Maker series | Expert fabrication meets the versatility of sintered stone

“A great thing with Smartstone’s product is we can use it from the entry level building project for project homes. We’ve also used it on really high-end projects in the Eastern suburbs and northern beaches.”

– Tim Georges, Just Stone

Stone fabrication is a meticulous combination of heavy industrial machinery delicate hand-finishing. Specialising in custom fabrication and bespoke design since 2008, Just Stone Aust (Just Stone) transforms premium marble, granite, and innovative sintered stone into more than just kitchen benchtops. They create statement fireplaces that anchor a living room, feature walls that command attention, and even custom stone furniture designed to last generations.

With a highly skilled team and robust production line, Just Stone ensures every step in the stone fabrication is carefully considered and executed to reflect their expert craftsmanship and high standards.

Federica Leoni, who manages procurement and design at Just Stone, notes that the Just Stone team is a tapestry of global expertise. Coming from different parts of the world “just like natural stone”, each member brings a specialised skill and knowledge – from nesting and machining to polishing and gluing, transforming stone into a masterpiece for homes and commercial spaces.

From fabrication to precision installation, Just Stone combines traditional techniques with modern technology to achieve outstanding results, recognising that a big part of the success in stonework is the quality and versatility of the stone.

“Every day is different. We’re using different materials, different colours, different type of kitchens, different type of projects,” explains Tim Georges, one of the owners of Just Stone.

In the world of modern design, versatility is the ultimate luxury. Whether it’s a high-end residential home, large-scale commercial development, or a bustling hospitality venue, the material must perform as beautifully as it looks. After extensive experience with the Smartstone Sintered Collection, the Just Stone team has embraced it as a premier choice for the modern Australian lifestyle for its versatility in terms of design and affordability.

“With the machines that we’ve got, we’ve been able to cut and process it fairly easy in comparison to other products. We prefer to use Smartstone products over other sintered products,” says Tim.

One of Just Stone’s milestone projects brought the Sintered Collection’s Calacatta Viola to Pino’s Vino e Cucina al Mare, a refined dining destination in Cronulla. In a high-traffic restaurant environment where aesthetics and durability must coexist, the stone delivered.

“It was one of the first projects that we did with Smartstone’s product. It was great to use. The project came out amazing. The client was happy. It was really good,” Tim added.

When the material is top-tier and high-performing, expert craftsmanship can push the boundaries of design, ensuring that custom stone fabrication, modern waterfall edges or intricate sink cutouts do not just look beautiful on day one, but stay flawless for year to come.

“We love working with Smartstone because, first of all, we can actually book match something. We get the left and right slab. The replica is very similar to the original especially the Taj Mahal and the Viola - very well done.”
