Sourced exclusively from Italy, these premium surface materials have what it takes to elevate architectural projects beyond the ordinary.
August 2nd, 2024
Anterior XL is a supplier of high-end natural stone, terrazzo, and porcelain slabs for residential and commercial applications.
Though based in Sydney – and dedicated to its clients, both within that city and elsewhere – the company also maintains a keen focus on the design traditions, the culture, and craftsmanship of Italy.
As visitors to its showroom would note, Anterior XL not only sources all its products from that famous mediterranean location, but displays and supplies them with a genuine, well-earned understanding of its culture, its aesthetic heritage, and its history of craftsmanship.
Durability meets timeless beauty
Customised according to requirements and suitable for a range of applications, Anterior XL’s products deliver the many benefits for which natural stone surface products have become known; features that distinguish them from various ‘look-alike’ alternatives.
Famously durable, natural stone products can be relied upon for a long, trouble-free service life. Given, as their name suggests, they are composed entirely of natural materials, their extraction and installation involve no risk of exposure to harmful chemicals, to either the people who live and work in their presence or the broader environment.
Most importantly though, natural stone surfaces deliver something special; something that is out of reach of the above-mentioned alternatives. They deliver a tranquillity and a natural beauty that is almost beyond definition; a biophilic element that that human made materials simply can’t match. And in so doing, they allow the architects and designers who work with them to elevate their work beyond the ordinary.
Always on trend, both aesthetically and in terms of innovation and functionality, Anterior XL’s range is extensive. Right now, some of the collection’s highlights include:
Opera Fantastico Marble Natural Stone
Sourced from the hills of Italy – and exhibiting an enticing spectrum of colours, from greys to pinks and yellows – Opera Fantastico Marble Natural Stone is recommended for floors, furniture, kitchen benchtops, walls, and cladding.
Employed in these residential applications, its intricate veining and timeless appeal are guaranteed to elevate the spaces in which it is installed to new levels of elegance.
Amazonite Granite Natural Stone
Produced in predominantly blue-green shades – mixed with whites, pinks, and darker, stronger veins – Amazonite Granite Natural Stone offers a soothing, though mysterious appeal. Bringing to mind the tranquillity of a calm winter sea or the solitude of a lush forest, the product is recommended for installation as cladding, floors, furniture, kitchen benchtops, and walls.
Statuario Extra Marble Natural Stone
Sourced from Carrara, and exuding the appeal for which that central Italian town has become known, Statuario Extra Marble Natural Stone is a versatile product that is suitable for a range of residential applications. Predominantly white, with gentle veining and a honed finish, it delivers the familiar delights of classic Carrara marble.
All these products, along with the company’s broader range of natural stone, terrazzo, and porcelain slabs are available right now from Anterior XL. Supplied along with a commitment to the highest levels of client service, they have what it takes to transform your spaces into timeless masterpieces.
