Translucent Stone

Real stone, thin enough for light to pass through.

Backlit amber translucent stone counter glowing

Walls · Backlit stone

A layer of natural slate as thin as 0.1 mm, bonded to a glass-fiber backing. Put a light behind it and the stone’s pattern glows. Warm white, cool white or coloured LEDs each give a different look. The sheets are light, bend to a 10 cm radius and can be shaped with heat.
