All of De Ferranti’s handpicked craftsmen are adept at combining old methods with modern technology to create products that are ideal for contemporary interiors. With eco-consciousness of the utmost importance, De Ferranti is also sourcing, reclaiming and reinventing materials where possible and can provide, for example, reclaimed teak flooring and tiles recreated from exquisite sea and freshwater shells.
De Ferranti’s customers are highly discerning individuals in search of distinctive decoration, which is why the product range is constantly being supplemented to answer this demand. Many clients seek the ultimate in opulent surfaces, but exclusive needn’t always be expensive. There are a number of stock products such as honed and textured limestone that provide affordable luxury.
