Which stone did Estonia send to Berlin?

Its own.

In November 2025, Estonia opened a business hub at its embassy in Berlin, a place for Estonian companies to build contacts and do the slow work of getting into the German market. Foreign Minister Margus Tsahkna opened it, joined by Germany’s Federal Minister for Economic Affairs and Energy Katherina Reiche and Minister of State for Europe Gunther Krichbaum.

The wall’s name is fixed to Reval limestone, from our own quarry at Väo in Tallinn. Estonia’s national stone since 1992, and the stone that built Tallinn’s fortifications in the 1200s.

It does more than one job in the house. Wall panels in the foyer, the seating along the windows, the plinths that hold the flags and the guest book. One material, three different pieces of work.

The embassy has been at the same address on Hildebrandstraße since the 1920s, when Estonia’s consul bought the villa. The house was renovated in 2025, and the brief was to build it out of Estonian materials rather than import a look. The whole interior sits on a grey tone — interior architect Kätlin Ölluk calls it helgehall, bright grey, and describes it as the delicate beauty of Estonian nature: a dusty verge in high summer, a landscape under late-autumn frost, morning fog thick enough to smother sound.

Which one would you rest your hand on?

Window sills in four Estonian stones: Reval limestone, Kaarma, Orgita, and Selgase dolomite.
Every sill is cut to the opening, not to a stock size. 2 or 3 cm thick, up to 63 cm deep, up to 250 cm long; over 250 cm is made in two parts, usually equal. The top, the front, and 10 cm of each end are finished. Produced to EN 12058:2015.

Why can’t you see the pores in this sill? Because on window sills, we fill them.

Kaarma dolomite is characterized by its pores. In floor tiles and skirtings, we leave them open. The pores are the stone. On sills, they are filled, because a sill is a surface you put things down on. If you want it the other way round, ask us; we do both.

A house in Finland. 1157 × 180 × 20 mm, cut to the drawing. Corners can be straight, beveled, or radiused — this one was radiused, because that is what the drawing said. Light grey, fine and even underhand. 44 kg/m² at 20 mm, the lightest of our four stones. On Saaremaa, they call it marble.

Why are no two of these the same colour?

The seabed changed. The stone kept the record.

Orgita dolomite formed more than 400 million years ago on the floor of a shallow sea. Conditions shifted across that time, and the stone took the colour of whatever was settling — which is why one sill runs yellowish-beige and the next leans bluish-grey. The variation goes right through the thickness.

Which is also why we send it out as it comes. Sorting it would mean throwing away most of what the sea made. Order two sills, and they will be cousins, not twins.

They come from one quarry, about 60 km south-west of Tallinn, from the ground around the former Orgita — once Rosenthal — manor, and have been in use since at least the 1300s.

Sills 2 or 3 cm thick, up to 63 cm deep, up to 250 cm long, cut to your opening rather than to a stock size. Over 250 cm is made in two parts, usually equal. Produced to EN 12058:2015.

What is the oldest thing in this house?

The window sill.

Villa Vy, Sweden. The house was finished last year. The stone formed in the Ordovician and may be up to 500 million years old—making the newest surface in the room the oldest object in it.

Reval antique, 915 × 168 × 20 mm, cut for one opening, from our quarry at Väo in Tallinn. The top, the front, and 10 cm of each end are finished; the rest stays as sawn, because it goes into the wall.

Limestone has been Estonia’s national stone since 1992. Cool under your hand, and it stays that way.

Naturalistic planting has been the direction in garden design for several years: looser borders, meadow grasses, edges deliberately blurred. Hardscape has moved much more slowly, and most gardens still put all that softness up against a rectangular grid; the join is where the design gives itself away.

Free-form slabs are the version of that shift you walk on. No two outlines alike, so the surface curves where the planting curves. One fixed thickness of 40 mm, so it still sits on a single plane. Loose above, disciplined underneath. Kaarma, Orgita and Selgase dolomite, wire-sawn at our factory on Saaremaa.

September is the month for it. Production takes about three weeks from the advance payment, which puts an order placed now on site in October; revalstone.com/en/product/irregular-stone-slabs

A loose garden still needs a level surface. That is the objection to irregular paving, and it is answered by how the slabs are cut.

Free-form slabs vary in outline only. The thickness is fixed at 40 mm, so however different the pieces are, the finished surface still sits on a single plane.

Loose on top. Disciplined underneath. Kaarma, Orgita, and Selgase dolomite, wire-sawn at our factory on Saaremaa. Slabs mostly 0.5–1 m².

Gardens stopped being straight some years ago. Borders loosened, lawn gave way to grasses, and the edge between planted and wild was blurred on purpose.

The paving didn’t follow, as most gardens still meet all that softness with a rectangular grid, and the join is the part that looks wrong without anyone quite naming why.

Free-form slabs share one thickness and no shape, so the surface curves where the planting curves. Kaarma, Orgita, and Selgase dolomite, wire-sawn at our factory on Saaremaa. From 40 mm, slabs are mostly 0.5–1 m².

A day at our Kaarma quarry and plant with leading architects from Estonia and Latvia. They came to meet the stone because a picture cannot show them what a quarry can.

A sample is 20 × 20 cm. The stone comes out in layers a metre thick. You have to stand in front of it to grasp what it can become.

Thank you for making the trip.

Reval limestone, brushed. The brushing opens the stone’s natural pattern and leaves a surface that’s leathery to the touch,matte, softly worn, never glossy. Grey, unsorted in tone.
