Norwegian Rose Marble, Hermelin, Antique Verdatre
This classic blue-grey marble has been widely used in high-profile prestige projects in recent years. In Copenhagen the head office

When the architects of the new international airport in Oslo expressed their desire to use stone for the floor in the main departure hall, the Hermelin marble was their natural choice because of it's durability and fine appearance.
