MARBLE
AS A SILENT FORCE OF NATURE
Our natural stone is a marble with personality: alternating large and small fragments, veins and level surfaces, give rise to a harmony of liveliness punctuated by moments of tranquillity.
The variation in warm and cold tints makes the marble suitable for creating a variety of moods and makes it compatible with a broad range of styles.
Breccia Deja: marble as a silent force of nature
Breccias have been used for centuries in sculpture and architecture. For the Romans, brecciated marble was a valuable, cherished material that was incorporated in the façades of important public buildings.
Extracting the Breccia Deja is a journey full of surprises. Although the nature of the stone is already known, every layer reveals new treasures and unique forms.
Origin and composition
Breccia Deja contains various sorts of stone from different eras, each of which contributes to the colour, appearance and characteristics of the marble.
Some fragments from the Deja Breccia took shape in a time when the dinosaurs still roamed the Earth.
The origin of the stone dates back to the early formation of the Alps, 130 million years ago. Several different geological processes preceded the formation of the Deja Breccia.
130 millions years of the history of stone can be seen in the lively and varied pattern of the Deja Breccia. The lithological diversity to be found in the neighbouring 130 million year old mountains is beautifully reflected in our marble.
