In order to meet the desired aesthetic, Arezzo Cobblestones, a tumbled travertine, was selected for the flooring featured throughout the store. The stone was fabricated by Stone Tiles International and distributed by Virginia Tile Co. of Farmington Hills, MI.
The product was selected for its Old World look, according to Kathi McWilliams, creative director at JGA, Inc. of Southfield, MI, the retail design and architecture firm for the project. “As the project objectives related to the company's heritage, this stone reflected a traditional European feel,†she said.
