Calacatta Viola on Trend in 2025
Looking at the design trends for 2025, trendsetters are moving away from minimalist design and embracing layers of bold color, pattern and texture for their home projects.
In the kitchen and bath, designers are embracing color and boldly veined stones for making design statements while channeling the healing properties of nature. Expect to see color palettes of browns, reds, deep green and eggplants.
For the first quarter of 2025, purple seems to be playing out as the color of the moment.
Luxury Purple Vein Marble
Calacatta marble, with its striking beauty and luxurious appeal, has long been the epitome of elegance in interior design. For 2025, the dramatic veining and rich tones of Calacatta Viola and Calacatta Violetta make them the top choice for premium homes. Unfortunately, the exclusivity of this stone and required maintenance may disqualify it for your project. Fortunately, there are some options for your project from porcelain and quartz manufacturers.
In color theory, purple symbolizes luxury, wisdom, and tranquility. Its varied shades can either calm or energize, making it versatile for different spaces and functions within the home.
Infinity
The Calacatta Viola from the Infinity collections is amongst my all-time favorite porcelain materials with its strikingly beautiful design and strength to be used indoors and out. Infinity uses NaturaVein Tech to bring us some of the most unique vein options for the kitchen and bath.

The 12mm slabs are available either polished or in Levigato pearl finish. By offering book-matched porcelain slabs, Infinity panels can be the focal point of your home allowing designers to create environments that harmonize with modern needs while celebrating timeless beauty.
Compaq
Compac Ice Viola is a striking quartz surface from Compac’s award-winning Genesis Collection designed by renowned artist Arik Levy. Compac describes the Genesis collection as a fusion of art and design to bring forward a collection inspired by patterns found in ice. Levy expanded the collection with four designs that reflect how seasons change over the year. ICE Green represents nature coming alive in spring, ICE Gold the sunbeams of summer, ICE Viola autumn lights and ICE Ink the dark nights of winter.

Ice Viola features a white background with a beautiful light violet hue around dark purple veins. Use this quartz in a design that leans towards nostalgia and comfort. Ice Viola is available in 2 cm and 3 cm polished slabs.
XStone by Porcelanosa
XStone is a sintered stone product produced with up to 40% recycled material. If you are concerned about sustainability you’ll appreciate that the large-format panels are 100% recyclable and do not emit VOCs.
XTONE’s continuous veining patterns aim to capture the essence of natural marble, providing a luxurious and sophisticated look. Slab ends can be matched vertically or horizontally in 6 cm or 12 cm thicknesses for a continuous vein design. The use of marble slabs from floor to ceiling is the ultimate representation of luxury in a bathroom.

XStone Calacatta Viola has gorgeous deep purple veining. As the design trend for curvilinear islands and walls increases, the unique continuous vein pattern across XStone panels will provide better design opportunities for creating refined design statements.

PHI by Aurea Stone
Phi by Aurea Stone is revolutionary collection of “hyper-realistic” manufactured slabs that capture the look of marble manufactured with crystalline silica-free materials.
In recent years, a resurgence of Silicosis has been reported in engineered countertop workers. This debilitating disease has many manufacturers and policy makers looking for safer manufactured slab alternatives. PHI printed surfaces are the industry’s first engineered slabs to use a hybrid material that is 70% recycled, contains less than 20% crystalline silica, and is virtually stain-proof with minimal maintenance. The use of recycled glass largely eliminates the risk of airborne crystalline particles from being inhaled.

It’s the recycled glass that gives these slabs visual depth and transparency making their Palace pattern a top alternative for Calacatta Viola.
The luxe violet hue of Calacatta viola represents an appreciation for self-discovery and self-expression and brings opportunities for creating stunning and enduring environments. The dramatic veining offers an amazing contrast to neutral cabinetry, and its inherent strength makes it a perfect choice for kitchens and baths.
