General description
The name for this type of Travertine comes from the iconic French term fumé or “smoked” thanks to which warm aromas leave a sweet, delicate caramel-like aftertaste.
The shades of this splendid Roman Travertine vary from a light cream to beige for the background, while the color palette for the veining includes a wide range of grays. The darker veining enthralls the eyes and engages a game of refraction and optical illusions. Its delicacy combined with the purity of the material and the glow of white color are a statement of elegance and refinement. Travertine Silver Fumè transmits a sense of peace and warmth, encouraging relaxation. Moreover, a wall covered in light colors helps creating a contrast with the furniture while emphasizing it.
This is a remarkably versatile natural material. Modern machinery can cut and shape it easily unleashing and supporting human creativity and creating stunning, unique designs. Roman travertine is a natural stone suitable for numerous uses. Its hardness and compactness make it a top choice for exterior cladding, in particular thanks to the low maintenance of the material itself. Also, it is highly resistant to extreme weather conditions. Silver Fumè tiles cover with style both walls and floors.
By dressing up the room with this kind of Roman Travertine the whole ambience will benefit from the sense of relaxation and warmth it has to offer. Our skilled stonemasons transform unpolished travertine in unique furnishing elements. Travertine tables for kitchens and living areas, countertops for halls and bathroom are just an example of the top-notch elements we manufactured for classy restaurants, hotels, and private houses. Each streak of Silver Fumè tells the story of a long journey started thousands of years ago and finally brought to light.
It is the perfect mix of rarity and natural excellence. It takes a truly sensitive admirer of natural stones to recognize its uniqueness and unlock all of its potential.
