The secret of Lithos Design products is concealed in these few lines; modular wall and floor coverings and modular partitions made to create textured surfaces, rendered unique by the natural unrepeatability of each stone, whose singular characteristics are emphasised and enhanced in the skilful cutting, machining and shaping processes.
Lithos Design chose to work only with natural stone and in particular with limestone, sandstones and marbles. The company does not use agglomerates and manufactured or synthetic stones, and it does not work with granites. Natural stones, especially when used as claddings, require easy care and maintain their natural beauty against time.
The use of stone claddings contributes to the healthiness and safety of living spaces: natural stones are not inflammable, they do not get electro-statically charged, and do not encourage the development of bacteria and fungi. Besides, Lithos Design stone claddings have interesting sound absorbency features due to the intrinsic porosity of the materials used, and also to their peculiar 3d textures which provide a broader contact surface with the incidental wave, thus encouraging the dissipation of a higher amount of sound energy. The acoustic quality of any living space is by now essential for a better life quality, and it becomes vital in such settings as theatres, cinemas, libraries, recording and TV studios, meeting rooms.
