Dezeen promotion: floor-and wall-covering brand Ariostea has added the Michelangelo Altissimo?, Brilliant Green and Verde Saint Denis marble-look textures to its Ultra Marmi? collection of large porcelain slabs.
The three new marble-effect textures form part of the Ultra Marmi? collection of porcelain stoneware, which can be used to cover walls, floors as well as to make items of furniture.
Like all of the 32 colours in the Ultra Marmi? range, each of the Michelangelo Altissimo?, Brilliant Green and Verde Saint Denis textures are available in large slabs of up to 4.5-metres squared.
Brilliant Green has been added to the Ultra Marmi? collection
The Brilliant Green texture is designed to look like Irish green marble ? a rare type of marble that is quarried in Connemara, Ireland. Ariostea's porcelain stoneware enables users to achieve the same "soothing" effect of this rare marble on walls, floors or furniture, but with a cheaper material that is also practical and functional.

"The surface of Brilliant Green has an amazing iridescent green base, in which the dense, dark shades mingle with lime and white undertones," explained the brand.
"The great attention paid to the texture and highly realistic colours conjure up images of excitingly powerful and wild nature that is also soothing, just like the green Irish landscapes," it added.
