Colour, texture and craft.
A distinctive surface.

Decorative plaster is built up in layers. Its depth comes from the material and the hand that applies it.

A matt texture softens light; a polished surface reflects it; relief creates shadows. We explore these qualities through samples and select a system suited to the space and its use.
