Bookmatching: The Art of Symmetric Stone.
It starts with a block of stone
These slabs are cut in sequence, like pages of a book.
We flip every other slab
Now, they are mirror images of each other
The Showstopper
The result is a dramatic, symmetrical pattern that is purely natural art. We call it a "butterfly."
Location
It works everywhere you want a stunning focal point. Entryways, showers, and office lobbies
The Perfect Candidate
The best results come from stones with strong, bold veining and rich patterns. Subtle is not the goal
Fabrication Challenge
This is precision work. The edges must be cut and jointed to a fraction of a millimeter
The "Invisible" Seam
When done correctly, the center seam is invisible. The two slabs become one.
Before You Start
Planning is key. Factor in the cost of extra material and the skill of your fabricator
Common Mistake to Avoid
Don't let a poorly jointed seam or subtle stone choice ruin the effect
