Stone Artem Vinyl

Piedra Artem: expressive stone with earth and mocha undertones

Piedra Artem is a technical stone-effect vinyl with a more expressive and tonal mineral reading than softer uniform stones. The surface starts from a warm mineral beige and develops through layers of camel, earthy browns, soft taupe and mocha brown, combined with small darker inclusions and warm grey veils that add depth. It is not a flat or overly neutral stone: it has drawing, contrast and presence, while still keeping a balanced enough base to integrate naturally into residential and contract interiors. The overall look recalls a brecciated or sedimentary stone reinterpreted through a contemporary lens, bringing a refined material rhythm to the surface.

In decorative compositions, it works especially well with wood-effect finishes in light and medium tones, where its warm palette helps create more enveloping spaces. Combined with soft cement looks, it gains a more architectural tension and material presence. When paired with light marble effects and solid colours in linen, sand, taupe or off-white, the surface feels more ordered and refined. It also sits naturally with tactile textiles, natural fibres and restrained metal accents, reinforcing its decorative versatility.

Because of its ability to introduce tonal emphasis, Piedra Artem works especially well in modern, contemporary, refreshed classic and Mediterranean interiors. In a kitchen it can become the visual focal point of a countertop, splashback or island; in a bathroom, the protagonist surface of a shower wall or a full vertical panel; and on a table or other horizontal top, a piece with more material depth than a uniform stone. It has an eclectic and versatile condition: it shifts with the setting, but consistently brings a clear mineral elegance.

Its most natural applications are countertops, kitchen splashbacks, islands, tables, shower walls, vanity areas, decorative walls and bathroom floors. It can also be used on kitchen furniture, smooth cabinet fronts and other vertical surfaces where a stone pattern with more movement is required. It is available in matte, gloss and an R10 anti-slip safety finish for floors, especially recommended for residential bathrooms and areas without frequent furniture dragging.

Technical block

Piedra Artem is designed to upgrade surfaces without building work while delivering high technical performance. It is waterproof, steam-resistant, suitable for frequent cleaning and visually stable in continuous use. In kitchen settings, two qualities are especially important: its fire-rated behaviour and its true waterproof performance, suitable for splashes, constant humidity and intense water exposure. In showers, bathrooms and horizontal surfaces such as countertops, islands, tables or bars, it can perform in situations involving standing water, provided the application is correctly installed. It also includes UV protection, helping preserve colour both indoors and outdoors while preventing yellowing or colour loss over time. It complies with DIN EN 13501-1 fire performance standards.

Durability and manufacturing

Its durability reaches up to 8 years outdoors and more than 10 years indoors. Like the rest of Lokoloko’s stone-inspired collection, Piedra Artem is an original design created by the Lokoloko studio, manufactured in Spain with German raw material and certified eco inks. It is conceived not as a generic print, but as a high-performance technical surface with a material reading intended for real spaces.

Surface compatibility

Recommended surfaces: smooth well-bonded tiles, flat walls, even countertops, kitchen fronts, lacquered or melamine furniture in good condition, and tables or bars with a firm substrate.

Precautions before installation: avoid heavy textured walls, dust or grease build-up, exposed silicone, flaking paint or unstable substrates. On floors, it is not the best option for areas with constant dragging of heavy furniture.
