Jose Jimenez

My name is Michael Cohen and I set up Imperial Stone Group in 2017. I became interested in this industry when I was very young, working at my dad’s stone importing business where I gained a wealth of experience. I’m passionate about stone and I love helping my clients achieve their goals.

I specialise in sourcing stone direct from quarries around the world and this allows me to hand pick all the stone that you see on my website and in my warehouse. This means I can easily react to any market trends and I can also source a stone especially for a client if it’s a stone and/or style that I don’t currently have in stock.

I stock a wide variety of stone types and colours/styles to suit every taste. The stone I currently stock is as follows:

- Marble slabs

- Quartzite slabs

- Granite slabs

- Travertine slabs

- Porcelain slabs

- Porcelain paving slabs

We are marble slab specialists and we specialise in Italian marble in particular. We stock the following brands and their variations:

- Calacatta

- Carrara

- Arabescato

- Statuario

- Macchia Vecchia

- Grigio

- Palissandro

- Bardiglio

- Portoro

The stone I supply can be bookmatched and in some instances can be backlit. When backlit the stone has a stunning finish creating a wow factor that will delight your clients. My stone can be found in various commercial projects in London (e.g. Selfridges and Al Rayan bank in Knightsbridge) and across the country, as well as in some of London’s most exclusive homes.

I enjoy working with interior designers and I am looking forward to partnering with you. If you need any advice on the best finish, latest trends or which stone is the most suitable for your project, please call me on 07538 258122 or send an email (michael@imperialstonegroup.com).
