Acif Kauri
Contemporary Patio, San Francisco
Kauri is an Italian glazed porcelain which uses inkjet capabilities to create the look of petrified wood in three finishes. The bark is a rough, textured finish to represent the outside of the tree, while the Natural (matte) and Lappato (semi-polished) finishes both represent the inside core of the tree. There is separate graphic development for the Bark finish that is different from the other two finishes. All sizes are rectified with the Lappato being rectified a second time to a smaller size after polishing. Expect a lot of variation within each color.
