In a studio tucked away in Johannesburg, innovation, artistry, and sustainability converge. Wolkberg Casting Studios, the creators of Limesite™, are redefining surface design in South Africa with handcrafted finishes that blur the line between functionality and storytelling.
The Birth of Limesite™
Founded with a vision to push the boundaries of material design, Wolkberg pioneered Limesite™, a high-performance cement-based composite that combines strength, versatility, and aesthetic appeal.
The material has become the cornerstone of the brand’s creations — from sleek kitchen counters to sculptural wall tiles — offering surfaces that are both durable and visually distinctive.
What makes each piece remarkable is the handcrafted process: every surface is poured, detailed, and finished by hand, ensuring uniqueness while embodying contemporary design thinking.
Artistry in Every Finish
Wolkberg’s surface range includes striking finishes tailored for diverse design visions:
- Silk Finish – A soft, luxurious sheen for timeless elegance.
- Dimension Finish – Subtle texture and depth for a striking, tactile effect.
These finishes enhance Limesite™’s character, turning surfaces into bespoke design statements. Their work spans commercial lobbies, boutique hotel bathrooms, and personalised kitchen counters — all unified by innovation, quality, and long-lasting visual appeal.
Design with Purpose
For Wolkberg, surfaces should do more than perform — they should inspire and connect. Sustainability anchors this ethos. The studio reduces waste, sources responsibly, and commits to durability, earning them a 4-Star Eco Label Rating.
This recognition adds measurable value to green building initiatives, making Wolkberg a trusted partner for eco-conscious architects and designers.
Looking Ahead
Wolkberg continues to experiment with new forms, colours, and applications of Limesite™, with expansion plans that include collaborations with local and international design talent.
These initiatives ensure the studio remains a leader in bespoke surface innovation, while staying rooted in craftsmanship and sustainability.
