Each designer brings a personal vision in synergy with Materica’s alchemical craftsmanship, drawing inspiration from techniques aligned with their aesthetic sensibilities. The Venetian company’s boiseries emerge from a creative fusion of diverse methods. Metallization, achieved through the high-speed fusion and micronization of pure metals—ranging from brass and bronze to copper, alpaca, aluminum, and zinc—is seamlessly combined with oxidation, laser etching, resin coating, and natural pigmentation. Layers of materials and multiple treatments reveal unexpected visual effects.

The system's modularity offers exceptional versatility, with panels that expand both vertically and horizontally to embrace any spatial configuration. This adaptability stems from varied panel dimensions and a universal cross-bearing structure that ensures seamless integration. The collection's flexibility extends seamlessly to outdoor applications. The highly durable metallized finishes can be paired with specially engineered exterior-grade substrates upon request, allowing custom-designed panels to enhance outdoor terraces, patios, and open spaces.
