It is a rustic-chic collection available in natural and honed versions in which the typical characteristics of cross-cut stone are accentuated by the textured, porous look of limestone. Produced in 60x120 cm, 60x60 cm and 30x60 cm sizes and a thickness of 9 mm, ALPES RAW enhances the intense, heterogeneous colors of stone to lend character and personality to any space.
