A material study / 015
Sandstone & Marble
Warm stone, cool marble & patterned light.
One earthy palette moves from bedroom to bath, with sandstone warmth, pale marble and light shaped by a carved screen.
01 / The palette
Six colors, one atmosphere.
Screen colors are authored interpretations. Material photographs show surface character; they are not calibrated color samples.
02 / Play with the composition
Let the light do the carving.
Keep the large stone fields simple so the screen’s shadow can become the pattern. Pale marble gives the warm wall colour a crisp edge, while a deeper brown holds the recesses.

Sources & interpretation
The Met’s red sandstone jali demonstrates how a carved stone surface can also shape light. Here that principle informs two imagined rooms, with warm walls and pale stone kept distinct.
The palette follows the authored material references in this collection. Room, object and material imagery were created for this study. These are imagined settings, with no affiliation to the fictional interface brands.
The controls explore screen composition, not physical pigment recipes or material measurements. Image rights · Image permissions
