For routine maintenance of the surfaces, always use neutral cleansers (for example, FILACLEANER or neutral soap). Do not in any case use harsh products that could irreparably damage the surface of the stone (such as acids or descaling products).
We strongly recommend that you do not place hot objects such as kettles or pans directly onto natural stone as it may cause
discolouration or staining.
If your stone is exposed to “hard water” where there is a high mineral content, you will need to take a little extra care as the cleaning properties of the FILACLEANER or neutral detergent will be weakened. You will therefore need to use these products a little more frequently so that soap scum, lime scale and the like do not have the chance to build up and congeal.

Product description
A sustainable texture that is produced exclusively to order, Lost Stones represents a new concept in interior design. It is not available in standardised formats, but instead every slab is bespoke cut, based on the type of stone itself and the environment it will be installed. While this signifies a revolution, tradition is not neglected, with the golden seams that run through the texture a homage to the ancient Japanese art of Kintsugi which used liquid gold to repair broken objects and give them a new life. The Lost Stones story began in 2019 when Gabriele Salvatori and Piero Lissoni realised how much beautiful natural stone was lying around, abandoned and unloved, in yards and warehouses. With the idea of Kintsugi already in mind, they set out on a trip around Italy and unearthed forgotten treasures such as leftover stone from buildings such as Paris’s Notre Dame cathedral and Mies Van Der Rohe’s famous Barcelona Pavilion. They brought them back to Tuscany where the Salvatori artisans set to work to restore them not only to their former glory, but to give them a stunning new incarnation. The Gris du Marais® version of Lost Stones sees the marble’s glorious dappled brown-grey tones set steaked by the golden seams to create eye-catching, truly unique walls and floors that exude warmth and understated glamour.
Good to know
You may see subtle copper-coloured veins running through this stone. These are not defects, but are a part of the stone itself.
The images shown on this page are indicative of the colour and characteristics of our products but cannot be 100% representative. Being made from natural materials, every tile or slab is unique in terms of tonality, colour and characteristic.
These are all subject to variation depending on the type of stone and the conditions in the quarry from where it comes.
Lake Garda, where the placid water, mountains and sky are balanced in an elemental harmony, has long been a source of inspiration for writers and thinkers.
