BIANCO LARABALIKESİR · TÜRKİYE
OWNED QUARRYWESTERN TÜRKİYE

From a single
quarry face,
in Balıkesir.

Bianco Lara is not a marble we trade. It is a marble we own. The face lies in the Balıkesir region of western Türkiye, on the same geological band that gave the ancient world the marbles of Pergamon and Ephesus.

The grain is fine. The veining is soft, scattered, and warm. Polished, the surface holds a near-translucent depth, the kind of luminosity that distinguishes the best white marbles from the merely white.

We extract it ourselves. We finish it in our İstanbul plant. And we ship it, one block at a time, to the studios that ask for it by name.
