Marbleised veins of wood give rise to Corteccia^®. This is an exotic material particularly recommended for interiors, a soft quartzite that is also suitable for exterior use. Corteccia^® is a soft quartzite with a white background and veins at 45° of a colour that goes beyond the hues usually associated with soft quartzite, the greys and the whites: hints of brown, cream and orange in the veins make Corteccia an ideal choice for rooms of more contemporary sizes. It recalls the light covering of the trees with its shades and speckles, a natural tribute of stone to the great trees that tell of history and life through their bark. The colour of this soft quartzite brings warmth to the whole room, entering in harmony with any furnishings, with hues of coffee or grey through to white, natural wood. With its linear veining, Corteccia is also perfect for worktops, floors, walls and kitchen surfaces. This is a hard stone, compact and resistant, with fine grain and a sugary appearance.
