Stone Specification
to Elevate

Specified to elevate both contemporary and classic cabinetry, the stone transforms functional surfaces into architectural features. The sweeping movement of the veining is carefully bookmatched to maximise visual impact.

Every elevation feels intentional and composed, the drama of the stone channelled into a disciplined, coherent surface design.

End to End Support

Fabrication
and Installation

From concept through fabrication and installation, the project demonstrates the power of precise specification and expert handling. AFJONES managed every stage to ensure the finished kitchen matched the vision exactly.

Each slab was selected for its veining pattern, then bookmatched and set out to create the continuous landscape the design called for.

AFJONES worked closely with the client from the earliest stages, advising on material selection, colour matching and surface design. The result is a kitchen that is as enduring in performance as it is striking in presence.

Design and Material

Enduring in Performance,
Striking in Presence

Calacatta Viola is a material that earns its place in any interior, its natural drama and warmth making every surface a considered architectural element.

Natural Artistry

Dramatic Veining,
Confident Contrast

The Calacatta Viola kitchen is a study in material confidence. The stone is allowed to be what it is, dramatic, organic, alive, with the design discipline to let it lead.

AFJONES end-to-end delivery ensures that the material's natural beauty is preserved from block selection through to the final polished surface installed in the kitchen.

A centrepiece that commands attention without overwhelming the space — Calacatta Viola bookmatched and installed with absolute precision.

AFJONES guided the specification, sourced the stone, bookmatched the slabs and delivered the installation, ensuring the finished kitchen was everything the design intended.
