Romancing
the
STONE
Cumar Dazzles with its Linea Couture Collection
Many know Cumar Marble and Granite for its gleaming
granite and marble, but homeowners may not be aware
that the natural stone fabricator carries a line of full slabs
of exotic and semiprecious stone typically seen only in
jewelry. This assortment—culled from personal searches
all over the world—is known as the “Linea Couture”
collection, and has stones so special, shares Vice President
Carlotta Cubi Mandra, “they are in class of their own.”
Comprised of coveted gems and materials like amethysts,
agates, petrified wood and quartzes, these luxe offerings
can grace that “once-in-a-lifetime kitchen, bath or custom
project.” Use them anywhere you’d like to make a brilliant,
beautiful statement—Cumar’s custom fabrications have
found expression on fireplace surrounds, backsplashes,
vanities, sinks, countertops, and more.
Add further drama by backlighting the stone. This design
effect accentuates the heady, saturated colors and intricate
veining found in nature’s glorious compositions.
