ABOUT US
Ethos Terra was founded on a deep respect and knowledge of visual arts within decorative architectural surfaces—where walls are not static structures, but elements of storytelling and emotion.
Rooted in Italian heritage and craftsmanship, we specialize in Venetian plaster, authentic lime plasters, and luxury wall finishes that elevate interiors through timeless materials and refined technique.
WHY WE EXIST
Ethos Terra became the vehicle through which Italy’s most beautiful and reliable surface materials could be responsibly introduced to high-end American clients—without compromise.
Not trend-driven. Not mass-market. Built to last.
