Calacatta Carrara is one of Marmi di Carrara's exclusive materials.
Since 1956 Marmi di Carrara has been able to recommend the best combinations of marble, granite, onyx and stone, in terms of both colour and technical and mechanical properties, even though every single project is unique and, above all, must retain the same qualities over the years.
Our technical department is state of the art, as are our workshops, equipped for new techniques such as honeycomb panels as well as glass and the working of solid blocks for bathtubs, washbasins and sculpture. With CNC machining, every stone can be shown at its very best. What is more, every project actually begins with the selection of the bench in the quarry, of the individual block and of the slabs that will then be used.
We invite you to visit our showroom, where you can also view and select slabs, blocks and more, or to request samples, which will be shipped to you.
