Texture and Natural Materials Are the Key! -Sustainable Design-
As introduced in the previous column, “Rich Colours and Designs Are the Key! -Sustainable Design-”, in contemporary society, there has been a growing demand for products that are not only “economical”, but also “creative” and “unique”. On the other hand, due to inventory space issues, there has been a desire for paints that can provide a variety of finishes with a single material.
At the same time, with the spread of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), there is a social need for environmentally friendly initiatives.
In this trend, we have developed and launched “SAND ELEGANTE”, a new sustainable soil wall-like ceramic based decorative coating, which combines the texture of natural soil, sand, stone, mica and sea shells. In recent years, the delicate texture created by natural materials has gained acclaim, leading to an increase in the use in hotels and public facilities.
SAND ELEGANTE, which uses natural materials by adding a twist, contributes to building a sustainable future.
SAND ELEGANTE / Soil wall-like ceramic based decorative coating
SAND ELEGANTE is a new type of luxurious decorative coatings. Combining the texture of natural soil, sand, stone, mica and sea shells, it provides totally new designs with touch of natural beauty. As introduced in the previous column, SAND ELEGANTE is an aggregate-coloured type.
Mixing the warm texture of earth, the fine texture of sand, and the rough texture of stone, it creates a new type of design that conventional products have never made.
With high weather resistance and durability, it produces a massive space over a long period of time.
Containing Natural Ingredients
The delicate texture created by natural materials is one of the charms of SAND ELEGANTE. By utilizing natural materials in a creative way, we aim to reduce environmental impact and promote sustainability.
Formulated Materials
Mica
Finely ground mica stone. Depending on the angle of the light, it produces a sparkling shine and enhances a sense of luxury.
Sea Shells
Shell is a durable material made of 99% calcium carbonate and it is environmentally friendly material by recycling.
Ceramic-based Coloured Aggregate
We have succeeded in achieving a more natural texture by baking and colouring each individual grain of sand (aggregate) and then mixing them together. This method ensures long-lasting colour retention, colour stability and high durability.
