The Studio
A material
without compromise.
Apelux was founded on a single material question: what if a kitchen could outlive the house around it? The answer became a body of work in full-thickness porcelain stoneware — sintered at 1,260°C, dense as granite, and indifferent to water, citrus, oil and time.
Twelve years on, we design and manufacture porcelain stoneware, engineered stone and porcelain panels from a single workshop in Dandenong South, Melbourne. Each commission is drawn with our architects, machined on five-axis CNC, and installed by our own craftsmen — never subcontracted.
The result is a quieter kind of luxury. Less of the new every season. More of what stays.

Six categories. One material.
— Project No. 318
A house in Bellevue Hill, drawn around a single porcelain wall.
Architect Tobias Partners specified a 12-metre kitchen of bookmatched Calacatta Oro porcelain — installed in eight slabs over four days, joined with shadow gaps so fine the wall reads as a single stone.

— The Material
Stoneware, sintered at 1,260 degrees.
Our stone begins as a slurry of Italian feldspar, Australian kaolin and quartz — pressed into 12mm slabs and fired at 1,260°C until the body vitrifies into a single mineral mass.
The result is technically a stone, but engineered. Non-porous. UV-stable. Resistant to bleach, red wine, fire and a dropped saucepan. We give it a 25-year structural warranty because we have never had to honour one.
