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.

Precision Meets Tradition

Our factory, one of the most modern in the UK, is proof of the synergy between cutting-edge technology and traditional craftsmanship. Watch how computer numerically controlled (CNC) machinery works in harmony with the hands of our expert stonemasons. This dual approach ensures precision while allowing our master craftsmen to add their unique touch.

Sustainable Craftsmanship

We also highlight our commitment to sustainability as we guide you through the cutting, shaping, and finishing of stone. Every drop of water and every shard of stone is recycled, echoing our dedication to environmental responsibility.

Join the Journey

Join us as we make massive blocks into bespoke slabs, fashioning the stone to the high standards expected by our clients in an age-old process that has been adapted to modern technology for use in residential, hospitality, and luxury retail projects.

Behind every slab, there's a story. Watch as we transform rugged blocks into polished art.

Marco Fazio

Marco Joe Fazio is CCO and director of photography at space+style™ by marco joe fazio Ltd, working in fashion, hospitality, food & drink, architecture and design.

Born and raised in Tuscany, Italy, Marco learned the rudiments of photography and the magic of the darkroom in his early school years. Thereafter, he worked in architecture, interior, and lighting design for two decades. During those years, Marco founded an award-winning architectural studio and managed a multidisciplinary design team, working mainly for fashion industry clients.

Since moving to London in 2008, Marco has been recognised as a Chartered Architect of the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) while pursuing his dream of connecting the worlds of architecture, design, and fashion from the photographer's perspective.

After years of passionate dedication, hard work and professional achievements, he was awarded the Fellowship certification (FBIPP) by the British Institute of Professional Photography and won the Peter Grugeon Award for the Best Fellowship of the Year in 2016. Subsequently, he has been admitted as a member of the highly regarded Association of Photographers (AOP). 

Having achieved a stronghold in coordinated image and photography for the design and fashion world, Marco has taken his expertise into the hospitality market; luxury and boutique hotels, fine dining restaurants, and the drinks and beverage industry are all reaping benefits from his services.

Today, Marco is leading his agency in assignments in the hospitality, fashion, and design industries.

Creative photography, cinematography, coordinated images and brand marketing form the core of his services.

Thanks to more than a decade in the music industry, Marco has expendable knowledge in composition and sound engineering. That knowledge is a valuable asset in creating licensed soundtracks and magnetic sound designs for commercial productions.

Marco's passion and another branch of his business are mentoring and nurturing new visual arts talents. In 2016, he launched "telling [fashion] stories" – photography & set design workshops – and more recently, he has become a lecturer for the School of Art and Creative Industries at London South Bank University (LSBU).

The crossover between genres and industries is a peculiar and essential factor in his work, contributing to thinking outside the box and achieving a unique style rich in symbolism and content.
