Obsidian is a high-gloss porcelain tile inspired by the intensity of natural black marble. Designed to deliver drama, depth and architectural impact, this large-format tile transforms both walls and floors into bold design statements suited to contemporary UK interiors.
Its deep black base is cut through with striking white and subtle warm veining, creating dynamic movement across the surface. The high-gloss finish enhances contrast and reflects light beautifully, amplifying the richness of the colour while adding visual depth to open-plan spaces, feature walls and luxury bathrooms.
The generous 60×120cm format allows for fewer grout lines and a more seamless appearance, helping rooms feel expansive and cohesive. Whether specified for high-end residential renovations, boutique commercial spaces or statement kitchen floors across the UK, Obsidian delivers premium aesthetic impact with the strength and practicality of porcelain.
Unlike natural marble, Obsidian requires no sealing and offers superior resistance to stains, moisture and daily wear, making it both visually powerful and practical for modern living.
