Why it is trending

Designers call it marble en masse: the slab climbs the wall instead of stopping at the counter. Fewer joints also mean less cleaning behind the hob.

How to get the look

  1. 1Run the same slab from the counter up the wall so the veins line up.
  2. 2A 10 cm marble ledge along the back holds oil and spices.
  3. 3Seal it well and wipe oil splashes the same day.
