This texture is bespoke. Please contact us with your specific request. Tiles are sold in minimum batch lots. All orders are calculated by converting the square metres requested and rounding up to arrive at the minimum batch lot(s) required to meet the request. Standard delivery times do not apply to orders over "40" cm.

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.
SHIPPING
As a rule, all orders destined within Italy should arrive within 1-3 working days, whilst for countries within the EU the estimated delivery time is 2-6 working days and 8-10 for other destinations.
We process all orders received for smaller items weighing less than 70 kg each morning (Monday to Friday) before midday (CET or UTC +1) and usually they will be dispatched the same day. Orders placed after midday (CET) Monday to Friday will be dispatched the following working day. Once your order has been sent, we will send you an email with a tracking link so that you can monitor your delivery.
For bulkier items (tables, storage pieces, special editions, bathtubs and mirrors), delivery times may vary, based on the dimensions of the product and availability in our warehouse. For a more detailed explanation, please click here.

Lost Stones came about as part of Salvatori’s mission to reclaim and recycle as much material as possible and in the process, give it a new life and value. Its story started in 2019 during a conversation with Piero Lissoni in which we started thinking about how we might create a new destiny for abandoned, unloved stone, restoring it to its original splendour. Gabriele Salvatori and Lissoni embarked on a series of visits to storehouses and yards scattered all over Italy and discovered treasure troves of inestimable historic value, including the very stone used for Paris’s Notre Dame cathedral and marble left over from Mies Van Der Rohe’s famous Barcelona Pavilion. Drawing on the ancient Japanese art of Kintsugi which has been used for centuries to repair broken ceramics, our artisans then filled every crack and imperfection with a gold-coloured resin, giving life to something truly special and unique in a reinterpretation of the ancient Japanese art of Kintsugi used for centuries to repair broken ceramics. The Lost Stones texture is an evolution of the original project. Exclusively available on a made-to-measure basis, each slab is cut and finished with the precision of a bespoke garment, taking into account where it will be fitted and the type of stone chosen. In its Bianco Carrara version, Lost Stones brings an incredible luminosity and touch of restrained glamour to any space.
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).

The small holes you may see on the surface are a natural characteristic of Bianco Carrara and should not be considered defects.
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.
