Travertine: a classic that inspires

Contemporary architecture and interior design continually seek inspiration from classic materials that combine durability, elegance and timeless appeal. Travertine is one such material - a stone with a rich history that has found new life in luxury projects such as facades and pivot doors, both in its natural form and in ceramic imitations.

History

Silver travertine is a sedimentary limestone formed in hot springs and caves. Its history dates back to ancient Rome, where it was used to build monumental structures such as the Colosseum. This iconic travertine amphitheater is a testament to the durability and elegance of this material.

Travertine applications

Today, it  is very popular in Mediterranean countries such as Italy, Turkey and Greece, where its use in architecture and art is particularly prominent. The most important deposits of this stone are located in the Tivoli area near Rome. Its elegance and natural beauty are appreciated all over the world.

Facades and luxury pivot doors

Modern architecture has rediscovered the potential of Silver Travertine. Facades and pivot doors finished with this stone are becoming a symbol of luxury and sophisticated style. Thanks to their innovative design, swing doors are eye-catching and offer excellent functionality. Finished with natural stone or its ceramic imitation, they have a unique, elegant look that blends harmoniously into both modern and classic settings.
