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

Colour:

Black

Style:

Plain

An uncompromisingly pure, solid black porcelain — bold, minimal, and endlessly dramatic for kitchens and surfaces that mean business.

XTone Solo Black is design reduced to its most powerful statement — pure, uncompromising solid black. With absolutely no veining, texture, or tonal variation to soften its impact, this surface commands every room it enters with quiet authority. Available in Nature and Polished finishes and up to 20mm thickness, Solo Black suits bold contemporary kitchens, dramatic bathroom walls, and striking commercial surfaces. The Polished finish amplifies its depth into a near-mirror quality, while Nature gives it a sophisticated matte that absorbs light. Solo Black proves that sometimes the most powerful design move is the simplest one.

Frequently Asked

Questions About Solo Black

What makes Solo Black different from the black marble-effects?
Solo Black is a completely plain, solid, textureless black — no veining, speckle, or tonal variation of any kind. Where Aurora Noir, Liem Black, Negresco, Nylo Noir, and Port Laurent all have white or gold veining patterns, Solo Black is pure uncompromising black. It is the minimalist's black surface of choice.
Is Solo Black available for kitchen worktops?
Yes — Solo Black is available up to 20mm thickness, making it one of the few plain black surfaces available in a proper worktop specification. The 20mm version creates a commanding solid black edge profile, and the Polished version becomes nearly mirror-like in its depth — extraordinary for high-spec contemporary kitchens.
Does Solo Black show fingerprints easily?
All polished dark surfaces reveal fingerprints more readily than matte surfaces. Solo Black in Nature (matte) finish minimises this significantly. In Polished finish, fingerprints are more visible but wipe away instantly with a dry cloth. For a kitchen island, the Nature finish is generally the more practical daily choice.
What design styles suit Solo Black best?
Solo Black suits architectural minimalism, contemporary luxury, industrial-chic, and dark-palette interior design. It works powerfully in all-dark luxury kitchens, minimalist bathrooms with matte black hardware, and commercial environments where a premium, controlled aesthetic is desired.
Can Solo Black be used alongside veined black marbles in one project?
Yes — pairing Solo Black with a veined black marble-effect like Liem Black or Aurora Noir creates a sophisticated tonal scheme where the veined surface adds pattern interest while Solo Black provides visual rest. For example, Solo Black as a kitchen splashback with Liem Black as the worktop creates a composed, architectural dark scheme.
★★★★★
"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!"
