The Metropolitan Slate Honed Slab exudes a refined elegance, capturing the timeless allure of natural slate. Its deep black tones offer a sophisticated backdrop, seamlessly integrating into both modern and traditional interiors.
With a honed finish, these slabs present a smooth surface that enhances the natural beauty of the slate. The bespoke shape adds a tailored touch, making them a versatile choice for a range of design aesthetics.
Crafted from durable slate, these slabs are designed for internal use, making them a practical option for areas such as bathrooms, hallways, and wet rooms. Their natural resistance to slips and stains further enhances their suitability for high-traffic spaces.
