The film
We embrace the opportunity to bring challenging ideas to life.
A few minutes inside the studio: the slab yard, the saws and CNC, the hand finishing and the install. This is the team and the equipment behind every piece in the collection above.

Good to know
Fireplace questions, answered
A book-matched fireplace uses two or more consecutive slabs from the same block, arranged so the veining mirrors across the centre. The effect works best on full-height surrounds. We plan the mirror line on 12K scans of the actual slabs and dry-fit the pieces in the shop before installation. Best materials near a fireplace
Usually, yes. Book-matching requires consecutive slabs from the same block, often more material than a single-slab design, and more layout and fabrication time to align the veining. The cost depends on the stone and the size of the surround. Send us the fireplace dimensions and a photo for a written estimate.
