CRL Stone’s second outing to The Natural Stone Show

CRL Stone’s second outing to the Natural Stone Show at London’s Excel was hugely successful as they exhibited their full range of 77 materials.

Retailers, architects, designers, developers and fabricators flooded the stand throughout the three-day event, showing a particular interest in the 12 new materials freshly added to its collection. The new Ceralsio Ceramic range brought an industrial nature-inspired feel to the stand while the grey tones and marble-inspired styles of the new CRL Quartz surfaces brought a more ‘classic elegance meets industrial chic’ feel.

Covering an expanse of 120 sqm, the stand’s highlights included the beautiful, large table made of Ceralsio Ferro Vecchio, a material that adopts the appearance of poured concrete, giving a softer alternative to industrial-inspired designs. Another stand out feature at the show was the reception desk made of Ceralsio Calacatta Extreme, which features a bold marble-effect pattern running throughout. The large format sample of CRL Quartz Pacific Grey, with its luxurious veining emulating the natural beauty of marble, displayed on the grey walls was also a highlight.

The stand featured an area showing CRL Stone’s large range of tools, the most comprehensive range of tools and accessories in the stone market today. The brand-new stone tools and accessories brochure was available along with a hospitality area which gave visitors the opportunity to enjoy drinks and nibbles whilst talking all things stone with the CRL Stone experts.
