Lapicida, one of the world’s leading tile and stone specialists, is delighted to celebrate the opening of its new London showroom on Ebury Street, Belgravia. The London showroom, located within the heart of Pimlico’s thriving design district, is an impressive space that showcases a comprehensive range of natural stone, including genuine antique reclaimed stone and fine Italian porcelain. Situated over two floors, the showroom provides abundant inspiration for projects and displays Lapicida’s boundless design capabilities.
“We have waited a long time for the right location, and when this space in the Pimlico design district became available, I knew immediately that this was the place to be,” says Jason Cherrington, managing director of Lapicida. “We are delighted to be located amongst other inspirational interiors brands, and it is ideal for interior designers and customers to cover all design bases within one area. Our showroom manager Nicola Kemplay and her excellent team are ready to show London what we have to offer, and we’re very excited to be a part of the design community here.”
A highlight of the showroom is a dedicated area to Lapicida’s renowned reclaimed antique stone floors, including examples of its English flagstone, Barr de Montpelier and Lyon Terracotta. Lapicida’s custom-cut service transforms these historic floors from irregular pieces of antique stone into dimensioned pieces, making them suitable for modern use without compromising their remarkable beauty. These are shown alongside a new and exclusive collection of genuine limestone floors created in partnership with English Heritage, inspired by properties within English Heritage’s care.
Also on display is an impressive selection of solid marble sinks, cut to perfection with Lapicida’s own CNC machine. These include striking marble Belfast sinks and shallower basin designs in honed and antiqued finishes. Custom design and bespoke manufacturing are Lapicida’s speciality, with the premise that “anything is possible”. Its expert stonemasons can transform stone into bas-relief tiles, staircases, balustrades, full scale statuary, book-matched panels, custom-designed inlays, intricate mosaics and more. The showroom contains a dedicated meeting area where Lapicida’s project consultants can advise on anything: from the products sold from stock to complex one-off designs and manufacturing projects.
Lapicida is showcasing its unique new-generation ceramics and porcelain. A highlight is the new Campagne collection: an exclusive porcelain created in partnership with Italian artisans that replicates the beauty of natural beige stone. It is considered one of the finest porcelain floorings available due to its versatility, extreme durability and almost undetectable authentic stone look.
Exclusive to the London showroom is Lapicida’s new Composition collection. The luxury stone surface is created with a combination of monochromatic natural stones including travertine, marble and basalt. These have been cut into geometric shapes and precisely fitted into a unique pattern to create a striking statement design to grace floors and walls. Also exclusive to the London Lapicida showroom is a collection of handmade terracotta tiles featuring reliefs of colourful and bold geometric shapes; delightfully playful and modern, this collection brings a unique style to bathrooms, kitchens, hallways and more.
An ‘indoor-outdoor’ room is dedicated to ORNAMENTI by Lapicida. Luxury outdoor ornaments, such as artisan-made Italian terracotta planters and authentic French Biot Jars, are beautifully displayed to provide fantastic inspiration for outdoor areas.
