Decorative Coating "Metallic Enamel Copper + Travertine Plaster (Catalan System)"

Coating № 302

"Metallic Enamel Copper + Travertine Plaster (Catalan System)" is a bespoke, composite decorative finish that marries two distinct material languages into a single, harmonious surface: the warm, luminous glow of copper metallic enamel and the organic, porous texture of travertine plaster.

At its core lies "Travertine" plaster from the Catalan System—a mineral-based coating that authentically replicates the soft, fossil-rich structure of natural stone, complete with subtle veins, gentle cavities, and earthy depth. Over this, a semi-transparent or selectively applied layer of "Copper Metallic Enamel" is handcrafted using interference pigments, evoking the noble patina of aged copper—shifting from amber and rose-gold highlights to deep russet and olive undertones depending on light and perspective.

The result is a richly layered, dynamic surface where the cool serenity of stone meets the radiant warmth of metal. In one moment, it reads as a timeless architectural relic; in another, as a contemporary art installation infused with light, movement, and material poetry.

This combination excels in interiors that celebrate contrast, craftsmanship, and sensory richness—Art Deco, Neoclassical, Eco-Luxe, Urban Glamour, or modern Loft. It commands attention on feature walls, columns, fireplace surrounds, niches, and reception zones, adding both tactile sophistication and visual drama.

Both components are fully customizable via the NCS color system, enabling endless interpretations—from classic copper-on-ivory travertine to bold pairings like graphite travertine with deep burgundy or anthracite copper accents.

Despite its artistic complexity, the finish is highly durable: suitable for all interior environments, including high-traffic or semi-humid areas, and resistant to damp cleaning without compromising its layered integrity.

Applied with rollers, brushes, trowels, spatulas, and sponges, the multi-stage hand technique ensures seamless integration of materials—allowing precise control over copper transparency, patina intensity, and stone texture to achieve a truly unique, non-repetitive surface.

"Metallic Enamel Copper + Travertine Plaster" is more than a decorative solution—it’s a dialogue between earth and metal, time and light. For those who design spaces not just to be seen, but to be felt.
