Sapienstone brings this character of breccia stones to its fullest expression in Negresco, a Brazilian brecciated quartzite with a deep, graphite-like background crossed by a network of light veins that move freely across the surface, creating islands and fissures that still tell the story of their geological formation.
The natural finish enhances this distinctive character. The eye is immediately drawn to the structure of the stone, yet it is through touch that the surface reveals its true depth, confirming the authenticity of the veining through a ceramic surface treatment specifically designed to emphasize its three-dimensional quality. The new Sapienstone slabs are available in the 320-by-160-cm format with a 12-mm thickness.
In Negresco, what originates from a fracture becomes character. The mark of the break transforms into design, and the passage of time that reassembled the material becomes its defining aesthetic signature.
