Decorative Effects
Design and architecture are living concepts that continue to evolve over time. At Ethos Terra, we work with Novacolor materials that reflect this same philosophy—an ever-expanding range of finishes and systems that can be combined to create highly customized surfaces.
Using mineral-based lime plasters and metallic coatings, along with a variety of specialized tools and application techniques, these materials can transform into nearly any finish imaginable.
Combed and woven techniques can create textures that resemble fabrics such as suede, silk, linen, or taffeta, while burnishing and directional applications can achieve a high-gloss, marble-like shine.
From post-war Brutalist inspiration to modern biophilic environments, Ethos Terra offers the materials and craftsmanship to bring distinctive decorative effects to life.
