Foundation Collection: Quartz Designed for Modern, Real-Use Spaces

The Foundation Collection is a curated group of quartz surfaces selected for design clarity, material stability, and installation consistency, with an accessible starting point of $59/sq. ft. This collection is not defined by a single aesthetic direction. Instead, it offers a broad yet controlled range of quartz options—spanning both highly structured veining and softer marble movement, as well as warmer gold tones and cooler grey palettes.

The intent is not to promote one dominant look, but to provide multiple quartz surfaces that remain cohesive, dependable, and adaptable. Whether a project calls for a bold focal feature or a quieter supporting material, the Foundation Collection is designed to integrate without visual disruption or stylistic limitation.

Each surface is included for its ability to perform across varied applications—kitchens, bathrooms, bars, laundry spaces, wall cladding, and integrated furniture—while maintaining consistency in appearance and fabrication behavior.

DESIGN APPROACH

The Foundation Collection addresses a clear specification need: surfaces that can hold their role within layered interiors without competing for attention. As contemporary spaces increasingly combine mixed metals, matte cabinetry, integrated lighting systems, and textured finishes, primary surfaces must remain visually stable.

These quartz materials are selected to support that requirement through controlled movement, balanced contrast, and tonal alignment. Rather than overpowering surrounding elements, they work cohesively with cabinetry, hardware, lighting, and architectural details.

The design goal is straightforward: allow individual design elements to lead when necessary, while the surface maintains balance, clarity, and continuity across the space.

MATERIAL CHARACTERISTICS

Across the Foundation Collection, quartz surfaces maintain consistent visual structure and tonal control to support multi-slab planning, large spans, and vertical transitions. Veining is designed to align predictably across corners and waterfall edges, and coloration remains stable under different lighting temperatures—including daylight, warm residential lighting, and task-oriented LED environments.

Each material offers reliable durability, resistance to staining and daily use, and predictable seam behavior. This enables full-height wall applications, extended island coverage, and surface continuity across adjacent planes without aesthetic interruption.

The result is visual order and material reliability—supporting the overall design rather than dominating it.

THE FOUNDATION QUARTZ SURFACES

The Foundation Collection includes a growing range of quartz colors, each selected to represent a distinct visual direction while remaining compatible within a unified system. The lineup spans warm and cool tones, subtle and expressive veining, and both understated and statement-driven compositions.

Representative materials include:

• Borghini Silver Quartz – A crisp white surface defined by graceful silver and soft gray veining. The flowing pattern creates a calm, elegant visual rhythm suited to refined interiors.

• Calacatta Rocky Quartz – Varying grey veining in both thickness and movement creates a dynamic yet balanced surface that adds character without overwhelming the space.

• Calacatta Bella Quartz – A luminous white background enriched with flowing gray veining and subtle warm brown undertones, adding depth and natural character.

• Samira Gold Quartz – A soft white base layered with gentle gray movement and delicate golden accents, inspired by the warmth and softness of natural stone.

• Antico Grey Quartz – A restrained composition featuring a soft white background with fine gray veining, offering calm, understated movement.

• Cloudy Mist Quartz – A light white surface layered with gentle gray and beige tonal variation, creating a soft, cloud-like appearance.

• Soaring Statuario Quartz – A luminous white background accented by expressive gray veining that introduces depth, movement, and visual presence.

• Volakas White Quartz – Inspired by classic Volakas marble, featuring a clean white base with soft gray veining and subtle brown undertones for timeless appeal.

• Calacatta Giana Quartz – A bright white surface accented by soft, flowing gray veining that creates a clean and balanced aesthetic.

• Ocean Ripple Quartz – A calm white base highlighted by wave-like veining that gently mimics the natural movement of water.

• Van Star Quartz – A soft white surface with layered gray veining that creates natural depth and gentle, continuous movement.

• Ocean Gold Quartz – A luminous white base enriched with delicate gold veining that flows organically across the surface, adding warmth and refinement.

• Pentium Brown Quartz – A bright white base crossed with expressive gray veining and subtle brown accents that introduce warmth and contrast.

• Carrara Brown Quartz – A warm, contemporary interpretation of classic Carrara, featuring a soft white background with subtle brown and taupe undertones for an organic feel.

• Carrara Venato Quartz – A refined, modern take on Italian stone with a soft white base and delicate grey veining that flows gently and evenly.   

• Taj Mahal Quartz – A calm, beige-based tone with subtle movement, suited to low-contrast, relaxed interiors.

Together, the quartz surfaces in the Foundation Collection provide flexibility without fragmentation. More expressive patterns can be specified where emphasis is needed, while quieter materials support surrounding finishes without competing for attention. Warm undertones coordinate naturally with wood cabinetry and brushed fixtures, while cooler structures align with monochrome, minimal, or contemporary palettes.

The shared characteristic across the collection is not uniformity, but control—control of pattern, control of tone, and control of how each surface integrates into broader design decisions.
