A topical trend in interior design is the choice of naturally luminous material with metallic effect veins and speck- les found in the marbles, quartzite and granites we quarry throughout the world and, above all, in Brazil and South Africa. Materials of great aesthetic value, also enhanced by workings able to reflect the mirror light, highlighting the quality of the veining and intense contrasts. One of the most particular applications is on walls: the choice of the slabs does not always follow a concept of symmetry, but mimics the magnificent entropy worked by nature. A trend we will look at in more depth in the next issue of ML World.
