The careful choice of finishes

The careful choice of finishes for the living area and the kitchen environment resulted in the use of Laminam ceramic slabs. A large wall in Calce Nero, engraved with slats, acted as a backdrop, hiding a glass door that opened to a view of the handcrafted kitchen. The central island is made of Calacatta Oro Venato in a Book Match composition. Its monolithic aesthetic is interrupted by the insertion of an oak shelf that transforms it into a cantilever table. Natural wood meets the Laminam ceramic material’s aesthetics and excellent properties which was also chosen for the worktop and the integrated sink.
