Dearborn — Industria Caffè Crema

A Techo-Bloc manufacturer design study using Industria Smooth slabs and Raffinato Steps in Caffè Crema — a warm, large-format slab surface with coordinated step elements. This is a manufacturer-published design example, not a Black Diamond project.

The Caffè Crema colorway pairs well with natural stone, warm wood tones, and contemporary outdoor furniture. Industria Smooth is available in 600 × 600 mm and 900 × 600 mm formats at 60 mm thickness. Utah stock and lead time should be confirmed with your Black Diamond designer.
