Introducing a Very Refined Backgammon Set
Discover our latest creation: a bespoke backgammon set crafted from the exquisite Azul Cielo and White Onyx. This refined piece combines timeless craftsmanship with modern precision, perfect for adding prestige to any private residence or luxury hotel suite.
The Art of Fluting
Few techniques embody the elegance and precision of stonework more than the art of fluting. This ancient craft, characterised by its vertical grooves, adds depth and sophistication to any stone surface. At stoneCIRCLE, we merge modern technology with traditional craftsmanship, using CNC machines for initial carving and skilled stonemasons for final touches. This blend ensures flawless, unique pieces that push the boundaries of design and quality. Watch our video to see a Travertine slab with meticulously fluted surfaces, exemplifying our commitment to excellence.
crafting excellence: the art of detailed stonework
Discover the Precision and Beauty of Custom Stone Edging
At stoneCIRCLE, we believe that true craftsmanship lies in the details. Our passion for creating exquisite stonework is evident in every piece we produce, from the intricate edges to the grand fireplace surrounds that become the focal point of any room.
the art of book-matched stone: transforming spaces with the beauty of nature
Book-matched stone is one of the most impressive elements used in the realm of luxury design. This technique, where consecutive slabs of natural stone are placed side by side to mirror each other like the pages of an open book, creates stunning symmetrical patterns that transform a surface into a work of art.
stone doesn't just come in slabs
At stoneCIRCLE, we understand that the beauty of natural stone is an artistic journey—from rugged blocks to polished elegance. In our latest factory sneak peek, we invite you to watch the transformative process of granite, marble, and limestone as they morph from their raw, earthy origins into refined, intricate designs.

introducing ‘all the colours of stone’
seasonal and seasonless colours to inspire your design
Natural stone is often associated with adjectives as timeless, long-lasting, versatile.
Nevertheless, it is used in architecture and interiors to match styles and space decor with a well-defined look. These styles are following – sometimes even leading – trends that change during the years and the seasons.
something old, something new, …
From traditional stonemasonry to advanced CNC machinery work.
the Power of Water on Stone
The power of water concentrated into a jet allows stoneCIRCLE to achieve some of its most striking work.
