Ariston Marble, revered for its smoothness and durability, is an exquisite natural stone that effortlessly brings elegance into any space. It’s a fantastic choice for worktops in traditional and modern interiors owing to its unique characteristics. As versatile as it is beautiful, Ariston White adds elegance to any interior design project.
History and Origins of Ariston Marble
The history of this white Marble quarrying dates back to the last few decades. The quarries are on Mt. Falakro, near the village of Granitis or in Drama, Macedonia, in Greece.
The operators extract the marble using modern and environmentally friendly methods, with large quantities of the best stone selections they excavate during the most productive exploitation periods.
The quarries are known for extracting Ariston (Kyknos White), a premium, almost pure white stone, and the marble is available in raw, squared blocks, slabs, and tiles of the finest quality.
The name “Ariston” means “best marble”, and the quarry is prevalent for the warm veining patterns on the white background. Ariston is highly regarded and has been used in several prestigious projects.
Ariston Colours and Patterns
An Ariston Marble worktop is defined by its stunning white base that exudes purity and sophistication. This pristine white palette is accompanied by captivating light grey veins dancing across the marble surface, creating unique patterns and variations. Its combination of impeccable white and subtle grey veining ensures that each worktop made from Ariston White is unique, just like a work of art.
Combining Ariston White Marble in Interior Designs
Blend it with other materials, fabrics, and accessories in your design projects.
With its striking white background and inviting grey veins, Ariston White quickly becomes a statement piece in modern and traditional interiors.
You may wonder, ‘How can I showcase this gorgeous natural stone in my interior design projects?’ Look no further. Your answer is right here.
Blending Ariston Marble with Modern Interiors
In a modern design scenario, combine your Ariston Marble worktops with modern, minimalist kitchen units in contrasting colours like black or grey. This creates a stunning contrast, making the natural patterns of Ariston White the centrepiece of your interior. Opt for high-gloss finishes on your cabinetry and stainless-steel appliances for an ultra-sophisticated look. Complement this modern scheme with bar stools having metallic accents and countertops in glass or mirror finishes.
Mixing Ariston Marble with Traditional Interiors
Ariston White Marble pairs perfectly with wooden cabinetry, featuring intricate mouldings or columns for traditional interiors. Pairing these authentic natural materials together elevates the aesthetics of your space, creating a warm and inviting environment. To complete your classic interior, opt for oil-rubbed fixtures and vintage accessories such as ceramic vases, antique wall clocks or rugs with traditional patterns.
Merging Ariston with Fabrics and Accessories
Mirroring the hues in your Ariston White Marble worktop with fabrics and accessories can create a harmonious colour palette. For example, select soft furnishings in shades of grey to echo the veins in your Ariston White. Silver-toned accessories, white linen curtains, or plush cushions in rich textures would enhance this theme further, resulting in a truly cohesive and balanced scheme.
Blending Ariston White Marble with Other Materials
Blend Ariston with wood, metal, or glass materials. The raw, natural appeal of Ariston White pairs beautifully with the cool touch of metallic finishes or the rustic charm of wood.
Consider incorporating a wooden dining table or a metal-framed mirror in a harmonious blend in a room showcasing an Ariston worktop. You’ll be amazed at how beautifully these materials coexist!
Ariston Marble for Outdoor Surfaces

Low Porosity, Low Maintenance and High Heat Resistance
Beyond their striking appearance, Ariston worktops are renowned for their low porosity, low maintenance requirements, and high heat resistance, making them the ideal choice for busy households and high-traffic commercial spaces.
Low Porosity – Ariston White marble has a lower porosity than other stones. This means its surface has fewer microscopic holes, resulting in better resistance to spilt liquids and stains. Your worktop remains pristine and fully functional even with rigorous use.
Low Maintenance -Requiring minimal upkeep, an Ariston kitchen or bathroom worktop is simple to clean. A quick wipe with a damp cloth followed by a dry cloth is generally enough to keep this eye-catching marble shining. This advantage saves you valuable time while helping to maintain a sophisticated aesthetic in your interiors.
High Heat Resistance – The durability of Ariston White marble doesn’t stop at its resilience against liquids and stains. This natural stone remarkably stands up to high heat, even in the most demanding kitchens or bathrooms. It resists heat from a steaming pot or a straightening iron, ensuring longevity and preserving the opulent look of your stone worktop.
To illustrate these excellent features, consider the effortless elegance and easy upkeep of a professional kitchen or a busy family bathroom. Ariston worktops are both an investment in quality and a commitment to exquisite design.
It’s time to embrace pure grandeur that comes with practical benefits tailored to the unique requirements of every homeowner, building firm, or architectural professional.
