STILLSTONE / Natural Stone
The workshop
The block, the saw and the finishing line are in one place. Cutting, edge work, waterjet, carving, book-matching and inspection are handled together before anything is packed.
Stone is looked at in full before it is cut.
Every slab is stood up, photographed and numbered. The drawing is then laid against it: where the vein runs, which edge takes the movement, and how neighbouring pieces will read once they are fixed. A dry-lay settles questions that no sample can answer.
Our processing base is in Xiamen, China. For Australian projects the same material continues through local fabrication and on-site installation, so the specification stays in one set of hands from selection to site.
