THE
MAKING OF
LASTRA
Each alabaster shade is meticulously revealed through the unhurried, methodical art of our traditional Italian stone carving techniques.
Our alabaster undergoes millions of years of formation, recovered from underground quarries in Northern Italy,
an area renowned as the pinnacle of alabaster excellence.
The abundant natural deposits in the region are globally recognized for their exceptional qualities, including compactness, transparency, intricate veins, and exceptional hardness.
Blocks are prepared for the hands of skilled master artisans who then meticulously carve each shade from the solid stone revealing a flawlessly pure-white translucency complemented by subtle brown accents.
It's the very nature of the stone that shapes its pattern.
This intricate pattern is only revealed through the process
of carving away.
Impossible to predict, but a record of its journey.
Every alabaster shade is hand selected, curated for each
of our clients, insuring a beautiful assemblage unique to them.
