Stone, brought to light.

Translucent slate reveals its mineral pattern as light passes through the stone. A softly luminous feature for living rooms, bedrooms, reception areas and hospitality spaces.

We source the stone and coordinate the layout, concealed LEDs, light tone and complete installation. Edges, seams and future lighting access are planned together for a finished wall tailored to your space.

Design visualizations. Natural color and grain vary; final materials are confirmed with physical samples. Light temperature affects the appearance.

Inside the material

Real stone.
A remarkably thin profile.

The natural-stone collections combine a thin stone face with a supporting backing. This gives the wall genuine mineral texture with much less bulk than a solid slab. Selected veneers also follow curved walls and columns.

Standard slate is approximately 1.5–3 mm thick; translucent slate is typically 2–4 mm. Thickness and available sheet sizes vary by finish. Rust-look and sculpted surfaces use different constructions.

The diagrams show standard and translucent slate constructions. Backlighting is designed separately to suit the wall.

Where it belongs

From private retreats to public spaces.

Residential interiors

Living rooms, bedrooms, entries and feature walls. Large-format surfaces create a continuous impression, with seams and edges planned around the room.

Commercial & hospitality

Restaurant walls, reception areas, hotel lobbies and retail interiors. Choose quiet texture or a luminous focal point to define the space.

Exterior walls

Suitable veneer ranges resist water and sunlight in normal exterior conditions. We specify the backing, finish and protection for the location; subtle outdoor color changes remain possible.

Wet areas & curved surfaces

Selected finishes work on bathroom walls and curves. Waterproofing and sealing are planned as part of the wall assembly. Sculpted Gaja is offered for interior walls only.

Designed for decorative wall surfaces. We do not specify this veneer for flooring or countertops. Outdoor lighting systems and wet-area details are reviewed for the individual project.

Your finished wall, handled

One coordinated installation.

We help select the finish, source the material, plan the grain and joints, prepare the wall and complete the installation. Illuminated projects include coordination of the backlighting and electrical scope, with access considered for future service.

A proposal for your space.

Wall area, finish, preparation and lighting determine the installed price. Stone is quoted individually, outside the standard panel calculator, with all inclusions clearly defined.

Discuss your stone wall

Before you choose.

Will my stone look exactly like the image?

Each natural sheet has its own mineral pattern. These interiors are design visualizations based on the selected finishes. We confirm the material with physical samples; for illuminated stone, we also review the light tone.

Can every finish be backlit?

No. Illuminated walls use the translucent slate collection: Bodhi, Maya, Prana, Punya, Surya and Tathastu. Classic veneer is installed without integrated backlighting.

How do I care for it?

Use gentle cleaning suited to natural stone and avoid abrasive products. A compatible sealer may be recommended, especially in wet or exposed areas. Softer finishes such as Mantra need additional care to limit scratching.
