Vein Cut
As the name suggests, Vein Cut is a marble cut in the opposite direction of its veins. The sectioning creates an infinity of brown and pink dots and dashes on a white or cream background. Its application on tiles gives rise to a curious surface that suggests a warm and rough texture, reminiscent of organic materials.
