Volakas
The Northern Rival of Carrara: Purest White with Smoke Veins
Architectural Character & Design Philosophy
Volakas is a legendary marble quarried from Mount Falakro in Greece, serving as a symbol of nobility since antiquity. Its characteristic grey and smoke-toned diagonal veins stretching across a pure snow-white canvas bring a sense of classical elegance and infinity to any interior. The crystallized cloud effect active in the foreground emphasizes the depth of the calcite structures and the stone’s cool yet inviting texture.
MarbleCenter Engineering Strength: Thanks to its fine-grained composition, Volakas provides an exceptionally smooth surface finish. Utilizing the "Ice-Reflect" polishing technique applied by MarbleCenter, the stone’s whiteness index is maximized. With its non-porous structure and high density, it is the most homogeneous reflector of light for minimalist bathroom designs, sculptural applications, and luxury residential flooring.
