Kilkenny Nero

Product overview

Kilkenny Nero

A designed poetry, where any and each fossil has a story to tell. Caressing the reliefs of a very pleasant surface, a true sign of sincerity can be perceived.

Kilkenny is a sedimentary stone from Northern Europe. Its intense dark plateau is enriched by a great quantity of fossils and other details of very different sizes: from the largest to the almost imperceptible.

Calibrating its black colors scale, we reached the same intensity of the original stone, adding an unparalleled depth. In addition, we harmonized the too conspicuous  fossils with those not perceivable, using cutting-edge lenses that allow you to play with dimensions while maintaining impeccable definition of detail.

The result of this redesign concept is a more balanced and well-distributed product, without giving up the richness and variety of the stone.
