Engraved Stone Walls by Lithos Design

Add some wow to your walls with these amazing engraved stone walls by Lithos Design. These artistic walls are inspired by the steady and determined hand of a sculptor, brought to life on a grand scale using modern technology, resulting in precise patterns that would be otherwise impossible. These modern textured walls are at their height with the interplay of light and shadow, which emphasizes their 3D design. We love these for grandiose spaces, like an entry foyer, a den with fireplace, or an open-to-above living area where a plain wall would be considered wasted space. These engraved stone walls require few adornments, no art; as they themselves are the art piece and the focal point of your home. For details visit Lithos Design.

Italian company Citco offers this fabulous architectural wall art that takes boring flat walls to exciting new heights.

And while one wouldn’t expect marble as a medium for this type of architectural wall, it has a lightness about it, despite its weight. This marble wall can be used as a modern art piece or as a fully functional room divider. This warm, earthy tone and texture contrasts the modern pattern wonderfully.
