In Focus – Lithic Australia
Lithic Australia’s journey begins with a unique creative approach, aiming to introduce structurally superior products that empower the local market to explore the vast capabilities of natural stone.
As Lithic Australia’s managing director Martin Spencer explains, “our vision is to redefine the narrative around natural stone and celebrate it as a sustainable, structural, low-maintenance and aesthetically superior building material. We want to inspire the use of natural stone in this country to its full capacity by educating and exposing the misconceptions that have limited its progress here.”
Integral to Lithic Australia’s philosophy is a vision statement that encapsulates principles of both style and integrity. This commitment extends beyond simple aesthetics – it emphasises a dedication to quality and to presenting the best possible product to every customer. The company takes the time to listen and understand each client’s requirements, creating synergy between the client’s vision and the inherent qualities of natural stone.
This dual commitment forms the foundation for a curated collection that invites clients to view natural stone not just as a building material but as a dynamic canvas for creative expression. Lithic Australia’s product range features carefully selected stones with unique characteristics suited to a range of client needs. They include Viridian, which features white frosting on a base of deep verdant olive, creating a rich symphony of colour and texture. Terracotta Travertine is a testament to rustic charm and Mediterranean sensibilities, where yellow, gold and pink accents blend seamlessly into autumnal brown whorls, culminating in a base of red and orange. Melotti Selva, an Italian marble, glitters with gold and chestnut before melting into a milky base of bone and light brown.
Beyond the allure of these individual stones, Lithic Australia’s commitment to knowledge stands as a defining feature. “When customers ask for the stories behind our products, we can help connect them with the essence of a stone and help them create a deeper connection with this piece of history,” says Martin. The upcoming launch of educational conferences, white papers and CPD courses in early 2024 underscores the company’s dedication to sharing its wealth of knowledge with architects and designers across the country.
Lithic Australia is more than a supplier of natural stone: it is a curator of possibilities, an educator and a trailblazer in an industry poised for transformation. The company invites the exploration of the full spectrum of natural stone’s potential, redefining the narrative and establishing a connection between art, history and the enduring beauty of the earth’s creations.
