Marshalls natural stone to transform Chepstow
Marshalls plc is supplying a £500,000 order for natural stone paving, steps, walling, tactile paving and bespoke stone masonry for Phase 2 of the landscape transformation of central Chepstow.
Offering the architect a myriad of tailor made solutions each stool, bench or seat is custom made to create original pieces of street furniture.
The range can be commissioned in a spectrum of colours from jet black to rose pink and further complemented by a selection of bespoke finishes including polished and fine picked.
All of the Stonelements Collection is designed with effortless smooth clean lines and harmonised with soft rounded edges.
Like its inspiration, the Cairn, the designs celebrate the precariously exposed, simplistic relationship of the junction between the materials.
