The Finest Materials in Luxury Design: A Guide to Exotic Woods and Rare Marbles

Introduction

At Litolite, we craft luxury accessories for Cuban and Extra-Cuban cigar collectors who value more than function — they value timeless beauty. From handcrafted humidors to marble ashtrays and lighters, each piece is designed to elevate a personal ritual into an aesthetic experience.

True luxury lives in the details, and materials matter. The right wood grain, the right stone texture — these are not simply design choices; they are declarations of identity, taste, and lifestyle.

In this guide, we explore the noble materials we use to bring your cigar accessories to life — with a focus on exotic woods and rare marbles that define true sophistication.


Ziricote, White Ebony, and Bocote: The Artistry of Exotic Woods

Every collector knows: the right accessory speaks as much as the cigar itself. That’s why we select only the finest exotic woods, each one chosen for its natural elegance and visual storytelling.

  • Ziricote — A dramatic wood from Central America, with rich, dark lines resembling brushstrokes. No two pieces are alike — a perfect match for bespoke interiors.

  • White Ebony — Rare and striking, with bold black and cream contrasts. A wood that captures light and attention in the most refined way.

  • Bocote — Known for its golden warmth and intricate swirls, Bocote brings a touch of vibrancy and sensuality to even the smallest details.

At Litolite, these woods are hand-finished by Italian artisans and used to create humidors, trays, and table accessories that feel like heirlooms from the first touch.


Calacatta Oro: A Marble Worth Waiting For

Some materials carry history in their veins. Calacatta Oro — one of the rarest and most prestigious marbles in the world — is one of them. Mined in the heart of Tuscany, this creamy stone with golden veining has adorned sculptures, cathedrals, and now… your personal collection.

  • Naturally luxurious: Its golden tones reflect ambient light like no synthetic ever could.

  • Handcrafted future icons: Our Calacatta ashtrays and lighters are already collector favorites — and soon, our first Calacatta Oro humidor will join the collection.

Refined, powerful, and unmistakably Italian — this marble isn’t a material. It’s a statement.


Natural Materials, Timeless Design

Whether you’re curating a private lounge, a study, or simply choosing accessories that match your refined aesthetic, natural materials like exotic wood and marble transform everyday moments into elegant rituals.

Each Litolite piece is an invitation: to slow down, to indulge, to live beautifully.
