Invisible® Sunset and Cipollino Greywave

The latest marbles from the Exclusive Collection by Antolini®

The Exclusive Collection by Antolini® is constantly being updated with Mother Nature’s latest wonders. An internationally-recognized leader in the stone sector, the Verona-based brand’s curiosity and passion have always spurred them to explore the world’s remotest locations in order to discover the most extraordinary natural stones. This experience has led to the creation of an expansive catalogue that includes around ninety natural stones for which Antolini® holds the exclusive rights. Each element in the catalogue is carefully selected in order to represent the brand’s authentic and unique style.

Among the latest additions to the collection, two stunning marbles presented at Marmomac 2024: Invisible® Sunset and Cipollino GreyWave.

Invisible® Sunset, a true explosion of visual and sensory emotions, is an extraordinary marble, the surface of which features touches of ochre and nuances of brown that expand across a dusty, desaturated, almost sugar-paper blue expanse like the brushstrokes of a fresco. A true gift of nature where the sky is ablaze with beauty, amazement and wonder, where the setting sun, as it slowly descends, almost seems to become ensnared in winter’s bare branches and then, reflecting itself, dives into the blue of the cold, intense sea.

With its striated appearance, the result of irregular stratifications, Cipollino marble has fascinated us since ancient times. The surface of Cipollino GreyWave is made particularly vibrant by the mysterious play of white, grey and black veining that intertwine to create a unique, unrepeatable pattern. Exciting and fascinating, its surface offers up icy white expanses, apparently immobile and yet flowing, pushing forward and establishing their own path on the slopes of a mysterious mountain.

Among the most refined and sought-after materials, marble is able to give any environment a touch of timeless elegance. As a metamorphic rock, it is composed largely of carbonates, making it particularly porous and subject to superficial micro-corrosion when it comes into contact with certain substances that are most commonly used in environments such as kitchens and bathrooms.

And it is precisely to allow the beauty of Mother Nature to be fully enjoyed in these environments that Antolini has developed Azerocare®Plus, an innovative process that amplifies the visual power of its natural stones while protecting their surfaces from external agents, such as stains and corrosion due to even brief contact with oil-based or acidic natural substances.

An exclusive high-tech process, tested for 24 hours, that offers permanent protection for marble, onyx, and soft quartzites, without chromatic or tactile alterations. Anti-corrosive, stain-resistant, hygienic and easy to clean, Azerocare®Plus is an environmentally friendly and food-safe surface, essential for a kitchen that is both prestigious and functional.
