The timeless ocean meets the imposing cliffs of Dorset, reminiscent of the intricate design of stone porcelain tiles. Portland stone is a map where time has left precious traces: fossil inlays, shells and sedimentary inclusions that preserve the memory of place. Heritage is a ceramic tribute to the beauty and authority of a limestone traditionally used to clad Britain's most important institutional buildings: Buckingham Palace’s façade, Westminster Abbey, the National Gallery and the United Nations Headquarters in New York. Placed in contemporary residential and commercial settings, Heritage reveals the more intimate side of Portland stone. Like sunbeams gently caressing the shores of the North Seas, the stone effect of Heritage lightly coats surfaces, creating warm and elegant atmospheres.
Bare earth envelops the sedimentary rocks of the Isle of Portland. Beige encapsulates its warm, earthy hues, intensely characterised by the presence of microfossils typical of natural stone.
