Venice, Italy — perfected during the Renaissance.

Marmorino

Polished Marble stone, matte finish, refined and tactile.

The Finish

A lime-and-marble plaster that produces a soft, low-sheen stone-like surface — the signature finish of Venetian palazzi.

Marmorino blends slaked lime with finely crushed marble dust, troweled in multiple coats and burnished to a satin glow.

The result is a subtle marble-like depth with quiet luminosity — never glossy, always sophisticated.

Ideal for designers and architects seeking a tactile, mineral surface that elevates millwork, fireplaces, and statement walls.

Visual Character

Smooth, low-sheen, with quiet movement. A whisper of marble across the wall.

Ideal For

  • Dining rooms and formal entries
  • Primary bathrooms and powder rooms
  • Fireplace surrounds
  • Hospitality and boutique retail

Durability

Excellent. Hardens to a stone-like surface; resists moisture when properly sealed.

FAQ

Common questions about Marmorino.

Can marmorino be used in bathrooms?

Yes. With proper sealing, marmorino performs beautifully in bathrooms and even shower walls (we use a tadelakt-style finish for wet areas).

How is the color customized?

Color is integral to the lime — tinted in the bucket, never painted over. We bring approved on-site samples before application.
