An Italian sandstone with Tuscan soul and contemporary elegance
Blue Stone Medicea is a stone that has spanned centuries of architecture, keeping its aesthetic authority intact. It is a darker and more intense variant of the famous Pietra Serena, quarried only in a specific area of Firenzuola, in the heart of Tuscany.
Its name recalls the Medici dynasty, who first made it a symbol of the Renaissance.
Deeper in the blue color, more contemporary in the gray tone, Blue Stone Medicea combines classic elegance with the versatility of a high-performance material. It is perfect for urban, residential and public projects that want to stand out without sacrificing the authenticity of natural materials. Today, thanks to the historic collaboration between Domos and the quarry owned by the Conti family, this stone is ready to write new design stories around the world.
Neutral and refined, its homogeneous gray is easily combined with different materials, leaving full expressive freedom to designers and architects. The availability in various thicknesses and finishes also makes it perfect for cladding, stairs and continuous surfaces.
However, like all sandstones, it requires attention at the design stage:
- It must be carefully selected, and then cut in the correct direction.
- Outdoors, it is used with post-position protective treatments.
- It is not totally frost-resistant, so it is important to evaluate the intended use on a case-by-case basis.
This design awareness is why we work alongside each client at every stage, from stone selection to on-site technical support.
