Ceppo,
in Los Angeles.

Italy’s pebbled marbles. Ceppo is a conglomerate — rounded clasts and fossil fragments suspended in a binding matrix — so the field reads like stacked riverbed rather than vein. A small, idiosyncratic family that runs from warm ivory to charcoal.

Ceppo Rosa di Palladio — Honed

On Ceppo

No. 01.4

Quarried in the foothills of northern Italy, where ancient riverbeds compressed into stone. Lots are irregular and the clast pattern shifts block to block.

Ceppo is geology you can read. Where a Calacatta moves in veins, a Ceppo is built from fragments — pebbles, shells and stone chips that settled, cemented and were cut through millions of years later. The result is a busy, granular field with no single direction, closer to terrazzo than to a figured marble, but entirely natural.

The family is wide. Ceppo Rosa di Palladio carries cream-to-rose tones and visible fossil work; Beige Avorio is the quiet ivory; Breccia Olympia layers taupe and gray fragments; Viola Cosmo pushes into pink and violet against a darker matrix; and Ceppo Nero inverts the whole thing — a charcoal ground lit with amber and rust. Each behaves differently in light and at scale.

Because the pattern is all-over and self-similar, Ceppo is forgiving across large runs — full-height walls, long islands, continuous floors — where a directional marble would force seam decisions. Honed reads soft and matte; leathered, as on the Nero, deepens the contrast. We’ll pull the slab for you to walk in daylight.
