CARRARA MARBLE COLLECTION

CARRARA MARBLE COLLECTION

Carrara Marble is a metamorphic rock formed from limestone, quarried in Carrara, Italy. Like other natural stones, each piece of Carrara marble varies in color, veining, and shades. The surface of white Carrara marble features various shades and patterns of gray veining and streaks, significantly enhancing the value of any space it decorates. Depending on its physical characteristics, Carrara can be classified into different types, such as Bianco Carrara (White Carrara) and Statuary Carrara (Statuario Carrera). Specific names are assigned to each type of marble to distinguish this stunning material from similar products, such as Calacatta, Dolomiti, and Venato. Bianco Carrara marble was often used in architecture by the ancient Greeks and Romans, primarily as exterior cladding, and was favored as a sculpting material, especially during the Renaissance. For instance, Michelangelo’s David is made of Carrara marble. Today, White Carrara marble is commonly used in home design as countertops and floor tiles due to its clean, aesthetic qualities.

Bianco Carrera marble is a great interior design element that is widely used for kitchens as well as bathroom floor and wall coverings in homes. In addition to its wide range of residential usage, it is also often used in commercial settings such as hotels and restaurants.
