Every stone tells a story. Its veining, its rich coloration, even its place of origin, each revealing the many lives it’s lived. And while our fixtures often share the spotlight with all sorts of exotic varieties, there are no slabs we revel in seeing them in dialogue with more than those from Marmi, a family-owned business with quarries from Cairo to Carrera. Run by a larger-than-life character in his own right, Magd Riad, we were so intrigued by their operation that we traced its path from quarry to countertop in the latest edition of The Current. To witness the journey these precious materials make is to have an uncanny appreciation for the weight of history they bestow and an anticipation for what’s left to be written as they evolve and endure.

Here are some of our favorite pairings.
