Venturing into new territories with natural stone, Lithos Design crafts beautiful surface cladding from unadulterated marble, suitable for both indoor and outdoor use.

Among their multitude of arresting offerings, the Virgola design from the Le Pietre Incise collection stands out for its versatility, originality, and aesthetic appeal.

Recently employed in the exterior refurbishment of the Ritz Carlton hotel in Bahrain, Virgola is by turns serpentine and soothing-"the graphic curve of a comma, a puzzle game showing to the eye bunches of four-leaf clovers or swarms of butterflies."

With Virgola, the signification is indeed in the eye of the beholder. The interconnected curvatures of each stone panel form undulating waves, arcane hieroglyphics, dune-like organic shapes with a decidedly cabalistic bent.

While Virgola seems particularly apropos to old world settings, the applications are many and varied. Lithos will custom select materials to suit a given outdoor (or indoor) climate, so the style is equally compelling in Bahrain or Barcelona, Baghdad or Baton Rouge.

Virgola is available in 16 different types and colors of marble. For further information, see Lithos.
