The palette and textures are quarried from nature – chalk, ash, limestone, clay, and basalt – enriched with deep oxidised reds and terracotta tones. Expressive patterns inspired by veining and aggregates feel structural rather than decorative, punctuated by striking artificial hues like steel grey, chrome, and inky black.
