Natural stones from around the world: A year of Beauty Hunting
Over the past year, we have travelled through quarries, landscapes and continents in search of precious, rare materials capable of inspiring unique projects.
This is what being Beauty Hunters means: observing, understanding and personally selecting each block, bringing extraordinary surfaces to our showroom to share with architects, designers and clients. Every journey is a new opportunity to discover authentic beauty and imagine its place in the interior design projects of tomorrow.
In Brazil, in search of Blue Sodalite
Brazil is a land to which we are deeply connected. It was here, years ago, that our CEO Gian Luca Budri discovered a stone with hypnotic colours and an unmistakable identity: Blue Sodalite.
Since then, we have returned to this part of the world every year to find the finest slabs of this extraordinary material. Over time, we have built a broad and distinctive selection, made possible by privileged access to the rarest and most precious blocks.
Today, Marmo Elite is the only company in the world with over 1,000 square metres of Blue Sodalite slabs immediately available in stock: a collection that makes the full expressive power of this stone instantly accessible.
In Turkey, between Ivory Onyx and Rosso Lepanto
Turkey was another key destination in this year of research. Its geological history offers materials with intense shades, spectacular veining and an unrepeatable character.
We returned here twice: first to select delicate, luminous Ivory Onyx blocks; then to choose some of the finest Rosso Lepanto blocks, a stone with a powerful presence, capable of bringing depth and personality to interiors.
For us, every block represents the beginning of a possibility: a surface to enhance, a light to follow, a space to give character to.
In Pakistan, hunting for Green Onyx
Among the most recent stops on our journey was Pakistan, a land of onyx with intense tones and extraordinary natural shades.
Here, we selected numerous Green Onyx blocks, chosen for their quality and chromatic richness.
Coming soon to our Showroom: a brand-new white onyx block
The latest journey of our Beauty Hunter, Gian Luca Budri, ended only recently, but its result is already on its way: an impressive White Onyx block, soon to be available in our showroom.
A new discovery that adds to a year shaped by research, selection and beauty. Because our work does not end with choosing the material: it continues in the way that material is interpreted, enhanced and transformed into a project.
We look forward to welcoming you in September, after the summer closure, to discover up close the new beauties that have arrived at Marmo Elite.
You can find us in Domegliara (VR), at Via Adige 94.
