Our stone design production

is based on both hand chiseling and modern carving techniques. The possibility to cut stone blocks in sizes of up to 3 meters makes lava rock a stunning design element for creating washbasins and bathtubs from monolithic blocks, but also bar counters, kitchen counter tops and islands

Our workshops,

located at the foot of Mount Vesuvius, we employ stone artisans whose skills have been handed down over centuries, through in traditions that live on in southern Italy.

Special finishes

can be applied on the bare surface, which reveal different shades from gray to brown, all whilst preserving the natural characteristics of the stone.

This adds texture and character to the final project.

edges

to complete the product, Ranieri offers six different types of edges to frame the surfaces

in particular: Sharp, a cutting and precise edge; Round, with softer and organic curves; Cut, an artistic and elegant interpretation of imprecision; Bevelled, raising the surface into an even more three-dimensional effect; Tapered, pointed towards the top; 45°, ending in a dynamic angle.

The edges can also be kept Cover-Less or treated in Covered-Up, giving life to different finishes and treatments.
