"This real-wood veneer, ultra-thin wallcovering is wonderfully rich and
natural looking without becoming 'tree-huggy.' The Turquoise version
with veins of copper is deliciously luxurious."

"A fantastic laminate product made in Italy by Arpa
Industriale. The product involves nanotechnology
using next-generation acrylic resins. The result
is a surface that is ultra-matte and super soft
to the touch but fingerprint free."

"The resurgence of traditional terrazzo is given
a great twist from this line of slabs and tiles made
from street debris. The gravel that builds up along
the edges of pavement is converted into salvaged
material and adds dimension, energy savings, and
a lower carbon impact for a durable and beautiful
flooring product."

"The small scale of this wall tile provides a rich
texture and dimension that sets it apart from
others, with many stock options that feel custom.
The Custom Create line can really act as artwork
on a feature wall. So many great colors!"

"The Marmi Maximum collection of large-scale
porcelain tile has subtle veining and variation
that convincingly mimic real marble. The large
tile sizes create a grand, clean, and modern look.
Book-matching tile options and waterfall integrated
sinks within the collection add finishing details
to a room."

"We rely on quartz countertops for their beauty and durability
in hospitality projects, and we trust their performance. The raw
concrete quartz in a honed finish has a natural and organic feel
to it, and it complements most finishes."

Meystyle: Golden Resistance Wallpaper

Compac: Ice of Genesis Quartz

Verde Profilo: MOSSwall

"Meystyle's Golden Resistance wallpaper has
integrated LED lighting sprinkled in the direction of
the linen paper's weave. Together with the gold-leaf
finish, it creates a twinkling rain-like effect that's
especially magical when walking down a hallway
lined with it."

"Compac has a wide selection of 'technological quartz.' I am
particularly partial to the Ice of Genesis series, which has a great
degree of transparency and depth that complements its flat and
hard quality. We use it for countertops, shower walls, and benches
to introduce a sense of dynamism and wonder."

"The MOSSwall is preserved natural lichen mounted
on a modular base which makes it easy to install.
Besides its acoustic and antibacterial qualities,
it can help clean the air and smells good doing so!
It brings a touch of the outdoors in, thereby improving both physical and mental wellness."
