Description

Chicago Tower is a quartz that closely resembles the renowned Board of Trade building at the heart of the windy city. It is inspired by the skyscrapers that Chicago is known for and the intermingled hues of light gray and black will be able to take you back to the industrialist period of American history. Timeless yet still apropos to modern-day concepts, the palettes that are included with Chicago Tower can pair well with the Art Deco style that the Chicago skyscrapers were known for.

The patterns of white, gray, and black specks make the Chicago Tower a quartz design that is emphasized by any number of pigments and hues. An all-white collection of colors can greatly enhance the appeal and appearance of one’s interiors. The Chicago Tower can be a sentiment that resonates for homeowners that enjoy an urban-like concept. The light gray backdrop from the Chicago Tower will provide a sense that will connect your home decor. Depths that are sensibly articulated within the dimensions of this quartz will help you choose which Art Deco pieces to add and which settings to arrange.
