Decorative Systems for Architecture
Custom-made works of art
Custom-made Works of Art
Liquid metal, limestone, decorative plaster, resin, and natural and traditional materials are the raw materials used to create bespoke finishes for architectural installations, tables and furniture.
Tactile and Visual Emotions
The artworks, patterns and surfaces can be applied to a variety of substrates, thanks to the numerous colour combinations and the wide range of shapes and compositions.
Exceptional Hands and Hearths
The hands of skilled artisans bring the heart of the project to life through a personal narrative that reveals the most authentic soul of the space and those who inhabit it.

Help our clients tell their stories, bringing to life works designed to stand the test of time.
The Infinite Expressive Potential
of materials
Liquid Mental Decoration
A new way of interpreting metallic materials, offering modern, technologically advanced solutions for design and architecture and exploring new applications for materials with both functional and aesthetic value.
Once applied to a surface, it creates a sophisticated effect comparable to solid metal. It can then be hand-finished in a variety of shades and tones, giving each piece the unique character of handcrafted work.
Burnished, oxidised, brushed: experimentation spans a wide range of finishes, highlighting the exceptional versatility of liquid metal.
Fil Posé Textured Decorative Plaster: A Fabric Effect for Walls
Fil Posé is a decorative finish that gives surfaces a distinctive fabric effect: an innovative technique that recreates the look of textile wallcoverings, from the most classic to the most contemporary styles. Fil Posé is created by applying a white decorative coating, which can then be enhanced with a wide range of decorative finishing paints. The effect, achieved using a special multi-line applicator, can be created with either a horizontal or vertical weave.
The result is a decorative finish with striking visual appeal, whose textured quality makes it suitable even for surfaces that are not perfectly smooth. It offers excellent abrasion resistance, is washable and, above all, can be customised in terms of shapes and colours. The elegant textile texture created by Fil Posé can be enhanced with a wide range of iridescent decorative paints, adding refined pearlescent effects. Its texture thus becomes a luminous weave that reflects light and colour.
The final result is particularly well suited to contemporary architectural spaces, including luxury restaurants, trendsetting bars, sophisticated interiors and design hotels.
Silver Leaf
An ornamental decorative technique used to enhance objects and surfaces of any shape or material by applying an exceptionally thin layer of metal leaf. Silver leaf can be used to gild a surface, faithfully recreating both the lustrous appearance of precious metals and the distinctive beauty of an aged patina.
Alongside Silver Leaf, Gold, Bronze, Copper and Platinum effects are also available and can be further embellished to create a wide range of customised shades, highlights and reflections. Silver Leaf can be applied to walls, canvas, wooden panels and other materials, as well as furniture and decorative accessories, using both traditional and more unconventional techniques. It can cover an entire surface, highlight individual details or be used to create distinctive decorative patterns. An essential final step is the application of a protective coating, which makes the finished surface durable and washable.
The application of silver leaf is an elegant and sophisticated way to embellish both decorative objects and interior walls, lending them exceptional brilliance and luminosity.
Bas-Reliefs and High Reliefs
A bas-relief is a form of relief decoration for walls that has become increasingly popular in interior design and can be incorporated into a variety of styles, including Gothic, Baroque and Art Nouveau.
Bas-relief is also often referred to as moulding or decorative plasterwork. Its complexity varies depending on the materials used: stone bas-relief is the most labour-intensive, requiring the highest level of sculptural skill and craftsmanship. High relief, on the other hand, is distinguished by the way it projects significantly from the background surface, creating a pronounced sense of depth and volume within the composition.
Invaluable works of art that embody a wealth of meanings deeply significant to those who commission them, bringing together traditional artistic languages and contemporary creativity.
Surfaces become a means of expression conveying the emotions inherent in the material through both tactile and visual sensations.
Textures that forge a connection between material and human touch, creating unique works, that honour both past and future and become a true legacy.
