Discover the elegance of Quartz worktops with antique brass inlays. See customised marble-effect stone with metallic accents for layered design islands and surfaces, evident in this project for our client in Yarm. This project is a masterclass in combining contemporary materials with timeless, luxury detailing. The use of Fugen Tuscany Quartz provides a bright, marble-effect foundation, but it’s the brass inlay that elevates the design into something truly bespoke.
This kitchen in Yarm demonstrates how thoughtful “layering” can transform a standard worktop into a piece of architectural furniture. By integrating an antique brass inlay between two layers of quartz, the design creates a striking horizontal “shadow gap” effect that complements the warm tones of the dark wood cabinetry.
- Material: Fugen Tuscany Quartz
- Island Construction: 20mm base + Brass Inlay + 30mm top
- Finish: Polished with Bevel Edge Detail
- Hardware: Antique Brass Layer and matching Handles & Inlays
- Cabinetry: Contrast of White Shaker & Dark Wood Grain

The Island Worksurface Sandwich of Stone and Brass
Material Harmony and Antique Brass Accents
Antique Brass Accents maintain a cohesive look, the brass inlay is mirrored in the cabinetry hardware, the tap, and even the stunning gold hexagonal mosaic splashback.
Design Tip: Using Quartz with Brass Inlay is an excellent way to bridge the gap between modern stone surfaces and traditional wooden cabinetry, pulling the warm tones of the wood into the cold surface of the stone.
