What Solidnature does
SolidNature is a Netherlands-based curator and custom fabricator of natural stone, founded in 2011 and headquartered in Aalsmeer. The company maintains an exclusive collection of over 600 stone varieties (marble, onyx, travertine, quartzite, granite, and semi-precious stones) sourced from more than 150 quarries worldwide, and operates a three-tier service model: Ready Made (standard tile and slab sizes for large-scale commercial projects), Made-to-Measure (custom fabrication with digital dry-lay but excluding measurement and installation), and Bespoke (full-service projects from sourcing through on-site installation and maintenance with dedicated project managers). In-house production combines CNC Waterjet and 5-axis 3D carving technology with artisan craftsmanship, supported by digital and physical dry-lay services that allow clients to visualise and approve stone selections before cutting.
The company serves high-end residential, luxury retail, hospitality, and public space segments, with a customer roster that includes Tiffany & Co., Fendi, Prada, Cartier, Knoll, Qatar National Library, Johan Cruijff Arena, and Hotel Park Hyatt Vienna. SolidNature has cultivated a network of strategic collaborations with internationally recognised architects and designers including OMA, Sabine Marcelis, BIG, Humans since 1982, Alex Proba, and BUDDE, producing flagship installations at Milan Design Week (2022 'Monumental Wonders', 2023 'Beyond The Surface', 2026 'Il Sonno'), London Design Festival, Art Basel Miami Beach, and 3 Days of Design Copenhagen. The 2023 'Beyond The Surface' installation won the Fuorisalone Award for Best Installation.
Revenue is generated through one-time project sales (Ready Made, Made-to-Measure, limited-edition objects) and professional services contracts (Bespoke full-service projects). Distribution occurs via an appointment-only showroom at the Aalsmeer HQ, direct B2B project sales managed by dedicated project managers, e-commerce quote requests, and gallery partnerships such as Rossana Orlandi for collectible pieces. The company is privately held (Solidnature BV) under CEO David Mahyari, with 11-50 employees.
