About Us
We have been cutting stone since 1988
Deco Block began as a workshop in Lebanon. Machines, slabs, and one trade learned properly. Nearly forty years later the same floor is still running, and the same hands are still finishing the work.
The workshop
It started with architectural stone. Floors, staircases, facades, kitchens. Work that gets walked on for decades and has to be cut right the first time.
That is where the standard came from. Nobody notices a well cut edge. Everybody notices a bad one.
The second generation
In 2024 the son took what the workshop already knew how to do and pointed it somewhere new. Not buildings. Homes.
Coasters, trays, tissue boxes, ashtrays, sculptures, and now furniture. Small pieces, cut on the same machines, held to the same tolerance as a staircase.
Three machines, one floor
Most brands at this price design a piece and send it out to be made. We bought the machines instead. It is slower to start and it is the reason we can cut anything, in any size, without asking permission.
Waterjet
Cuts precisely, using water.
A high pressure jet of water cuts straight through marble, granite, metal and glass. There is no heat, so nothing burns, warps or discolours at the edge. This is the machine for inlay, curves and thick stone.
CNC router
Engraves precisely, on hard material.
Carving, lettering, relief work, shaped edges and profiles, repeatable across a whole run. Marble is what we are known for, but it works wood just as well.
Laser
Engraves fine detail.
Lettering, logos, monograms and patterns, marked into the surface at a level of detail the other two cannot reach. Often the last pass on a piece cut elsewhere in the workshop.
Slabs are imported from Europe and chosen block by block. Everything after that happens in Lebanon, on our own floor, finished by hand.
A piece of Lebanese stone in every Lebanese home
That is the whole ambition. Not a showroom piece kept for guests. Something that sits on your table on an ordinary Tuesday, and is still there in thirty years.
Marble has always been in Lebanese homes. It was just never affordable in a form you could actually use. Owning the machines is what changes that.
Come see the work
Every piece is cut from a single block, so no two are the same. Yours will be the only one.
