Marble Magic

Calacatta marble is where classic elegance meets contemporary innovation! Our team at Semmelmann Interiors is a fan of the timeless beauty and versatility that this highly sought-after material brings to any space! The exquisite natural stone has been adorning homes and public spaces for centuries, tracing back to the ancient Romans among the first to quarry and utilize this precious material. Calacatta marble gets its name from the nearby Apuan Alps, specifically Mount Calacatta, where it is primarily quarried. The unique geological conditions in this region are responsible for the creation of Calacatta's iconic pattern with a stunning white background and bold, dramatic veining. The contrast between the pure white and the dark, flowing veins creates a striking visual impact that can't be replicated by any man-made material. There are several variations of Calacatta marble coordinating with the color of the veins, including Calacatta Gold, Calacatta Borghini, and Calacatta Viola just to name a few of the most widely used kinds. Each slab of Calacatta marble is a unique work of art, with its own distinct veining pattern, making it a one-of-a-kind addition! Whether used as countertops, flooring, backsplashes, or even as a statement piece in the form of a marble sculpture or fireplace surround, it brings sophistication and luxury to any environment! In addition to the aesthetic appeal, Calacatta is also durable and resilient. It can handle the heat in the kitchen, the splashes in the bathroom, and the foot traffic in your hallways. With a little TLC, it stands the test of time, promising a lifetime of breathtaking beauty! So, if you're ready to embrace the extraordinary, call our team to incorporate Calacatta marble into your home design! It’s not just marble – it's magic!
