This classic blue-grey marble has been
widely used in high-profile prestige projects in recent years. In Copenhagen the head office
of ISS
International has its front walls protected and decorated with this strong and
handsome marble.
When the architects of the new international
airport in Oslo expressed their
desire to use stone for the floor
in the main departure
hall, the Hermelin marble was their natural choice because
of it's durability and fine appearance.
