Around the world with Technistone®

Hardly anyone knows that hardened stone has been produced in Hradec Králové for more than 25 years, and under the Technistone® brand. Since 1997, Technistone‘s in-house development and innovative approach has made the company one of the world leaders in this field. Every year, it comes up with new original decors that customers in more than 75 countries ask for.

Technistone® is an uncompromising blend of quality, design and functionality. It is a modern material that will become the pearl of every interior and exterior.

If you like to travel, you‘ve certainly see how the use of stone varies in different parts of the world.  Have you ever noticed that to the east the tradition of building in stone is much more widespread? This is also true of Mediterranean countries such as Greece, Italy and Spain where historically stone has ben a component part of both interior and exterior design, thanks to both its durability and accessability.

Throughout central and northern Europe however, due in large part to abundant forests, the dominant raw material has long been wood and wood products.

Today, the combination of these two elements, wood and stone, has created a trend that is gaining traction globally. In combination with wood, stone becomes a pleasant addition that adds permanence, beauty, variety and a unique touch of nature to contemporary interior designs.
