Onyx for architecture and design

Onyx is a rare, very peculiar stone. It is a compact natural stone encompassing a vast spectrum of vivid colours with countless warm, cold and neutral shades. It has an extraordinary resistance and displays very classy aesthetic traits; thanks to its translucent effect, it can be used with multiple light sources for backlit applications and to achieve surprising lighting effects.

It is the undisputed protagonist in modern architecture, both in refined residential places and in hotels, restaurants and luxury wellness centres. Onyx can indeed create evocative narratives shedding light on the slow and secret process that this natural stone has undergone in the subsoil.

A wide variety of monochromatic, striped or multicolour onyx can be found in nature, and many more are yet to be discovered. Among the most common are black onyx, white onyx and green onyx.
