In the world of natural stone, there are quarries, there are factories, and then there is Antolini. Based in Verona, Italy, Antolini has transcended the traditional definition of a stone supplier to become a curator of “Haute Nature.” For over 60 years, the Antolini family has traveled to the wildest corners of the globe to unearth the most exotic, rare, and dramatic stones, treating every slab not as a building material, but as a masterpiece of art.
The Collections – Beyond Marble
Antolini is best known for pushing the boundaries of what stone can look like.
- The Exclusive Collection: A curated selection of over 85 stones that are available only through Antolini. From the dramatic veins of Black Cosmic to the ethereal glow of Dover White, these are stones for clients who demand uniqueness.
- Precioustone: Perhaps their most iconic line. They transform semi-precious gems like Amethyst, Quartz, and Agate into large-format slabs. When backlit, these surfaces transform a room into a jewelry box.
Innovation – The Azerocare Revolution
The biggest fear of using marble in a kitchen? Stains and acid etching. Antolini solved this with Azerocare. This patented process is the first-ever protective treatment dedicated to natural stones. It protects polished surfaces from the most common aggressors (wine, lemon, vinegar) without altering the stone’s natural colors or tactile properties.
- The Verdict: With Azerocare, Antolini made marble “kitchen-safe” again.
The Experience – Stone Gallery
Visiting Antolini’s headquarters in Verona is a pilgrimage for designers. Their “Stone Gallery” displays slabs like paintings in a museum, lit to perfection, proving that nature is the world’s greatest artist.
Antolini doesn’t follow trends; they create them. They were the first to treat stone like high fashion, collaborating with designers like Alessandro La Spada to show how stone can be daring, wild, and deeply emotional.
