CALACATTA RHINO

The Strength and Grace of White Marble

Calacatta Rhino marble by Marmi Orobici Graniti is one of nature’s most refined expressions—a natural stone that combines visual elegance and material resistance. Its geological history dates back to ancient times, when pure limestones deposited in the Mesozoic seas, were transformed by pressure and heat into a compact marble, characterized by soft veining and a brilliant white background.The result is a vibrant surface, crossed  by grey and golden shades that evoke the power and majesty of the rhinos, from which this marble takes its name.

Marmi Orobici Graniti’s quarries are located in Namibia, where nature has created deposits of extraordinary chromatic purity. An excellent product that allows no compromise at any stage of the processing  chain. The blocks are .carefully selected, directly at the quarry and only the best ones are transported to Italy for processing. In the warehouse in Telgate Marmi Orobici Graniti combines traditional craftsmanship with the most advanced technology in the stone industry, transforming blocks of Calacatta Rhino into slabs of exceptional quality and beauty. Marmi Orobici Graniti’s Calacatta Rhino slabs are featured in cutting-edge projects around the world: kitchen countertops, wall claddings,  floors, and monumental reception areas in the world’s most prestigious hotels and buildings.

Internationally renomated architects such as Norman Foster and Antonio Citterio have chosen Calacatta Rhino for exclusive hotels, museums, and prestigious residences, where the material becomes the protagonist of the space. Calacatta Rhino, with its soft and dynamic veins, is often used to create ethereal and visually striking environments.

Calacatta Rhino is the marble that with the energy of the Earth softens every project.

Elegant Namibian marble with a very bright white background, enriched by marked ivory veins that are the true protagonists of this southern African area. Bianco Rhino Calacatta has a crystalline structure suitable for installation in large and bright environments, or combined with darker materials to create contrasts that are pleasing to the eye. The cloudy structure and the typical compactness of marble are qualities appreciated by professionals in the sector for the creation of floors, stairs, wall coverings and furnishing accessories.
