Produced in partnership with
Argentium
is the most accurate representation of stucco plaster from the collection with its soft trowel ‘markings’. Due to its strength and durability, large-format slabs can be placed on the floor with minimal joins, creating a sense of visual continuity and a cohesive material palette. When paired with walnut timber joinery, exposed ceiling beams and copper accessories, finds its place in a Belgian farmhouse-inspired kitchen.
Nacre
, also known as the mother of pearl, refers to the iridescent lining of a mollusc shell. As its name suggests, is an elegant sandy-coloured material threaded with contrasting beige and white tones that capture and reflect the sunlight throughout the day. Seen with pearl grey joinery and timber furniture and offset by gunmetal lighting and tapware, is a versatile colour that complements both warm and cool hues.
Micron
As the darkest colour in the collection, the moody, silvery-grey works best with clean lines and monochromatic tones. Pale grey ceramics and tableware accentuate lighter markings, while glossy black appliances and matte-black tapware establish a striking palette. Accents of oak inject subtle warmth while maintaining a Brutalist-inspired aesthetic.
Umber
Aptly named after the natural earth pigment, is a playful orange-red surface. The nature-inspired hue is faintly reminiscent of the terracotta lime mortar used widely in the south of Portugal. When coupled with cool mid-grey, becomes the focal point in a kitchen. Handmade ceramics, indoor plants and curved furniture enhance the colour’s organic appeal.
Albarium
takes its name from the eponymous lime stucco historically made from marble dust in Roman times. Described as a ‘peaceful, powdery white colour’ features a slight trowelled texture and consistent colouring. The timeless surface is suited to a clean and contemporary interior palette, working in tandem with dark timber accents. At the same time, charcoal cabinetry and black fixtures cut through the dusky shade for contrast.
