Arabescato Orobico Marble is a dramatically banded marble composed of sweeping layers in charcoal, ash gray, taupe, rust, and warm caramel. Bold, undulating striations move diagonally across the slab, intersected by crystalline veins and deep shadowed pockets that create remarkable depth. The composition feels geological and powerful, with intense movement and rich tonal variation throughout.
Exterior applications may include façade cladding, architectural feature walls, and entry portals where Arabescato Orobico Marble can be expressed across prominent vertical surfaces. Interior installations often extend to statement lobby walls, hospitality focal surfaces, bar fronts, and other vertically oriented feature installations where the marble is used as a dominant architectural element.
Arabescato Orobico Marble is fabricated as a StonePly panel by bonding a thin layer of the stone to an aluminum honeycomb backing. This panel construction substantially reduces overall weight while maintaining the visual character associated with solid marble. The finished composite panels are produced for incorporation into architectural wall systems and vertically oriented stone cladding installations..

You are probably more familiar with marble than you realize. From Michelangelo's mighty carrara marble David, to the intricately carved cenotaphs of the Taj Mahal, to the royal Marble Arch of Buckingham Palace, marble has been the stuff of civilized architecture and art for centuries. Being a form of limestone, it is softer than granite, making it more susceptible to deterioration and wear but a simple, regular maintenance routine will keep marble looking beautiful.
Marble has a soft, sophisticated aura. Small interior spaces will especially benefit from marble's less "busy" feel when compared to granite thanks to its large, flowing veins.
Certain marbles can be “book matched,” meaning the edges of two panels are paired to create a mirror image. Book matching's effect is best expressed on large panels.
