  • VESALE STONE by Marazzi USA captures the look of refined slates found in the ancient hills of Italy and transports that simpler, organic building material to glazed porcelain for modern dwellings and public areas.

  • BUILDING PRODUCTS Magazine (9/21/2006)

"Young people, more exposed to what we call the luxury market, 'get it' when it comes to furnishing or buying their first home in terms of more sophisticated styling.
