Miami Beach Edition by Ian Schrager required custom extracted blocks of gem quality Pure White Onyx, bonded to tempered glass. Stone was recessed from the attachment edges, allowing the hinges to get a structural grip. Natural light of the project highlight the stone in the luxury Residences on the sand of Miami Beach.
Iliana Casino's restaurant features LED paper lighting and our lightweight backlit honey onyx panels, invisibly bookmatched to create a continuous striated pattern. Our translucent honeycomb panels weigh only 3lbs per square foot, and easily install without the heavy logistical complications of glass backed onyx panels.
White Onyx bonded to structural glass created this diamond shaped pattern using two different types of marble to control where light penetrates. Modern lighting techniques makes this effect much easier today; LED paper lighting has eliminated the need for cavity-style construction for backlighting.
Custom White Onyx was extracted specifically for the contrasting natural characteristics, with panels layered to present an unique natural display of light and stone. Custom edge and light options put light in front and behind the panels accommodate the unique design requirements.
Although Orange Jade Onyx is offered, a more economical solution was the choice of the striated Honey Onyx pattern backlit by orange lighting. The warm rich hue of the walls combines with mirrors to allow the walls to serve as the sole powered light source for the area.
The exotic nature of our semi-precious options tend to make them features; there is no finer luxury stone available than our gemstone panels in Amethyst, Pure Quartz, Sapphires, Sodalites, & other semi-precious options. The bar shown is backed with glass, but our translucent honeycomb backing can also be used.
Semi-precious Oro Jadeite bonded to starfire glass created the galley bar top of this 205ft luxury Codecasa Yacht. We carefully mapped the wood perimeter for a perfect fit, using only the rich yellow parts of the block to create an even crystal pattern within the curved perimeter - ultimate luxury.
An advantage of using the translucent honeycomb panels is our ability to complete bonded corners and returns. This has allowed designers to take advantage of the ability to backlight our casework and furniture pieces, and design more three dimensionally or even overhead applications.
Honey Onyx comes in a variety of striated or cloudy patterns and panels can be cut for wood or metal perimeters and edge treatments, or you can use our FT-20 translucent honeycomb panels for bonded edges and continuous stone returns. Ask your representative about other options available.
While backlit this display is black and gold, during the day it is red and White. Amber lighting was used to transform this lounge area into a warmer hued space. Two oversized slabs mounted to tempered glass were book matched to create an unique art display.
Pure White Onyx, gemstone quality, was used to create this luxury backlit display, featuring different colored LED lights to backlight the display. These lights changed color with remote control options to create a ever-changing light display.
Panels can be cut for wood or metal perimeters and edge treatments, or you can use our FT-20 translucent honeycomb panels for bonded edges and continuous stone returns.
This art display featured two vertically book matched pieces of Honey Onyx on single panes of laminated glass, backlit by amber light. Careful attention was paid to the veining pattern to thoroughly disguise the book-match and separation of panes.
Two oversized panes of glass featured a combination of Honey Onyx and Striated Red Onyx, both backlit by white light. Although it may be hard to see the red light up, it is due to the density of the stone, and therefore creates a negative in the lumen output.
Semi-Precious Rose Quartz, bonded to laminated glass, is featured in this luxury credenza with a mirror perimeter (shown as a shadow in photo). Quartz slabs are compounded all natural semi-precious stones, and bonded to various glass options.
Onyx is unique and can vary greatly within the same block of stone, requiring special attention for continuous and large displays; striated and cloudy patterns offer the most consistency. StoneSheets Materials offers the ability to bookmatch or use multiple panes of onyx on single panes of glass and honeycomb to create artistic patterns, or single slabs can be used to feature the natural pattern in the stone.
