Alpi Argento

Product overview

Alpi Argento

A “design enhanced” version of aluminous Mediterranean Limestone. To create serene and welcoming spaces, suitable for multiple combinations with other surface design.

The Pietra Alpina Argento is a Limestone sourced from the Italian Alps, with a stony and at the same time soft and delicate background, lightly enriched by delicate pebbles and sediment of various shades, visible only getting closer.

With our redesign, we chose a slightly warm and enveloping white and we carefully enhanced fossils and pebbles, giving life to a surface the natural and quiet flavour of the stone, with a touch of contemporary sophistication.
