Pacific Gris

There is a timeless quality to slate that more dramatic stone effects often lack — its flat, even authority, its honest lack of decoration, its willingness to let the material speak purely through tone and texture. Pacific Gris distils this quality into a sintered stone format that delivers all the aesthetic appeal of natural slate with none of the fragility or maintenance demands. The dark grey surface presents the characteristic tonal variation and fine scoring of split slate, reproduced through Inalco's digital manufacturing with the kind of precision that natural stone can only achieve by chance. The textured finish of Pacific Gris is perfectly calibrated: enough surface relief to convey the tactile quality of genuine stone, but smooth enough to function properly as a kitchen worktop or bathroom surface without accumulating debris. Its dark mid-grey tone — darker than most grey marbles and lighter than the near-black of Silk Negro — occupies a distinctive position in the grey spectrum, making it incredibly versatile alongside both warm and cool-toned cabinetry. Pacific Gris is particularly well suited to outdoor kitchens and al fresco entertaining spaces, where the slate aesthetic integrates naturally with garden materials and the sintered stone's UV stability and weather resistance ensure it maintains its appearance in all conditions. Available in 12mm through In2stone, Portsmouth.
