There are few instances where it can truly be said that man has surpassed nature in aesthetics or permanence. Natural stones such as marble and granite, for example, have long been prized for their visual appeal and durability.However, natural stones do require ongoing maintenance, and this may see a new, designer Italian product becoming the material of choice, says Luigi Izzo, CEO of Seieffe Corporation."Okite® is the marriage between human ingenuity and natural beauty. Composed mainly of natural quartz crystals, Okite is up to 10 times more absorption resistant than granite, making it impervious to common household products such as wine and vinegar."As Okite is also a fully customizable material, it affords designers greater aesthetic creativity ideal for devising individualized looks across the full spectrum of design possibilities from traditional to contemporary.
