A stone library for architects and makers. Scroll to follow the wire through the block, then spin the rack and pull out the slab you want to touch.
01, the saw
Every slab on the rack starts as a block like this one. A braided steel wire, beaded with diamond, runs round the guide wheels and through the stone until the face falls away clean.
02, the library
Before a block leaves the yard, a 20 mm slab is cut from its best face and stood in the rack. When you order, you order the block you held, not a photograph of a cousin.
03, the index
Drag to spin it. Hover a slab and the raking light runs across its veins. Click one and it slides out to fill the screen, with its name, origin and finish.
Open the rack40 slabs from 14 countries, each 1.5 by 1.9 metres. Filter by colour, hardness or finish and the rack reorders itself to put the matches in front.
