Lithos · Stone sourcing and specification

Stone decisions, carried from specification through sourcing.

Lithos works with architects and interior designers to compare materials, resolve technical questions, reach the right sources, and coordinate the path from sample to delivery.

Selected applications

Stone has to work at the scale of the project.

Textured Biancone stone forming a reception desk and surrounding wall surfaces

Commercial interiors

Biancone · Rigato Rock

A carved surface used at architectural scale, where texture, jointing, and fabrication become part of the room.

Hospitality and residential

Grolla · Sandblasted and brushed

A quiet stone floor carried across indoor and outdoor living, showing how finish and scale shape the continuity of a space.

Wet areas

Grolla · Honed

Pool environments ask more of stone: finish, absorption, detailing, and maintenance all have to be resolved together.

Stone reads differently at this scale. Tone, movement, fabrication, and transitions must remain controlled across the full installation.

Where Lithos enters the work.

01

Material direction

We translate the design intent into a focused material direction, comparing color, movement, finish, scale, and the way each stone will age in use.

02

Specification support

We test the visual choice against the application: absorption, slip, freeze-thaw exposure, thickness, format, fabrication, maintenance, and installation realities.

03

Sourcing and comparison

We reach quarries, importers, fabricators, and suppliers directly to compare current lots, samples, availability, lead times, and pricing without steering the project toward inventory that needs to move.

04

Procurement coordination

When the scope calls for it, we carry approvals, quotations, supplier communication, procurement, and delivery coordination through the agreed handoff.

The scope is shaped around the project. Some engagements stop at material direction and specification; others continue through samples, sourcing, procurement, and delivery coordination.

From brief to material decision.

A short project brief is enough to begin. We use it to understand the design intent, applications, constraints, timing, and the level of support the project may need.

01

Project brief

Share the intent, applications, constraints, timing, and any materials already under consideration. A short brief is enough to begin.

02

Consultation

Lithos reviews the brief personally, then discusses the material direction, the project risks, and the level of support that would be useful.

03

Material study

We compare suitable stones and finishes against performance, sourcing routes, current availability, samples, and budget context.

04

Sourcing and coordination

For retained projects, the work continues into supplier quotations, approvals, procurement, and delivery coordination according to the agreed scope.

Why Lithos

We come from the quarry side of the trade.

Lithos was built from experience quarrying, importing, comparing, and moving stone—not from a catalog assembled at a distance. That changes the questions we ask: what the stone will do, how the finish changes it, who can produce it well, and where risk enters the path to site.

  • Built from the quarry and import side of the trade.
  • Independent recommendations shaped by the project, not stock on hand.
  • Direct relationships across quarries, importers, fabricators, and suppliers.
  • One accountable relationship from the first material question through the agreed handoff.

Bring us the project before the stone is settled.

Lithos reviews every brief personally. For suitable projects, the next step is a consultation to discuss material direction, constraints, and the right sourcing scope.
