For the kitchen, featuring a large central island, the owners dreamed of Calacatta Gold marble, but knowing how expensive and delicate it is, they opted for a Neolith porcelain tile that perfectly imitates marble. The result? A bright and chic kitchen, with white cabinets and stainless steel appliances that generate a most successful contrast between classic and modern.
