Look closer.

Six surfaces, six different ways of holding light and making an edge. These records describe visual character; they do not certify a material.

Pale limestone

A quiet, continuous ground.

Surface rhythm: Fine pores interrupt an otherwise low-contrast field.
Visual role: Read beside a much coarser surface; let the quieter face occupy more space.
Before specifying: A visual reference only. Confirm the actual sample, finish, maintenance and suitability with a supplier.

Generated macro illustration. No scale measurement or product specification.

A granular, warm counterweight.

Surface rhythm: Small uneven cells create a dense visual rhythm.
Visual role: Keep the granular field broad enough to read as texture, rather than a narrow decorative stripe.
Before specifying: The illustration cannot establish density, acoustic properties, durability or origin.

Generated macro illustration. No scale measurement or product specification.

A living-looking accent.

Surface rhythm: Tiny leaves form irregular clusters with visible depth.
Visual role: Use a contained area to contrast the flatter mineral faces.
Before specifying: This image is not a plant specification. Living, preserved and imitation surfaces require different care.

A changing junction.

Surface rhythm: Russet areas meet muted turquoise islands.
Visual role: A narrow band can mediate between warm and cool surfaces without becoming another ground.
Before specifying: Patina is variable. Confirm actual treatment, transfer, sealing and contact conditions.

Generated macro illustration. No scale measurement or product specification.

A soft directional field.

Surface rhythm: An open weave gives the surface a small repeated structure.
Visual role: Let the weave meet a fine mineral surface to make their different scales legible.
Before specifying: No fiber composition, fire classification or cleaning performance is asserted by this reference.

Generated macro illustration. No scale measurement or product specification.

A dark, matte anchor.

Surface rhythm: Fine grog interrupts the low sheen with irregular points.
Visual role: Pair the dark field with pale limestone for a clear edge, or cork for a quieter transition.
Before specifying: The image does not document a fired product, glaze, dimensions or suitability for wet areas.
