General description

Silver Platinum travertine is an extraordinarily harmonious natural stone. Its intricate pattern resembles the moment when the sky and the earth meet: the streaks of blue stand out piercing earth’s beige calm tones.

A timeless and spaceless natural stone. Splinters of light filter through white vibrating waves that amplify the hypnotic power of Platinum. In its name the stone contains the very essence of silver as chemical element: malleable, highly unreactive, resistant, precious, and a silverish-white color.

Its elegant look is a statement of refinement for interior and exterior designs. Dainty silver veining stands out on a beige, neat background: a wall covered with Silver Platinum travertine will evoke a sense of sophisticated calmness. In interior designs the depth of the room is an important factor: the horizontal lines of the veining help with it, creating the optical illusion of a bigger room. A floor covered in Silver Platinum will enhance the depth of the space and evoke a sense of tranquility, perspective and stability. The shimmering tones of Silver Platinum are a blessing and form natural mosaics and patterns that benefit from the precious acquisition of this unique piece.

Silver Platinum Travertine is an exclusive production from Barco quarries located in Tivoli. Romans discovered this natural stone and used it as construction material, praising its durability and resistance. We went further and transformed this gift from nature in a high-quality natural masterpiece that ensures sheer elegance to any space.

This Italian original travertine is perfect for establishing a visceral connection with nature. The positive effects nature has on our body and soul are countless. A room dressed up with Roman Travertine is like a walk in nature, like a hug to a tree: a personal, direct connection with nature. It is a natural stone with a secret power: it can calm, soothe and regenerate our spirit.
