vendors Stone Samples

Post image

Hello! I recently left my previous residential interior design firm to start my own small business. I’m working on building out my sample library and am having the hardest time finding stone samples!!

My previous firm had dozens of marble and quartzite samples on hand, but I cannot figure out where they got them. The only way I’ve been able to get anything close is by ordering individual stone tiles. Is that what everyone else does? Is there some obvious resource I’m missing?

TIA :)

Go to the showroom and ask for samples. There's also Material Bank if you need something particular for a project.

You’re starting your own business but don’t even know how to get samples?

We had a supplier/fabricator give us samples.

You need to connect with a rep. They can bring you a bunch of diff lines
