At first glance, the landscapes of Connemara could be more convincingly located in Costa Rica than off the west coast of Ireland. Wild, rugged forests jut out into the sea, set against the backdrop of looming mountains. There's a magical, storybook quality to the natural beauty of this region. It makes sense, then, that this is the landscape in which you'll find the equally majestic material, set to become the biggest interior design trend of 2025: Irish Green marble.
So, when Dublin-based designer, Roisin Lafferty, was invited to curate a collection of marbles for Aria Stone, Irish Green seemed a natural choice. "Irish Green has always held a kind of emotional gravity for me. It’s the stone that feels most deeply connected to my own story," she explains. "The moment you see it in person, it is unmistakably Irish; the layered greens, the depth, the quiet power. It reminds me of Connemara, one of my favourite places in the world, where the landscape is wild, poetic, and endlessly shifting."
