Process
From the block to installation
The block chosen at the quarry, the survey on site, cutting, handwork, inspection and installation. Six steps followed by one workshop, in Lanciano.
Selection
The block chosen at the quarry, from five countries.
Templating
On-site survey, templates to the millimetre.
Cutting
Milling machines and CNC follow the veining, read by eye.
Hand
Inlay, carving, basins hollowed from solid stone.
Inspection
Every piece checked and crated.
Installation
Lamar's team on site, in Italy and abroad.
Six steps
One hand, from the first cut to the job site
Selection
The block chosen at the quarry, from five countries.
Marble, stone and onyx come from five countries. The block or slab is chosen at the quarry, looking at colour and veining before any cut is made.
Templating
On-site survey, templates to the millimetre.
On site, every measurement is taken and templates are prepared: each piece is drawn on the real space, to the millimetre.
Cutting
Milling machines and CNC follow the veining, read by eye.
Milling machines and CNC cut slabs, profiles and inlays. The position of each cut is decided by reading the veining by eye, so book-matched slabs stay continuous.
Hand
Inlay, carving, basins hollowed from solid stone.
Inlays, carved surrounds, washbasins hollowed from a solid block: what the machine cannot do is done by hand, in the workshop.
Inspection
Every piece checked and crated.
Every piece is inspected before it leaves the workshop, then packed and crated for transport.
Installation
Lamar's team on site, in Italy and abroad.
The Lamar team installs, in Italy and abroad. On job sites run with Helvetic Building Management, the partner coordinates the site and checks compliance with SIA standards.
Machines and hand
Two ways of working, one workshop
Machines
Since 2002 the factory in the Zona Artigianale of Lanciano has added milling machines and CNC to the chisel: precise cuts, complex profiles and repeatable inlays, even on large-format slabs.
Hand
Carving, inlay and finishing remain manual. Every washbasin begins as a solid block, hollowed in the workshop: the veining stays whole, in all its depth.
