Exploring the World of Living Marble with Luce Di Carrara and Aura Surfaces
Aura Surfaces recently had the privilege of visiting Henraux, the prestigious home of Luce Di Carrara. This journey into the heart of Italian marble craftsmanship was not only awe-inspiring but also a testament to the beauty and versatility of what Luce Di Carrara calls “Living Marble.” We’ve partnered with this iconic brand to bring you luxury surfaces that are unmatched in quality, sustainability, and breath-taking design. Join us as we reflect on our immersive experience and explain how we can bring this luxurious material into your projects.
Journey to the Source: Living Marble in the Mountains
Our journey began where every piece of marble originates – in the majestic mountains of Carrara. Standing amidst towering, cathedral-like formations, we saw the birthplace of some of the world’s most exquisite marble: Calacatta, Statuario, and Versilia. Surrounded by the remarkable natural beauty and sheer magnitude of 20,000kg marble blocks, the experience of being at the quarry was unparalleled. Every vein and hue of the stone told its own story, showing the living essence of this natural wonder – a quality that Luce Di Carrara proudly brings to every piece they produce.
The Art of Transformation: From Raw Blocks to Masterpieces
As we descended the mountain, the excitement only grew. The Henraux showroom and museum showcased the true potential of marble through stunning displays of sculptures, surfaces, and unique design pieces. The production line was a marvel of innovation, blending modern technology with time-honoured craftsmanship. Here, we witnessed marble blocks being cut and transformed into everything from sophisticated kitchen worktops to bathtubs, basins, and custom-made objects. Whether it’s a grand staircase, an opulent hotel entrance, or sleek light fixtures, Luce Di Carrara can sculpt dreams into reality.
Crafting Every Detail: Sustainable, Bespoke Luxury
Luce Di Carrara’s ability to craft luxury extends beyond mere aesthetics; it focuses on sustainability and thoughtful usage of every piece of marble. Their “Living Marble” philosophy ensures that each fragment of stone, from the largest slabs to the smallest cut-offs, finds a purpose. Advanced technology and sustainable practices align with the family’s dedication to minimal waste and maximizing beauty – a perfect match for Aura Surfaces’ own values of sustainability, luxury, and excellence.
Bringing Dreams to Life: Aura Surfaces & Bespoke Marble Creations
The level of customisation available with Luce Di Carrara is nothing short of astounding. Imagine hand-selecting the very marble block from which your bespoke bathtub, countertops, or entrance pieces will be carved. The intricate detailing in each design, from sweeping staircases to subtle soap dishes, can all be tailored to fit your space perfectly. At Aura Surfaces, we see the beauty of marble not just as a surface but as an experience, allowing you to craft a narrative within your interiors. Our partnership with Luce Di Carrara means we offer exclusive access to marble that goes beyond tiles – it’s about creating heirloom pieces and living art for your space.
A Vision for Luxury Spaces: From Hotel & Spa to Home
Whether you’re designing an award-winning hotel, a luxury spa, or the home of your dreams, marble has the power to elevate your space in ways you may never have imagined. Envision a spa where the marble walls and floors seamlessly blend, where the basins reflect the surrounding surfaces in perfect harmony. Or imagine walking into your home to be greeted by a sweeping marble staircase that echoes the opulence of grand estates. Marble not only brings beauty but a timeless sophistication that transforms any space into a masterpiece. And Aura Surfaces, in collaboration with Luce Di Carrara, is here to make it happen.
