The Stone Tapestry is a unique natural stone showcase designed by leading architectural practice, Squire & Partners in collaboration with Stone Federation, the trade association for the natural stone industry.

This year’s version of The Stone Tapestry explores how an understanding of the process of the material’s formation can empower designers to fully utilise the versatility, natural beauty and sustainability of natural stone.

The tapestry will feature both raw and processed stone showcasing the beauty of texture and tone found in the material allowing designers to go beyond just a sample piece and bring some of the raw beauty of a quarry to the Surface Design Show floor. 

The Stone Tapestry is also seeking to shine a light on the UK’s own indigenous materials as well exploring stones from Europe.  It aims to demonstrate to interior designers and architects that the variety of colours and textures available close to home removes the requirement to specify materials travelling many thousands of miles across the world.

The piece is a truly collaborative effort featuring the expertise and materials of a host of companies including The Stonemasonry Company, Albion Stone, Hutton Stone Co. Stamford Stone, The Marble Collective and Welsh Slate.
