Our Team
Value comes
with knowledge
We specialize in designing and engineering architectural works in marble and natural stone.
We operate in Pietrasanta, Tuscany, surrounded by the age-old marble deposits of the Apuan Alps which are renowned worldwide. They have always been the source of inspiration that has driven our passion for natural stone and its multiple applications in architecture and design.
Our know-how makes us optimally structured and well-organized. It is the cornerstone of our company, and the strength we leverage to offer competitiveness and excellence.
Ordine Toscano was born from the collective expertise of four professionals, who, for over 30 years have been involved in the design, planning and consultancy of internal and external marble projects. Our rich range of skills and abilities has developed over the years, first individually and then as a team, specializing in the different fields of natural stone applications. In each of our careers, we have worked with leading architectural firms, developing and executing many different projects in Italy, Europe and the rest of the world.

Technology
Adaptability and resistance add to the uniqueness of natural stone.
Over the past few years, we have fine-tuned our experience in stone materials, specifically studying different application and installation methods, in line with advances in robotics technology and processing automation. We have acquired special skills in gauging the suitability of materials to different types of projects and the combination of natural stone with other materials (wood, glass, metal, plastic, etc.) We have, as a result, enriched our approach to new assignments by offering wide-ranging, versatile, practical expertise and consultancy.
Ordine Toscano has, for some time, also been perfecting and researching new methods to produce lightweight marble, which has become one of the most widely used systems in many fields of contemporary design. Here the weight, and the irresistible charm, of the elegance of stone create a harmonious balance, which is essential when expressing original, exclusively creative styles.
