Lithos brings a modern spin to the powerful, expressive beauty of Portland stone. by Sara Costi Conserved amid the forbidding, jagged cliffs of Portland, on the coast of the English Channel, in the county of Dorset, are the enduring traces of a past able to capture the beauty of Portland Stone, the inspiration for this collection. A recurring feature of a number of iconic institutional buildings, such as the Palace of Westminster, the Tower of London, the foundation stone of London Bridge, the British Museum, the headquarters of the Bank of England, the National Gallery in London and Dublin and the UN headquarters in New York, Portland Stone has travelled slowly through the centuries to bring us its impressive beauty, preserved by time. This collection is a modern tribute to the timeless allure of a charismatic, powerfully expressive stone. Delicate shades of colour, soft cloudy effects and subtle touches of light envelop the tiles in the new Lithos collection, embellishing it with distinctive graphic details to create simple yet sophisticated surfaces able to adapt to all kinds of applications and living spaces. The six collection colours (Lithos Beige, Bianco, Grigio, Nero, Taupe and Tortora) come with a thickness of 9 mm in the sizes 30x60 cm and 60x60 cm, with an anti-slip surface, and in the new R10 natural finish, which combines a pleasant appearance and a delicate tactile sensation with the technical characteristics required for increasingly international design projects.
