General description
Roman Travertine Ocean Blue in cross cut processing inspires a a walk in nature where water and earth meet: recalling the colors of the water and the earth. The fascinating pattern of this trim was created with cross cut processing: the slabs were cut perpendicularly to the roman travertine quarry bench layer, donating to the surface a neat beige background with flows of darker tonalities. Ocean Blue presents delicate blue waves, resembling the constant motion of sea waves.
A natural masterpiece perfect for decorating any surface: travertine typical durability is best suited for cladding and paving, while its resistance makes it appropriate for both interior and exterior design and decor. Roman Travertine Ocean Blue in cross cut is an exlusive natural stone. With its peculiar surfacing inspired many projects, from mosaics to furnishing objects, such as tables and countertops.
With this particular trim we are paying homage to the water as a natural element. Water in fact is fundamental to the creation of travertine: without mineral water springs the process of sedimentation would not take place, and we could not revel in its presence. Our travertines are extracted from the Barco Quarry, the most ancient quarry of Roman Travertine: the same that provided Romans with the construction material for their worldwide appreciated monuments.
