In Southeastern Utah—about a half hour from the town of Moab—is a place that is emblematic of the duality of nature’s power. Canyonlands National Park is where the Colorado and Green rivers converge. It’s the result of the sheer power of water over time carving a path through the solid stone. And yet, look at the ornate details that are left when these rushing waters recede: patterns have been pressed into rock, as delicate as lace. And the colors beneath the earth revealed as their own sort of shimmering rainbow. This juxtaposition of powerful gestures and intricate details is also a recipe for stirring home design.

American author and frequent Canyonlands visitor Edward Abbey called the national park, with its unique combination of eyecatching colors and geological features, “the most weird, wonderful, magical place on earth.”

Bomma’s Fragments lighting collection could pass for solid polished stone, though it is composed of breakable glass. Fixtures from Dornbracht Atelier may appear carved from the walls of Canyonlands, but are actually encased in what was once delicate eggshell. A chair from Verellen combines a powerful pattern with a shape that offers a soft embrace. Canyonlands colors also run the gamut: translating into Alkemis paint colors from the earthy Hair of the Dog to the ephemeral Nothing but Flowers. And, of course, the ultimate way to bring such beauty into your home is with stone. Buechel Stone’s Chilton Rustic captures all the canyon colors—including rich reds and yellows, but also cooler notes of charcoal. Meanwhile, Ginger Sands Castle Rock stays more in the neutrals zone—while still offering variations from beige to blush. Natural stone’s innate combination of strength and malleability makes it a material that can be beautifully incorporated with a wide swathe of styles.
