Stone

The stone tag gathers architecture and interior design projects in which stone – natural or engineered – plays a significant role in shaping the spatial identity of the project. This includes surfaces and elements made of marble, travertine, granite, natural stone, ceramic tiles and porcelain stoneware, materials widely used for flooring, wall cladding, counters, work surfaces and architectural details.

In retail, hospitality, food retail and interior design projects, stone introduces a distinctive material dimension defined by texture, depth and natural variations. Its presence contributes to creating durable and recognizable interiors, suitable for both high-traffic commercial environments and spaces dedicated to hospitality and dining.

Alongside natural stone, ceramic surfaces and porcelain stoneware have become increasingly important in contemporary interior architecture due to their durability, versatility and ability to achieve large formats and refined textures. These materials allow designers to combine aesthetic quality with technical performance across a wide range of spatial contexts.

Articles associated with the stone tag document interiors where stone or ceramic materials play a central role in defining surfaces, spatial composition and the overall atmosphere of the project.
