Stonework Chronicles: Stone Drawing
Discover the story behind Susanna Heron’s stunning Stone Drawing at St John’s College, Oxford, in our latest Stonework Chronicles. Through a blend of intricate artistry and cutting-edge stone masonry, stoneCIRCLE brought Heron’s vision to life, showcasing the seamless integration of traditional craftsmanship and modern technology. Watch the full story unfold in our video.
the art of book-matched stone: transforming spaces with the beauty of nature
Book-matched stone is one of the most impressive elements used in the realm of luxury design. This technique, where consecutive slabs of natural stone are placed side by side to mirror each other like the pages of an open book, creates stunning symmetrical patterns that transform a surface into a work of art.
