The Nostalgic Nature of Stone

get to know Lithic

Say hello to Lithic. A hard and soft surface collection reflecting a classic stone aesthetic. But looking beneath the surface, there’s more than meets the eye. Lithic connects biophilia and a sense of nostalgia. We love how familiar stone visuals are used in different and abstract ways throughout the collection. From subtle tonal textures to large-scale styles, the coordinating options offer a cohesive variety to design holistically across a space – creating transitions or statements or grounding with a neutral base.

the ins and outs

Lithic taps into our creative awareness, and how as curious observers, we are drawn to our surroundings that give us a connection to something familiar. It was inspired by our product designers’ trip to Milan where stone is in abundance, from important landmarks and grand entryways to common walkways and in luxury retail. The styles reflect rugged beauty and the antiquity of stone – connecting design and classic architecture or impressive structures that have history and a storied past. It creates this nostalgic nature of stone, while using biophilic elements to bring in a soothing, organic feel.

“I’m excited to use this collection within senior living environments to create these foundational, calming spaces — using products that honor the earth’s resources and our connection to them. Creating a modern take with a storied past.”
