BLACK ALGERIA
A true black ground with fine white veining that reads as light on dark.
The material
Black Algeria is the reference black of the house and the surface a building will be remembered for. The ground is dense and genuinely black, crossed by white calcite that runs in irregular, unrepeating branches rather than parallel bands. Because the figure never repeats, it is specified by the slab and not by the square metre: we photograph and number the sequence, and the lot you approve is the lot that ships. Polished, the ground goes to a wet depth and the veining reads as bright drawing; honed, the black turns matte and the veins soften to grey.
