The Stone

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

Colour:

Black

A jet-black porcelain with a dense web of white veining — intense, luxurious drama for interiors that demand the deepest dark marble character.

XTone Negresco delivers the deepest, most dramatic black marble-effect in the collection. The intense jet-black surface is crossed by a complex web of fine white veining — denser and more active than the restrained Liem Black — creating a shattered-crystal effect that catches the light from every angle. This is a surface of raw luxury and unapologetic boldness. Available in Nature and Polished finishes at 6mm and 12mm thicknesses, Negresco makes a stunning kitchen island, a commanding bathroom feature wall, or a dramatic commercial bar surface.

Frequently Asked

Questions About Negresco

What is the veining like on Negresco?
Negresco has one of the most active white vein patterns in the XTone dark marble range. Its thick and thin white veins cross and intersect across the jet-black base in multiple directions, creating a dense, complex network that resembles shattered crystal or gemstone fracture patterns. More dramatic than Liem Black; more active than Aurora Noir.
Is Negresco suitable for kitchen worktops?
Yes — Negresco at 12mm makes an extraordinarily dramatic kitchen worktop or island surface. Its intense jet-black base and complex white veining creates maximum impact in contemporary and luxury kitchen environments. As XTone porcelain it is completely heat, scratch, and stain resistant.
What are the best rooms for Negresco?
Negresco is at its most powerful as a kitchen island worktop, a dramatic bathroom feature wall, a bar surface, or a statement reception desk. Its maximalist character works best where it has visual breathing space — surrounded by quieter, simpler surfaces — allowing the black veined complexity to command full attention.
Does Negresco come in a matte finish?
Yes — Negresco is available in both Nature (matte) and Polished finishes. The Polished version creates a mirror-like intensity that amplifies the drama of the white veining on the jet-black base. The Nature finish provides a more restrained, contemporary appearance where the pattern retains impact without high-gloss amplification.
How does Negresco compare to Port Laurent?
Both are jet-black with prominent veining, but with very different characters. Negresco features white veining in a complex multi-directional pattern. Port Laurent has bold sweeping warm-gold and ivory veining — opulent and flowing where Negresco is precise and architectural. Negresco is more graphic; Port Laurent is more luxurious.
★★★★★
"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!"
