Cipollino Apuano Marble features a sophisticated field of pale sage and cream, delineated by rhythmic waves of deep charcoal and emerald veining. The stone is composed of complex, layered strata where fine white calcite bands are compressed between denser green and grey mineral deposits. This dynamic arrangement creates significant horizontal movement, with the darker mineral bands flowing predictably across the lighter crystalline field.
External building envelopes and primary interior wall systems can incorporate Cipollino Apuano Marble to provide a high-contrast, natural finish on large-scale surfaces. The stone may be utilized for multi-story facades as well as public lobby walls and elevator cores, ensuring material continuity throughout the project. Architects can specify these panels for main entrances and transition areas where the prominent mineral layers provide a strong visual anchor for the architectural composition.
The StonePly system consists of a thin layer of stone bonded to aluminum honeycomb backing to ensure each panel maintains a consistent thickness. This configuration results in a reduced weight, which simplifies the logistical requirements for both interior and exterior installations. This specialized assembly delivers the full mineral character and authentic surface of Cipollino Apuano Marble in a versatile, manageable format.

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.
