One of my favorite aspects of being in the design profession is getting to live vicariously through our clients.  There is a certain sense of satisfaction and contentment in helping someone else obtain the objects, materials and types of spaces I covet or desire for myself.  

One such material, for me, is Calacatta Marble.  That's Calacatta, not Calcutta.  

There is a luminosity to the milky white marble and a depth in the veining of greys and browns that I find stunning.  Calacatta has a crispness and clarity that some other, more popular varieties of marble can't claim.  It is a material that is simultaneously modern and timeless.
