Waterfall islands, full-height backsplashes, bookmatched walls, and furniture — how large-format slabs are reshaping Lebanese interiors.
For decades, slab material had one job: the countertop. Today, the most interesting projects crossing our fabrication floor use large-format porcelain and quartz everywhere else — walls, furniture, fireplaces, even facades. The driver is the material itself: sintered slabs like Kedra and Materia now come in formats over three meters long and as thin as 12mm, light and strong enough to go where stone never could.
The waterfall island — where the surface flows over the edge and down to the floor in mitred continuity — has become the defining gesture of the modern Lebanese kitchen. Executed in a veined material like Materia's Calacatta Gris, with the veins matched around the mitre, it turns the island into a single sculptural block. This detail lives or dies on fabrication precision, which is why we cut every mitre on CNC equipment at our facility.
Tile grout lines are disappearing from high-end kitchens. In their place: a single uninterrupted slab running from countertop to ceiling. Beyond the kitchen, bookmatched pairs — two slabs polished from adjacent layers and mirrored — create dramatic feature walls in living rooms, bathrooms, and hotel lobbies.
Dining tables, coffee tables, consoles, and vanities fabricated from porcelain slabs combine the presence of stone with practical toughness: scratch-proof, UV-stable, and immune to wine rings. Our team fabricates custom furniture pieces to drawings — a natural extension of the same cutting and edge-profiling capability we apply to countertops.
If any of these ideas belong in your next project, bring the concept to us early. The best results happen when material selection and fabrication planning start together.
