Ideal Work: Terrae Calce – Matera, Siena, Venezia

Finishes Matera
Its irregular but elegant texture recalls the traditional buildings of southern Italy, where simplicity, craftsmanship and passion blend.

Finishes Siena
The aggregates — rice husk and hemp hurds — are the core elements of this finish. The rough, unstructured appearance of the surface conveys a typically rural, extremely natural look.

Finishes Venezia
The soft, elegant touch of this seamless, irregular finish is reminiscent of the Venetian lagoon. Its texture is as delicate to the touch as it is to the sight.
