Materia Viva is the story of an encounter.
An ancient connection that generates innovative surfaces to design welcoming spaces.
A seamless dialogue with Nature in its pure elements.
Lime takes on a new expression with fragments of the Landscape's raw materials: terracotta, cork, pumice, shell.
The direct contact with Nature crystallises into a new form.
Materia Viva is a tool both subtle and strong, a beauty to cherish and enhance.
The heritage of Mediterranean architecture, a material that is renewed, handed down, that brings to light always new hues of its incredible colours.

Shell fragments shimmer on surfaces, in a continuous dance with light and its reflections.

Italian architecture has made extensive use of Cocciopesto, as mortar, plaster, or finishing layer.
MateriaViva Cocciopesto consists of crushed bricks and tiles with selected grain sizes mixed with the Materia Viva base, a mineral powder coating for interiors made of hydraulic lime, air lime, and selected aggregates.
MateriaViva Cocciopesto is a modern interpretation of the classic cocciopesto plaster, present in historic buildings and the architecture of various Italian cities.
MateriaViva Conchiglia is a mixture of crushed and selected shells in various grain sizes mixed with the Materia Viva base, a mineral powder coating for interiors made of hydraulic lime, air lime, and selected aggregates.
MateriaViva Conchiglia Decopowder consists of small fragments of shells/pearls, embedded in the smooth and planar surface of a mineral plaster.
Materia Viva Conchiglia is characterized by a textured surface, with bright and mother-of-pearl inserts.
The volcanic origin of Materia Viva Pomice, combined with its "pozzolanic" properties (reacts with lime to create a hydraulic binder), evokes the mortars and finishes of our architectural heritage.
Materia Viva Pomice is made of alveolar magmatic minerals, selected in various grain sizes mixed with the Materia Viva base, a mineral powder coating for interiors made of hydraulic lime, air lime, and selected aggregates.
Materia Viva Pumice is a mineral surface enriched and decorated with colored fragments of polished stone.
Materia Viva Sughero is a granulate of natural expanded and toasted cork mixed with the Materia Viva base, a mineral powder coating for interiors made of hydraulic lime, air lime, and selected aggregates.
The surface decorated with Materia Viva mixed with Materia Viva Sughero has a compact appearance, soft to the touch, reminiscent of natural fiber fabrics.
