Blue Siena

In the slab pattern, Blue Siena shows a clear light grey to white ground tone crossed by powerfully fluid vein tracks in warm honey, golden cream and subtly bluish tones. The vein figuring reads as dramatically flowing — main tracks branch into finer accompanying lines with occasional more powerful nodal zones. An atmospherically luxurious composition with a classic Italian vein dramaturgy.

For application this means: Blue Siena is a decidedly elegant choice for prestige wall cladding, vanity tops, bar counters and interior surfaces with a luxurious, dramatic ambition. Combined with warm timber, brass and muted earth tones, the material develops an atmospherically luxurious effect.

Technically, Blue Siena is, like all carbonate limestones, acid-sensitive (Mohs hardness about 3) and requires an awareness of maintenance.

At ROSSITTIS we currently carry Blue Siena as 6 unsized slabs in 20 mm thickness with a polished finish.

For anyone comparing Blue Siena with other materials: stylistically close are Italian marbles with warm golden veining such as Calacatta Crema and Calacatta Vagli, as well as various Tuscan and Ligurian limestones.

Our honest assessment: Blue Siena is an elegant choice for luxurious Italian interior architecture. Anyone who needs maximum acid resistance should reach for a porcelain with a Calacatta look.
