Why use mineral resin?
Jesmonite® is a building material invented in 1984 by the Stone company of the same name. It is a composite resin mixed with gypsum, water-based resin, active minerals and water. Its texture delicately expresses the calmness of stone and the smoothness of ceramic, and its users’ footprints can be seen in architecture, interior design, art, sculpture, furniture, archeology and biology.
