SHELLS
Shells are the perfect example of how Armani/Casa can
transform the beauty of Nature into astonishing finishes.
Black Opal Shell features a rich texture given by the
pearlescent surface of shells, assembled together to create
a mosaic playing on a dark shiny base: touches of scarlet
red, metallic green and cobalt blue merge in an infinite
kaleidoscope, recalling the typical efect of a precious
black opal. Green Spotted Shell, on the other hand, plays
on a solid turquoise ground with shades of green and ivory,
where the small irregular spots recall an animalier texture
evoking almost an exotic inspiration. Marine Pen Shell is
made in Indonesia, where skillful artisans treat pen shells
to obtain an alternating black/grey striped design. Finally,
Shell Mosaic features mother-of-pearl tiles.

KYOTO TEXTURE
LINEN
The Armani/Casa collection features several decorative
finishes inspired by the naturalness of linen.
Kyoto Texture is made with real linen fabric in natural color
featuring dark red lacquered inserts.
Lacquered Red Linen features linen fabric coupled with gold
leaf and then painted in red, where a layer of transparent
lacquer adds the final shiny touch leaving the textured
surface visible.
Patinated Linen is obtained by glueing natural linen fabric
on a wooden support: after that, silver leaf is carefully
applied before spraying the patina. This patina causes
silver and linen to blend: the final result is an exclusive finish
that acquires a textured golden tone, evoking the worlds
of textiles and jewelry at the same time. A final layer or
transparent protective resins is sprayed on the surface.
