Colors / A material study
Color lives
in the surface.
A mineral finish, brushed by hand.
A different depth in every light.
01 / The material
Before the
first stroke.
Limewash is a mineral finish made from lime, water, and pigment. We use it for the way it settles into a carved surface: softly uneven, responsive to light.
Its quiet variation gives each plane a depth of its own.
Mixed by hand.Read by the light.
02 / The hand
Layer by layer.
Thin coats follow the carved form, gathering in its recesses and softening across its edges. A slight variation remains. That is part of the work.
03 / The palette
A tone for your space.
