MCI’s Experience Centre in Bangalore showcases Imported Natural Stones

The Marble Centre International (MCI) Experience Centre (EC) in Bangalore showcases imported natural stones. Designed in collaboration with Singapore-based WOW Architects, the EC provides a unique, real-world experience where visitors can see firsthand how marble and other natural stones can elevate any decor style.


The Experience Centre has a Beige Travertine facade, a continuous design element that flows smoothly into the interior. The design-first approach is evident throughout the space, from the staircase crafted with majestic Diamond Fall granite and Statuario marble to the luxurious Blue Zamai Quartzite reception desk. Central to the EC’s design are the experience zones, each offering a distinct narrative and design inspiration.


These zones showcase the versatility and artistry of natural stones in various interior settings. For example, the bathroom’s dark Grigio Alps Onyx contrasts with a white Statuario Marble bathtub, while a bedroom features a book-matched Azuro Gris marble headboard against a soft beige backdrop. The juxtaposition of colours, such as beige with white or grey, underscores the versatility of marble in interior decor.

The living experience zone, furnished with luxurious Italian furniture and a plush carpet from Hong Kong, features marble accents in the Statuario table, shelves, and partition. The use of marble in unconventional elements, such as Backlit Saffron Onyx door handles and Crystal White Onyx chandeliers, highlights the material's versatility and timeless appeal.


The display area, reminiscent of a modern art gallery, showcases the geological narratives of natural stones, sourced from rugged terrains across the world. The EC’s collection of over 600 varieties of natural stones from more than 42 countries is complemented by  European furniture, unique light fixtures, and rich fabrics, creating a cohesive ambiance of refined elegance.
