Marble in shopping centers
Marble in shopping centers adds value to the environment as it is always synonymous with luxury and distinction.
When designing these centers of leisure and shopping designers pursue to create beautiful spaces in which visitors can walk while enjoying a pleasant and satisfying experience. Therefore, design always has to be very focused on aesthetics, but also on functionality.
In this case, marble makes the difference. The concept of skin and the architectural sensations generated by a natural product such as stone is unparalleled.

Barneys Shopping Center in Beverly Hills
One of the paradigmatic examples of a luxury shopping center is the Barneys in Beverly Hills.
As a marble supplier in Beverly Hills, TINO Natural Stone provided Macael White and Tino Blue marble, a timeless combination.
Macael marble comes from a municipality that has the same name in Almeria, in the South of Spain and was used in such magnificent and emblematic projects as the Palatine complex of the Alhambra in Granada. It is an authentic marble with very good physical-mechanical characteristics, especially absorption and abrasion, and therefore internationally valued.
Macael White and Tino Blue come from the same geographical area and the tonal variety that is reflected in the Barneys floor is nothing more than the result of the chromatic richness of this material.
For this type of projects in which stones of different colors are interspersed and large quantities of meters are supplied, TINO Natural Stone made a prior dry lay in its facilities and numbered each tile so that the installer did not have to decide which was the best option in the arrangement of the pieces, it is the factory that predetermined the aesthetic and quality range of each space. This guarantees an optimal final result.
