With its own deposits, total control of the production process and presence in high-standard projects in Brazil and abroad, Michelangelo Mármores do Brasil has built a trajectory marked by excellence, authenticity and appreciation of Brazilian natural stone. A story that begins in Paraná Michelangelo was founded in 1990 with a clear mission: to value Brazil's natural wealth without giving up excellence at each stage of the process. From the beginning, the company invested in a different model from what was practiced in the sector, total control of the production chain, from its own deposits to the delivery of the sheet metal to the end customer. It is extracted, treated, processed and delivered by the same company, at the same values, with the same level of demands from the first to the last process. This model is one of the foundations of what Michelangelo calls certified authenticity and that is why the brand has become a reference for both architects and designers and large high-end construction companies in Brazil and around the world. Its own deposits in Paraná: where it all begins Michelangelo has its own deposits located in the state! Having its own deposits means that the company knows each layer of the rock it extracts. It also means a real commitment to responsible extraction: the company operates by valuing local labor and contributing to the development of the communities where it operates. Each slab of marble that comes out of there is unique. The veins are never repeated, the tones are never duplicated. Michelangelo understands this not as a limitation, but as the greatest asset of its product: the exclusivity of each plate. Quarry and Industry of Michelangelo Mármores do Brasil. Disclosure. The Iguaçu Palace and the marble that enchanted a president Long before gaining space in luxury hotels, exclusive residences and high-end developments, marble from Paraná was already part of one of the most important chapters of Brazilian architecture: the construction of an extremely important work in Curitiba, Paraná. To understand the historical significance of Paraná marble, just look at the history of the Iguaçu Palace, the seat of the Paraná government in Curitiba, opened in 1954. The Palace was covered with noble and exclusive rocks extracted from the deposits that today belong to Michelangelo Mármores do Brasil. Paraná marble remained intact for decades, testifying to the state's history on the walls and floors of the building. Headquarters of the Government of Paraná - Palácio Iguacu. Disclosure.

Michelangelo marbles: a palette for each project One of the brand's greatest differences is the diversity of its portfolio. Michelangelo offers lines with unique characteristics, ranging from minimalist projects to environments with greater impact and boldness. When we talk about white marble from Paraná originating from Michelangelo, we are talking about one of the most valued rocks on the market. Its naturally white background is a unique characteristic of the Michelangelo deposits in Paraná. There are five variations in this line: White Michelangelo®: pure white background and subtle veins; Michelangelo Nuvolato®: white background with striking golden veins, sophistication with personality; Michelangelo Prime®: white with well-defined gray veins; Michelangelo Calacatta®: white background with delicate, golden veins; Michelangelo Cielo®: slightly grayish white, fine veins, minimalist and versatile aesthetic. Michelangelo's entire line of white marbles shares an important technical characteristic: low porosity and high resistance, which makes them suitable for high traffic areas and wet areas such as kitchens and bathrooms! Michelangelo also carries different tones of unique beauty in its marble line: Grigio Michelangelo®: dark gray with white veins, perfect for modern, urban and industrial projects; Nero Michelangelo®: black rock with fendi and gray veins, for environments that call for boldness with refinement Napoleon Bordeaux®: striking red tone with white and brown veins, prominent applications where the rock is the absolute protagonist. In addition to marble slabs, the company launched the Natura® Line developed in partnership with renowned architect and landscaper Alex Hanazaki. The line brings ornamental rock in its most natural form, representing an important advance in sustainability by using marble in an innovative way. High resistance, low porosity and authenticity, ideal for outdoor environments and areas with intense circulation. Check out Michelangelo's Natura Line!
