The Stone

See the natural beauty of Ceppo Carabelas up close — the surface texture, colour depth, and veining that make this porcelain unique.

An authentic Ceppo di Gré conglomerate-effect porcelain with warm pebble inclusions — Milanese architectural heritage in a worry-free format.

XTone Ceppo Carabelas recreates the celebrated Ceppo di Gré — a conglomerate stone from Lombardy that has graced Milanese architecture for centuries. The surface presents a mosaic of rounded pebble-like inclusions in warm beige and cream, set within a lighter grey-beige matrix peppered with fine dark speckles. The effect is organic, complex, and unmistakably geological. Available in Nature and Texture finishes at 6mm and 12mm thicknesses, Ceppo Carabelas brings authentic Italian architectural character to kitchen worktops, bathroom surfaces, and wall cladding — with none of the porosity or maintenance concerns of the natural stone.

Frequently Asked

Questions About Ceppo Carabelas

What is Ceppo di Gre stone?
Ceppo di Gré is a celebrated Italian conglomerate stone from Lombardy — a natural aggregate of rounded pebbles and rock fragments bonded in a limestone matrix. It has been used in Milanese architecture for centuries and became particularly fashionable in contemporary interior design through its association with minimalist Italian architects.
Is Ceppo Carabelas suitable for kitchen worktops?
Yes — Ceppo Carabelas at 12mm is an excellent kitchen worktop choice for those who want genuine architectural character beyond marble or concrete effects. Its conglomerate pebble aesthetic is unique and highly tactile, and as XTone porcelain it is completely stain and heat resistant without any sealing required.
What makes Ceppo Carabelas different from other XTone surfaces?
Ceppo Carabelas is the only true conglomerate-effect design in the XTone range — distinct from marble-effects, concrete-effects, and stone-effects. Its mosaic of rounded pebble inclusions in warm beige and cream within a lighter matrix creates an organic complexity that is entirely unique in the collection.
What interior styles suit Ceppo Carabelas?
Ceppo Carabelas suits minimalist Italian-inspired, contemporary, and raw industrial interior styles. Its association with Milanese architectural design gives it a cosmopolitan sophistication. It works beautifully alongside polished concrete floors, exposed brick, and raw plaster walls.
Does Ceppo Carabelas have an anti-slip option?
Yes — Ceppo Carabelas is available in both Nature and Texture finishes. The Texture finish provides an anti-slip surface suitable for bathroom floors, wet room areas, and covered outdoor applications where authenticity of appearance combined with safety is required.
★★★★★
"Excellent Service and Beautiful Results - Highly Recommended! I recently had In2stone install new quartz worktops in my kitchen, and I couldn't be happier with the results. From start to finish, the experience was completely stress-free. The team was not only competitively priced but also incredibly friendly and professional throughout the entire process. They handled everything seamlessly - removing the existing sink, hob, and old laminate worktops before fitting the new quartz surfaces. The finished worktops are absolutely beautiful and have transformed my kitchen into a modern, minimalist space that I love spending time in. The quality of workmanship is outstanding, and the attention to detail really shows. I'm a very satisfied customer and would highly recommend In2stone to anyone considering new worktops. Well done to the entire team - you've exceeded my expectations!"
