MATERIAL & ORIGIN

Stones are created and shaped by history, through shifting continents, seas and earthquakes. Some tell their story through banded layers, others through fossils. And it is here, in their sheer variation, that we find their beauty.

Material 01

Name: Travertine

Origin: Iran

Colour: Different tones of red

Characteristics: Fibrous

Travertine is a dense, compacted form of limestone. A sedimentary rock formed by the evaporation of spring water, rich in calcium and carbonate, both in rivers near waterfalls and in caves by deposits of thermal water in subterranean cavities. This travertine is coloured and banded red due to the presence of iron compounds in the area.
