Marmara Marble

Marmara marble: A natural stone inspired by tradition and defined by its striking stripes

Marmara marble is a distinctive white stone with parallel gray veining. It is quarried exclusively from the island of Marmara in Turkey. Its striking horizontal lines, almost as if drawn with a ruler, set this stone apart against a clean white background. The result is a simple yet powerful visual rhythm that brings a sense of order, harmony, and calm to any space.

Long associated with traditional Turkish hammam architecture, Marmara marble has also found its way into contemporary interiors, proving its timeless appeal and versatility.
