BOOKMATCHING EXPLAINED
Bookmatching is a design technique that has been regaining popularity in interior design. This technique is prized for its ability to create a striking visual impact. It involves placing at least 2 adjoining slabs of natural stone, wood, or other materials so that their patterns mirror each other; resembling the open pages of a book.

MIRROR MAGIC, POETRY IN SPACE.
Bookmatching is a very intricate process. It begins with precise selection and ends with careful execution. These pieces, either stone or wood, are polished and carefully positioned side by side. The natural veining, grain, or patterns should align symmetrically. This creates a striking mirrored effect that highlights the organic beauty of the material, turning it into a captivating focal point. The result is a harmonious, balanced look that adds depth and interest to any interior space.
WHERE ART MEETS FUNCTION: SMART USES FOR BOOKMATCHING.
Bookmatching is commonly used especially in spaces where these stones and wood are featured prominently such as feature walls, backsplashes, carpentry, stairs, and any surface imaginable.

The Appeal of Bookmatching
The beauty of bookmatching lies in its natural symmetry and artistic expression. Each slab tells a unique story, with veining and patterns that can't be replicated. This technique highlights the material's natural beauty but also enhances the exclusivity in the space.
Bookmatching is more than just a design trend. Its ability to transform ordinary surfaces into extraordinary focal points makes it popular with designers and homeowners alike.
In gist, bookmatching is to capture the movement or veining from one slab to another with a continuous flow or pattern which can prove challenging and costly with organic materials.
Sintered stone slabs in our VULCAN's BM collection are curated for this purpose.
