New Arrivals Old-World Stonework Reimagined in Porcelain
January 15, 2026Inspired by centuries of stone craftsmanship, the Opus collection captures the beauty of hand-carved marble and travertine in a refined, high-performance porcelain format. Rooted in old-world charm yet designed for modern living, Opus brings texture, depth, and architectural presence to both residential and commercial spaces.
With its chiseled surface, large-format scale, and timeless stone visuals, Opus is ideal for designers and architects seeking a classic aesthetic with contemporary durability.
A Name Rooted in Architectural History
The word Opus comes from Latin, meaning “work,” and is closely tied to Roman stone masonry traditions such as opus incertum. These ancient techniques emphasized craftsmanship, texture, and irregularity—qualities that continue to define enduring architecture today.
The Opus collection draws from this legacy, translating the artistry of carved stone into porcelain tiles that feel authentic, intentional, and timeless. Each piece reflects the look of stone shaped by hand, reinterpreted through modern manufacturing for consistency and reliability.
Inspired by Old-World Charm and Classic Stone
At the heart of Opus is a deep appreciation for traditional stone materials—marble and travertine that have been used for centuries in architecture across Europe and beyond.
Artisanal Surface Detail
The surface is defined by thin lines and chiseled details reminiscent of fine artisanal stonework, creating a textured appearance that adds character without overwhelming a space. Subtle relief allows light and shadow to interact across the tile, giving walls a dynamic, sculptural quality.
This makes Opus especially well-suited for:
- Feature and accent walls
- Architectural statements
- Spaces seeking warmth, depth, and authenticity
While inspired by history, Opus feels equally at home in modern, transitional, and classic interiors.
Chisel Finish: Texture That Feels Handcrafted
A defining feature of the Opus collection is its Chisel finish, which emulates the look of hand-tooled stone.
Unlike flat stone-look tiles, this textured surface introduces tactile interest and visual depth. The chiseled detailing enhances the natural veining and aggregate movement within each colorway, reinforcing the authenticity of the stone inspiration.
Benefits of a Textured Porcelain Surface
- Adds dimension to large wall installations
- Elevates minimalist and neutral designs
- Creates a curated, artisanal aesthetic
The Chisel finish allows Opus to stand out as more than a decorative surface—it becomes an architectural element.
Large-Format Design with 24x48 Porcelain Tile
Opus is offered in a 24x48 large-format tile, delivering a bold, contemporary scale that mirrors the look of stone slabs.
Why Large Format Matters
- Fewer grout lines for a clean, monolithic appearance
- Enhanced realism compared to smaller formats
- Ideal for expansive wall applications
With a 9mm thickness, Opus functions as a porcelain veneer—lightweight enough for wall use while maintaining the strength and durability expected from porcelain tile. This format is ideal for:
- Residential feature walls
- Fireplace surrounds
- Hotel lobbies and commercial interiors
- Exterior architectural cladding
Three Timeless Stone-Inspired Colorways
The Opus collection is available in three stocked colorways, each inspired by classic natural stone.
Opus Calacatta
Calacatta delivers a luxurious marble look with bold, expressive veining set against a luminous white background. Inspired by iconic Italian marble, this colorway creates striking visual impact and refined elegance. Best for:
- Statement walls

Opus Statuario
Statuario offers a softer, more balanced marble aesthetic with graceful gray veining. Subtle yet sophisticated, it provides architectural versatility across a wide range of design styles. Best for:
- Modern and minimalist interiors
- Large-scale wall installations

Opus Travertine
Warm and timeless, Travertine is inspired by classic vein-cut travertine stone. Its linear movement and earthy tones bring natural warmth and a grounded feel to both interior and exterior applications. Best for:
- Mediterranean and transitional designs
- Outdoor walls and courtyards
- Spaces seeking organic texture
Together, these three colorways allow designers to create cohesive environments while offering distinct visual personalities.
Consistent Tone with Natural Variation
Opus features a V2 shade variation, meaning each tile maintains a consistent overall tone with subtle natural aggregate shifts. This level of variation ensures:
- A cohesive, polished installation
- Natural movement without visual chaos
- A realistic stone appearance
The result is a surface that feels organic while remaining controlled and design-friendly.
