Anastasio Home works directly with interior designers through a trade program and a made-to-order fabrication studio. Designers specify marble, stone, and metal objects — trays, catchalls, bowls, boxes, candleholders, vases, and tabletop — at trade pricing, or commission pieces that do not yet exist, in a chosen stone, finish, and dimension. Every object is designed in Connecticut and made in our own atelier and foundry in Rajasthan, India, which is what makes single pieces, small runs, and exact material matching possible.
This guide covers what to specify, how the materials behave, how a commission moves from drawing to delivery, and how trade pricing works.
What you can specify
The catalog is the starting point, not the limit. Most pieces can be remade in a different stone, finish, or dimension, and new forms can be fabricated from a sketch or reference. Designers most often specify:
- Trays, catchalls, and boxes for entries, vanities, desks, and nightstands. Trays & catchalls
- Bowls, vases, and urns turned and carved from solid stone. Bowls
- Candleholders and barware — coasters, ice buckets, and serving pieces. Candles
- Tabletops, plinths, and surrounds fabricated to architectural specification.
- Branded and bespoke metal cast and machined in brass and aluminum. Private Label
How to specify a stone object
Four decisions define a stone piece: material, finish, edge, and dimension.
Material
Marble is a metamorphic rock composed mostly of calcite, or calcium carbonate. It rates about 3 on the Mohs hardness scale and is sensitive to acids — citrus, wine, and vinegar will etch a polished surface — so it suits decorative and low-contact objects more than heavy kitchen use. Travertine is a calcium-carbonate stone deposited by mineral springs, with a characteristically open, porous texture. Because stone is selected by the block and varies in nature, specify a colour direction and expect veining to differ from piece to piece. Our Materials
Finish
A honed finish is matte and contemporary; a polished finish is reflective and traditional. Honed surfaces disguise etching better, which matters for objects that will be handled daily.
Edge and form
Specify the silhouette and the edge — a soft radius, a chamfer, a carved flute. Hand-carving holds profiles that machined stone cannot.
Dimension and quantity
Provide finished dimensions and the number of pieces. We produce a single commission as readily as a small run for a multi-room project.
Marble, travertine, and metal
We fabricate in marble and natural stone — including travertine and our Cherry Gold, a warm stone quarried in Chittorgarh, India — and in cast and machined metal, principally brass and aluminum. Because we control production end to end, a designer can match a vein across several pieces, reproduce a discontinued form, or commission an object that exists nowhere else.

Commissioning a custom piece
The process is built for specification work:
- Brief. Send a sketch, a reference image, or a material direction, with dimensions and quantities.
- Sample. We propose stones, forms, and finishes, then produce a sample for approval — the piece in hand before a run begins.
- Production. On approval, the order is cut, carved, and cast in-house, to a clear schedule with updates throughout.
- Delivery. Every piece is inspected at our Connecticut studio, then shipped to the studio, the client, or the site.
See Custom Fabrication to start a project, or the Hospitality Program for contract and amenity work.
Trade pricing and how to apply
The Trade Program gives qualified interior designers and architects preferred pricing across the collection, plus direct support on specification and custom commissions. Apply through the Trade Program with your business details, and we confirm program terms and codes directly.
Frequently asked questions
Does Anastasio Home offer trade pricing to interior designers?
Yes. The Trade Program gives qualified designers and architects preferred pricing across the collection and direct support on custom commissions. Apply with your business details on the Trade Program page.
Can you make a piece in a custom stone, size, or finish?
Yes. Most designs can be remade in a different stone, finish, or dimension, and new forms can be fabricated from a sketch or reference, because production runs through our own atelier and foundry.
What materials do you fabricate in?
Marble and natural stone, including travertine and Cherry Gold, and cast or machined metal, principally brass and aluminum. See Our Materials for the full range of stones and finishes.
Is marble suitable for everyday use?
Marble is a calcite stone that etches when it meets acids such as citrus, wine, or vinegar, so it suits decorative and low-contact objects. A honed finish disguises etching better than a polished one. See our care guide.
Can you produce a small run for a multi-room project?
Yes. We produce single commissions and small runs, sample before any full run, and ship worldwide.
How do designers start a custom project?
Send a brief — a sketch, reference, or material direction with dimensions and quantities — through the Custom Fabrication page. We respond with materials, forms, and a sampling plan.
