Now you needn’t be a celebrity to fufill your wish of having a cat walk on a diamond flooring ramp. Yes, LuxTouch enables you install one in your abode for $1,000,000 per sq. mt, and each square metre of marble tile screams luxury by featuring over 1000 diamonds, 2400 pieces of mother of pearl, 400 pieces of abalone shell and 500 pieces of black onyx. Lately, Pietra Firma unveiled the limited edition offering of LuxTouch range at the Monaco Yacht Show.

Each sample of LuxTouch tile, flooring or ceiling is a stand-alone magnum opus of involved facet and craftsmanship. The elite LuxTouch black marble tile sports 95 brilliant cut diamonds, mother of pearl and abalone. The heart of tile comprises of a pitch-black agate circle festooned with 19 diamonds and a mother of pearl flower petal pattern that glows outwards from the centre. Each petal is a single piece of mother of pearl inlaid with huge precious cut diamond and the black agate pieces amid the petals are also encrusted with diamonds.

Each of its four corners come inlaid with mother of pearl and abalone shell, attaining a visually appealing counter balance with the blistering flower petals.

When embossed, the diamonds sit faintly hoisted above the tiles that result in the utmost tactile and visual effect. I wonder the inexpressible sensual experience one can enjoy by walking barefoot on this LuxTouch flooring.
