We’re huge fans of marble, so it was great to be part of this spectacular project from Alexander Owen Architecture that showcased this natural stone so perfectly. We were also delighted when ‘Hansler Road’ was awarded Highly Commended for New Build Modern Style Stone Cladding at the Natural Stone Awards. The project called for two new marble-clad single-storey spaces to be added to a Victorian mid-terrace home in East Dulwich […]

Return to the rockface

Several years ago we were asked to create a piece with an unusual edge, so we invested in a special machine that could achieve the look required. We undertook several projects but only recently has the edge, called rockface, resurfaced. Rockface edging has a unique look, unfinished and rough. It works to the strengths of the stone, showing patterns and veins usually hidden under the surface. This is a feature

Angela Scanlon’s marvellous marble experience!

Diespeker met Angela when an episode of Your Home Made Perfect featured terrazzo, and she visited our factory with architect Will Foster to see how terrazzo was made. Angela and Will even made their own bespoke terrazzo, a process they seemed to greatly enjoy. Fast forward to 2022 and Angela was looking for a new coffee table.

Phenomenal fluted features are trending!

The clean, polished surface of terrazzo is something that we are very familiar with at Diespeker. Many of our projects require a beautiful, simplistic finish. However, there are other ways to play with terrazzo, from bending it (one of our areas of expertise) to creating a fluted design. Diespeker has been creating fluted terrazzo surfaces for some years and we have worked on some superb projects. Recently there’s been a

Terrazzo splashback for Victorian townhouse

Bury St Edmunds kitchen designers K2B turned to Diespeker for terrazzo for a recent redesign that called for something contemporary. The project was for a client in Ipswich, Suffolk, who wanted the kitchen in their Victorian town house completely revamped. The brief was for something contemporary that would still sit well with the design of the house. Initially the idea was for a smart Shaker style kitchen, but as the

Made in London features our factory

Diespeker is delighted to feature in a new book ‘Made in London: From Workshops to Factories’ which is out on October 6th. This stunning image-led hardback looks at the amazing variety of manufacturing that still goes on in the capital. It’s a counterpoint to the world of digital that seems to have taken over the city; showing that there are still plenty of hands-on businesses out there that make ‘real’

Opening up for Open House

Although Diespeker frequently welcomes people to our South London premises to view products and discuss their projects, we haven’t been in the habit of offering tours – until now. It all came about when Diespeker was contacted by Mark at Kaymet, another business local to the Old Kent Road area, regarding the launch of a book we’ve been involved with (Made in London, more on that soon). Mark also mentioned
