Eldorado Stone introduces the new stone veneer Modern Collection
Eldorado Stone - TundraBrickSan Diego, CA Eldorado Stone reinvents home design trends with the all-new Modern Collection. A departure from more rustic arrangements, the Modern Collection features clean lines and a neutral color palette while manifesting Eldorado Stone’s commitment to authenticity.
Featuring six new profiles in smooth and texturized applications, the Modern Collection leads the neutral design trend with larger, linear stones in 34 new colors with cool gray, soothing black and winter white tones. Sleek and understated, this collection creates a sophisticated architectural canvas in both interior and exterior applications.
“The modern homeowner wants to create a sanctuary that is built upon quality and simplicity,” said Ramsay Hawfield, vice president of marketing and product development at Eldorado Stone. “Our Modern Collection inspires designers, architects and homeowners to create modern spaces with natural elements that will add beauty and value to their homes.”
Precise details are the cornerstone of the new collection. Hand-painted and created with a proprietary blend of natural stone and aggregate, the Modern Collection offers pieces that give the appearance of thick, naturally cut limestone blocks. Profiles like Longitude24, in soft greys and ivories with a large, silky surface on each piece, and TundraBrick, authentically molded from reclaimed European bricks in contemporary colors like Ashland and Chalk Dust, give homeowners with a modern inclination an opportunity to expand their design palates.
