Translucent Stone Design

AIR-board® stonelight combines the natural elegance of genuine stone with the lightness and translucency of innovative panel technology. By pairing an authentic stone surface (slate) with a translucent core, it creates unique visual effects that reinterpret classic materials in a contemporary way.

When illuminated, the material reveals a fascinating sense of depth: the stone’s structures and veining come alive, creating an exceptional atmosphere that fills spaces with warmth, exclusivity and modern sophistication.

Despite its refined appearance, the material remains lightweight, structurally stable and sustainable in use – making it ideal for walls, counters, furniture and representative interior spaces designed to inspire and impress.
