A Tribute to Roman Grandeur

Reviving the Glory of the Eternal City

Travertine, originally quarried from Tivoli, Italy, has been revered since the reign of Emperor Augustus as the “noble stone” of Roman architecture. Formed through millennia of tectonic shifts and volcanic activity, it carries deep historical and cultural significance across Europe.

The irregular pores on its surface express a delicate, internal complexity—offering depth and personality to architectural design and spatial storytelling. This unique character was immortalized in monuments like the Colosseum, where travertine symbolized imperial power and prestige.

Inspired by this rich legacy, Bornhow transforms the ancient soul of the Colosseum’s outer façade into Travertine—a flexible stone panel that channels timeless craftsmanship. Its clean lines, natural texture, and warm hues infuse every space with layers of elegance, strength, and story.
