Material alchemies

ature is the starting point for the creations of Alchimie, the new HDsurface collection based on the combination of metallic mineral or volcanic stone powders and water-base binders

Touching the surfaces of the Alchimie HDsurface facings, one has the sensation of caressing the warmth of stone or glowing finishes of iron, bronze or other metals. Two collections have been designed for vertical surfaces with textures that embody the three-dimensional character of the material. Metalli is the collection that starts with micronized metal powders, taken to a semi-solid state through the use of a specific binder gel, to faithfully reproduce finishes of Cor-ten, iron, oxidized copper, mill scale and bronze oxide.

HDsurface, Alchimie, Pietre, BurntBrown

Pietre is based on ancient construction techniques, with volcanic stone in powdered form and a gel binder to produce a natural look in the colors volcano black, burnt brown, basalt gray, lapillus bone and sulfur green.
