5. Earthworks Levantine Ivory Unfilled and Tumbled Travertine

Another from the Earthworks collection is this stunning natural stone. Levantine Ivory’s subtlety is an effect of tumbling. After being quarried and cut, the pieces are processed by tumbling water, sand and stone against stone, much like nature but quicker, creating a very authentic pattern that will remain intact for many years. This beige is also a great way to add character without too much bold colour or pattern, which can often feel very overpowering, particularly in smaller areas, making them very flexible tiles.
