Italy — inspired by Carrera marble quarries.

Carrera

The matte finish luminous depth of Italian marble on a wall.

The Finish

A premium polished plaster engineered to mirror the veined translucence of fine Carrera marble, hand-troweled to a glass-like sheen.

Carrera plaster is built up in multiple thin coats, then burnished with steel trowels to reveal soft veining and a deep, reflective surface.

It captures light the way real marble does — interiors lit by candle, sconce, or sun feel layered and three-dimensional.

A signature choice for clients who want the presence of stone without the weight, seams, or cost of slabs.
