No Ordinary Green–an avant-garde celebration of colour and its profound impact on design.

Green is the colour of the chlorophyll in leaves, of precious stones like emerald and jade and cool alpine waters. It is a colour associated with wealth, nature, life and health, a colour that’s been missing in the Fibonacci range until now.

Rising out of nature to form the foundation of a new design culture, the No Ordinary Green collection takes cues from the mineral and botanical world to introduce an air of alpine cool into the design context. Emerging from an intent to develop a green, unlike anything else available in the architectural materials market, it is a collection that took an intrepid discovery process, outside normal supply channels, to define itself. The resulting stones — Slipstream and Peppermint Crisp — are imbued with the striking mineral qualities of their Austrian geology, holding the frigid crystalline beauty of the landscape from which they were quarried and layering that exquisitely jewelled ruggedness into every space they appear.

Slipstream is a texturally rugged stone that finds an affinity with brutalist and mid-century design movements alike. A tonal story of concrete and slate, it holds within it the mineral essence of botanicals. This changeable, textured stone carries tiny flints of green and grey alongside meteoric rocks shot through with white and umber to seamlessly reconcile nature and industry.

Clasped in a plaster-hued base, Peppermint Crisp is defined by a diverse composition of robust natural stone pieces. Instilled with subtle fluidity, the almost-black greens shot through with pale verdigris and solid nuggets of wet moss and slate dissected by lacerations of light leave the material feeling not quite stagnant but immersed in a gently yielding foundation.

Each of these products is visually captivating and singular, bringing an atmosphere to the built environment unlike any other material. “I love the alpine coldness of the raw material we use in these two colours,” says Fibonacci Founder Michael Karakolis. “We have been missing a green in our range, and these, drawn from a third-generation family-owned quarry, lend themselves to diverse stylistic contexts."

“When you look at both stones, you can see how the background changes alters the colour of the natural stone,” he continues. “This is one of the things I love about our products: the way their colour story influences how we see everything else that surrounds them.”
