General description

Classico C cross cut is highly appreciated for its delicate shades of light brown, beige, and cream. In cross cut, the cutting direction goes against the vein which results in a uniform background, therefore the neutral and pattern-free appearance makes it highly versatile and perfect to be matched with other natural stones both in interior and exterior design projects.

A walk in the woods, the sunlight shining through the trees, the sounds of nature. The direct contact with nature. This is Roman Travertine Classico C cross cut: a gift from the earth to dress up your favorite surfaces. For ages Roman Travertine has been used to build prestigious works of a art, as a proof that natural elegance is timeless. 

One type of natural stone has been revered for its strength and beauty through millennia – travertine Classico C in cross cut. It is both a highly practical building material yet also an aesthetically entrancing surface from a design perspective.
