Blue Tempest

Blue Tempest Quartzite takes centre stage in this sophisticated kitchen, where a sculptural island, benchtop and backsplash showcase the extraordinary movement of the stone.

Deep blue, charcoal and soft mineral veining flow organically across the surface, creating a sense of depth and drama while retaining a refined, architectural quality. The generous island becomes the heart of the space, with the matching backsplash extending the stone’s natural movement vertically and creating a seamless visual connection throughout the kitchen.

Chosen for its distinctive character and timeless appeal, Blue Tempest is a natural quartzite that brings the individuality of natural stone to a contemporary interior. No two slabs are alike, making careful slab selection, composition and fabrication integral to achieving a considered result.

Artisan Stone worked across the stone selection, fabrication and installation of this kitchen, bringing specialist natural stone craftsmanship to every detail. From dramatic kitchen islands to architectural feature surfaces, we work with architects, designers, joiners, builders and homeowners throughout the South Island to source and deliver exceptional stone for considered residential interiors.
