Florim | Stone collection

New material textures inspired by natural stone

Two types of granite, four limestones, one porphyry, three travertines, and one marble: these are the new additions to Florim Stone, with material and three-dimensional effects increasingly inspired by the tactile workings of natural stones with colored masses. 

Montpellier, Florim Stone

There are two finishes: Matt Leather 2024, obtained through an acid-etching or sandblasting process followed by brushing—the surfaces obtained through this technology are Stone Montpellier, Stone Dordogne, Stone Chablis, Shake Travertine, Pearl Travertine, Gold Travertine, Blue Granite, and Black Granite—and Matt Silk 2024, with a general abrasion of the stone surface with coarse wheels and a subsequent refinement with finer wheels that make the surface soft to the touch but not reflective—this family includes Stone Jura, Marble Aubisque, and Purple Stone.
