Versatility of marble

A Yorkshire company with a strong international reputation, Lapicida works with top architects and designers as well as individual customers all over the world.

The business operates from an extraordinary three-acre complex in Knaresborough, the perfect place to find inspiration among hundreds of products for indoors and out.

In the adjacent workshops, Lapicida’s artisan stonemasons work alongside technicians operating advanced stoneworking equipment, together creating bespoke floors, walls and objects.

This melding of traditional stonemasonry and high-tech process sets Lapicida apart, enabling it to offer both natural stone and stone-alternative products including a wide range of porcelains and ceramics for virtually any situation and budget.

However, the gold standard will always be luxurious natural materials such as marble, especially when expertly cut to reveal the veining, with historic stonemasonry techniques such as bookmatching and vein-cutting seeing a new resurgence.

Marble is one of the most luxurious stones and, although undeniably timeless, is also a top trend for 2021. Each piece is completely unique, bringing warmth and depth to interiors. Hard-wearing as well as highly decorative, marble is the perfect choice for bringing drama and sophistication to interiors.

Lapicida offers countless varieties of natural marbles, each with its own particular characteristics. From highly distinctive veined white Arabescato, Calacatta and Carrara to subtle Crema Marfil, bold black Nero Marquina and pure white Thassos, marble is the natural choice for bringing a touch of luxury to the home.

Striking when used to create geometric patterns and statement walls and floors, marble is a remarkably versatile material. It can be used for floors and walls throughout the home as well as for skirtings, architraves, furniture, vanities, and shower trays.

Lapicida’s latest addition to its marble offering is Gramercy Park, a striking range of decorative tiles and slab. Inspired by the architecture of New York, the new collection features five contemporary tile styles from geometric patterned tiles to understated honed marble surfaces.

Offered in a palette of three classic colourways – ivory, soft grey and veined black – the products can be used individually or combined to create unique designs.

Lapicida offers an extensive collection of luxury stone for floors and walls together with freestanding pieces and a matchless range of bespoke services. Custom designed bathroom floors, walls and stone objects such as baths, basins and showertrays are made to order.
