Marca Corona Scultorea Dark Diamond 2"x10"

Description

Marca Corona Scultorea Dark Diamond 2″x10″ — Premium Porcelain Subway Tile from Italy

The Marca Corona Scultorea Dark Diamond 2×10 is an Italian marble-look porcelain tile featuring a deep black ground with sharp, crystalline white veining. Manufactured by Marca Corona in Sassuolo, this rectangle (brick / listello) format is part of the celebrated Scultorea collection — a porcelain tribute to Carrara marble and the Apuan Alps, engineered for the durability of glazed porcelain and the visual depth of natural stone.

About the Scultorea Collection

Scultorea is Marca Corona’s flagship marble-effect porcelain stoneware collection, drawing inspiration from the white marbles that Michelangelo himself sourced from the Apuan Alps. The collection spans large-format slabs up to 120×278 cm down to intimate chevron, hexagon, and brick formats, allowing designers to specify a single material story across floors, walls, and architectural details. Dark Diamond delivers an inky black ground broken by bright, almost crystalline white veining — Marca Corona’s reinterpretation of dramatic marbles like Nero Marquina and Black Diamond. The palette reads bold and architectural, ideal for statement walls, fireplace surrounds, and high-contrast bathroom designs. Within the Scultorea palette, Dark Diamond pairs especially well with matte brass, polished nickel, smoked oak, and pale plaster walls.

Installation & Applications for Dark Diamond 2×10

The 2.5″ x 9.5″ (6×24 cm) brick / listello format gives Scultorea a subway-style proportion at a slightly elongated, more modern scale than a traditional 3×12. The rectified edges support tight grout joints (1.5–2 mm typical) and a wide range of patterns — running bond, stack bond, vertical stack, and herringbone all work well. Recommended applications include kitchen backsplashes, bathroom walls, shower surrounds, powder room accents, and laundry / mudroom walls. The size and rectified edges also make this a strong candidate for a herringbone pattern when paired with a complementary Scultorea hexagon floor.
