Hermelin (Antique Fonce)

Producer: Norwegian Rose, Fauske - Norway

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.
