Monolithic kitchen island in speckled black quartz resin with grains sparkling under a warm spotlight and a gold tap, a Michelessi vision

Since 1976 — a Michelessi vision

Quartz resin,
harder than granite

Twenty variants of composite quartz in slabs of 305 × 140 centimetres: technology in the service of stone, crafted to measure in Aprilia, Italy.

The absolute white — a Michelessi vision

Under vacuum,
absolute white

01 Quartz crystal and silica sands, still loose on the black table.

02 Resin sinks between the grains, then the membrane draws tight and takes the air away.

03 The veil lifts: absolute white remains, compact, without a single pore.

ABSOLUTE WHITE QUARTZ RESIN · MATT BLACK BASE · BRASS PROFILES

Design vision: absolute white quartz resin worktop cascading over a matt black island with brass profiles, in a dark theatrical setting

Picture the room in darkness and a single stone alight: the absolute-white quartz resin top cascades down the flanks of the black island, while brass profiles trace the line where the two halves meet. This is a vision from our design studio — contrast carried to its most theatrical point, white gathering all the light and black serving as its stage. A project conceived for those who want the kitchen to be the first thing one sees, and the last one forgets.

The collection

Stone that is born
of a spark of quartz

Quartz resin — composite quartz — is technology's answer to natural stone: quartz, silica sands and coloured pigments are blended together and then vibro-compacted through a special vacuum process that gives each slab absolute density. The result is moulded slabs of 305 × 140 centimetres, in thicknesses of 2 and 3 centimetres, with remarkable technical properties that lend themselves beautifully to the crafting of signature kitchen worktops.

Harder than granite, with virtually no water absorption, acid-resistant and antibacterial: composite quartz is the ideal material for interior architecture and for the indoor and outdoor surfaces of refined, modern homes and public spaces. Its beauty holds its own even alongside traditional natural stone, and the major international certifications it has earned — DIN for Europe, ASTM for the United States, ISO 9001/14000 and NSF — attest to its uncompromising quality. In the Michelessi workshop in Aprilia, where we have been crafting marble to measure since 1976, every slab is cut, edged and finished with the same care we reserve for the most precious materials, in the finest tradition of Italian craftsmanship.

In this collection we present the twenty colour variants of our catalogue: from the absolute whites of Montebianco and Bianco Neve to the crystal-studded blacks of Nero Diamante, through the warm earths of Smyrna and Palmira and the greys of Tundra and Silver Grey, all the way to the deep red of Rosso Diamante. Browse them one by one: every slab has a character of its own.

Tundra quartz resin slab: grey ground with white clouding, Michelessi composite for countertops and cladding

Quartz resin

Tundra,
Silver Mists on Quartz

Read this surface as you would read a northern sky: a deep, quiet grey crossed by white cloudings that surface like morning mist. This is Tundra quartz resin, a composite of quartz, silica sands and pigments, vacuum vibro-compacted to absolute density. Its ultra-fine grain holds the light and returns it with discretion, never a loud reflection: a material made for modern, refined spaces, from interior and exterior cladding to kitchen countertops.

Harder than granite, with virtually no water absorption, acid-resistant and antibacterial, it carries the international DIN, ASTM, ISO 9001/14000 and NSF certifications. Slabs of 305 by 140 centimetres, in 2 or 3 centimetre thickness, allow broad, continuous compositions, which Michelessi cuts and finishes to measure with the patience of true Italian craftsmanship, following your project millimetre by millimetre. Set it beside pale wood or natural stone: its low voice will bind every element of the room into a single suspended atmosphere.

Gharma quartz resin, uniform dark brown, Michelessi composite slab for kitchens and cladding

Quartz resin

Gharma,
the Depth of Brown

There is an ancient calm in this deep brown, a tone of toasted earth recalling cocoa and ebony by candlelight. Gharma quartz resin is a uniform surface with an impalpable grain, where the eye finds no interruption: only depth. It is born from a blend of quartz, silica sands and selected pigments, vacuum vibro-compacted through a special process that guarantees total density.

The result is a material harder than granite, with virtually no water absorption, acid-resistant and antibacterial, certified DIN, ASTM, ISO 9001/14000 and NSF. In the kitchen it becomes an elegant, tireless worktop; on the wall, a dark backdrop that makes every object placed before it shine. The 305 by 140 centimetre slabs, 2 or 3 centimetres thick, lend themselves to Michelessi's bespoke workmanship: artisans who shape, chamfer and polish until the material fits your space perfectly. If you seek an enveloping tone that lends weight and intimacy to a room, Gharma will greet you each day with the same serenity.

Bianco Alaska quartz resin, uniform cream white, Michelessi composite surface for luminous interiors

Quartz resin

Bianco Alaska,
the Silence of Snow

Picture first light on a field of untouched snow: no footprint, no ripple, only a warm radiance stretching to the horizon. Bianco Alaska quartz resin is exactly this: a total, silent cream white that returns a soft, continuous luminosity to any room. Its perfectly uniform surface is born of quartz, silica sands and pigments, vacuum vibro-compacted to a density greater than granite.

Water absorption is virtually non-existent, acid resistance is high, and the antibacterial nature of quartz makes it ideal for kitchen countertops as well as interior and exterior cladding for homes and public buildings. DIN, ASTM, ISO 9001/14000 and NSF certifications attest to its quality. Michelessi works it in slabs of 305 by 140 centimetres, 2 or 3 centimetres thick, shaping it to measure: surfaces made in Italy, where the slab becomes countertops, splashbacks and cladding perfectly faithful to your design.

Terra quartz resin, beige with light white veils, Michelessi composite slab for kitchen countertops and cladding

Quartz resin

Terra,
the Warmth of a Pale Horizon

A warm, enveloping beige, crossed by barely whispered white veils that surface like traces of chalk on a beach at sunset: Terra quartz resin brings the breath of Mediterranean landscapes indoors. Look closely and you will find a minute, warm speckling that makes the surface vibrate without ever disturbing its calm.

It is a composite of quartz, silica sands and pigments, vacuum vibro-compacted: a technique that makes it harder than granite, with virtually no water absorption, acid-resistant and antibacterial. DIN, ASTM, ISO 9001/14000 and NSF certifications confirm its reliability in every use, from interior and exterior cladding to the hardest-working kitchen countertops. Slabs measure 305 by 140 centimetres, in 2 or 3 centimetre thickness, and offer themselves to Michelessi's made-to-measure workmanship, guiding the material from cutting to installation.

Silver Grey quartz resin, fine-grained anthracite grey, Michelessi composite surface

Quartz resin

Silver Grey,
Graphite Touched by Light

A severe, supremely elegant anthracite grey, like the graphite of a freshly sharpened pencil: Silver Grey quartz resin dresses interiors in refined shadow, its ultra-fine grain revealing a discreet shimmer under raking light. It is the ideal surface for lovers of measured contrast: beside white its depth ignites, beside wood it turns to velvet.

Beneath this dark skin works a formidable structure: quartz, silica sands and pigments vacuum vibro-compacted, for a hardness greater than granite and virtually no water absorption.

Bianco Cristallo quartz resin, ivory with minute crystalline grain, Michelessi composite surface

Quartz resin

Bianco Cristallo,
Weaves of Fine Ice

There is a whiteness that is never flat: the whiteness of newly formed ice, made of minute crystals pressed close together.
