STONES
Stones are a very important element in the Armani aesthetic
philosophy, since they are they are the ultimate expression
of Nature’s beauty and eternality. Armani/Casa uses the
most astonishing stones in the world for its collections,
selecting every slab individually to find the best possible
hue and design. Examples of this research are Emerald
Quartzite from Brazil, Grey Marble from Colombia, Selenite
from Morocco and Sodalite from Bolivia.

METALS
Always aiming to create the best chromatic harmony,
Armani/Casa ofers several colors of metals to perfectly
match all other finishes in collection. Golden tones, in
particular, are typical within the Armani/Casa palette.
Each metal is characterized by a diferent treatment of the
surface (satin or glossy) and shows a modern or a vintage
look. Satin Light Brass is entirely hand polished to obtain its
typical appearance.
ONYX-TEXTURED METAL
SPECIAL METALS
The use of metal - and other exclusive finishes imitating
this material - is a signature element of Armani/Casa.
Onyx-Textured Metal combines metal with another element
typical of our brand, onyx, Giorgio Armani’s favorite stone
because of its tone-on-tone striped design. An advanced
ink printing technology is used to replicate the onyx pattern:
in this way, the design “penetrates” the metallic surface so
that it can become more vivid and resistant.

CARVED PAULOWNIA
BLACK-OCRE CARVING
SPECIAL WOODS
Black-Ocre Carving is marked by a beautiful three-dimensional
appearance. The design is obtained by an irregular carving at
multiple levels, in order to create diferent thicknesses of the
wood. This efect is emphazised by the use of two contrasting
tones: the whole black surface is carved and the resulting lines
in relief are then lacquered in ocre.
Paulownia (Paulownia tomentosa) is a particular specimen
commonly known as royal paulownia or empress / princess
tree, due to its majestic appearance and its fragrant flowers.
Paulownia wood is particularly appreciated for being flexibile
and elastic, which - together with an even structure and a high
resistance to humidity - makes this lumber extremely suitable
for furniture and high-precision works. Thermo-treated
Paulownia owes its name to the heating process applied on
the raw veneer, which enhances the beautiful contrast of
the streaks. Carved Paulownia, instead, is characterised by a
three-dimensional surface recalling the iconic canneté texture
typical of the Armani aesthetics, emphasized by its natural
warm color. Area of origin: Italy.
Grey Arboreo suggests a deep link to the world of Nature: the
Italian ‘arboreo’, in fact, indicates something related to trees.
Thanks to an advanced high-pressure technique, the color is
injected directly into the wood mass, so that it can permeate
all fibers even inside. The surface is then covered with a shellac
finishing. This environment-friendly material can vary a lot
depending on the essence undergoing this special coloring
process. Area of origin: Italy.
