Antolini: precious stones, vintage and eclecticism

The Italian company has reached heights in transforming the beauty of nature. How is working with natural stone, says Alberto Antolini. “Love for the stone and admiration for its beauty. It is this passion that has always given us the determination and strength to dare, to move in new ways. We offer such interpretations of natural material that no one has previously created. An important feature of our work is the focus on architectural projects, as well as the attraction of famous designers. We focus on high-level cooperation in order to arouse interest in a product relevant to the market.

The company produces a wide range of products from marble, granite, onyx, travertine, limestone. They add elegance and chic to the decorated spaces, allow to place both bright and delicate accents, to achieve harmonious color transitions. Among the advantages of our coatings is not only the color variety, but also the richness of finishes - finishes, created thanks to unique processing methods and innovative technologies. Thanks to Antolini, for the first time in history, the consumer had the opportunity to purchase whole slabs made of semi-precious materials. Stones that were once used only for jewelry, such as amethyst, quartz, agate, jasper, now serve as a material for a refined finish, are transformed into spectacular panels, objects and accessories.

Основным критерием служит используемый материал — если речь идет о коллекциях «Мрамор», «Оникс», «Гранит», «Травертин», «Известняк». В отдельную группу выделены отделки из ценных пород камня — это Precioustone collection. Коллекция Shellstone предлагает различные версии из перламутра. Nature объединяет экспериментальные покрытия, полученные в результате «доработки» натурального камня: дизайн, созданный нашими мастерами, подчеркивает потенциал материала и его природную фактуру. Поверхности с декором, напоминающим мотивы дорогого текстиля, образуют коллекцию Texture+ (ее автор — Antolini Design Studio). Woodstone представляет мрамор в форматах, приближенных к геометрии деревянного паркета.

Each national market has its own characteristics associated with the cultural traditions and mentality of a particular people. Very often, lining materials, popular in some countries, do not find a buyer in others. In Russia, the Woodstone, Shellstone and Precioustone collections received the greatest recognition. If we talk about the world as a whole, among the marble coatings, Irish Green (Irish Green) is very popular, among the granite - elegant brown (elegant brown): it is mined in Brazil. Such finishes are decisive in the interior, creating an atmosphere of sophisticated, elegant luxury.

One of the elements of the Precioustone collection is Septaria (it is also called the snail stone). This is a mineral with a complex structure, in the cracks of which calcite, dolomite, barite, galena, quartz, pyrite crystallize.

In the Precioustone collection, translucent rocks, such as, for example, agate, are of particular interest - they are proposed to be mounted with a backlight. It will enrich the space with a play of light and shadow. This idea is most advantageously combined with the Preciousglitter, Preciousgold and Precioussilver lines, where light blotches of shiny elements enhance the effect.

The luxurious palette of materials (including Rose Quartz, the same shade of color as the color of the year) is constantly updated. At the Milan Furniture Salon in April 2016, Antolini presented a series of new offers.
