktop. Crystallized veins of blue, pink and grey blur into one another creating a luxurious composition of colours. In this case, the marble has been honed leaving it with a matte surface rather than a full polished shine. A contrasting leathered Marron Imperiale marble has a gleaming polished surface with much darker tones. This contrast adds a balance and refined visual intrigue to the kitchen. The hand-painted, dark cabinetry brings out the deeper tones in the stone to form a cohesive space.
Once sealed, this marble is a long lasting solution for a family kitchen and day to day tasks are elevated to feel luxurious with this opulent material. At Lanerring we often look to this stunning stone to amplify impressive design moments.
