Inspired by Ancient Rome

Calacatta Roma is a new finish that fuses elegance and timeless beauty. Recently honoured by Architectural Digest in its prestigious 2024 Great Design Award, Calacatta Roma is inspired by the splendour of Ancient Rome’s Italian Carrara marble, combining classic elegance with modern sophistication. Its ochre and grey veins stand out against the white background, providing sobriety and distinction. It is an ideal choice for spaces that require a touch of luxury and refinement, while maintaining durability and functionality.

Sintered stone

Crafted through an ingenious process of extreme heat and pressure, Neolith’s surfaces withstand daily wear and tear. Highly resistant to scratches, heat, stains, and UV radiation, sintered stone is an enduring material retaining its sleek appearance for generations. Its robust nature ensures all manner of applications, from shower enclosures to worktops, remain beautiful, even under the most demanding circumstances. In today's fast-paced world, Neolith offers effortless maintenance. Non-porous and hygienic, it needs only mild soap and water for cleaning, reducing upkeep time for homeowners.

Thanks to its high-performance design and functionality, Neolith is suitable to numerous application types including in kitchens and bathrooms, interior cladding, and bespoke furnishings for indoor and outdoor use in hotel, hospitality, commercial and residential settings. Neolith surfaces also have the lowest crystalline silica content range in the market, below 9%, as it doesn’t add crystalline silica sand as a raw material.

As part of its sustainability dedication, Neolith was the first company in the materials industry to achieve carbon neutrality, having offset its main sources of emissions in 2019. Besides that, Neolith recycles the totality of the industrial water used and 100% of the electricity used during the production process comes from renewable sources.

Sintered stone offers a vast array of colours and textures, appealing to both designers and homeowners. Whether replicating the allure of marble, the ruggedness of concrete, the warmth of wood, or the sophistication of granite, it effortlessly complements any aesthetic vision.

The SBID Awards have firmly established themselves as one of the most prestigious recognitions of design excellence in the interior design industry. Winners will be awarded the crystal SBID International Design Awards 2024 trophy at the official ceremony, held at the Royal Lancaster London.
