RILIEVI
Relief quartz sand and nonwoven wallpaper
RILIEVI is a relief quartz sand and nonwoven wallpaper. A rhythmic composition that reveals itself through light, a eulogy to the signs of time impressed in the material. Characterised by a sequence of irregular grooves, the RILIEVI pattern is a surface traversed by vertical stripes that alternate in a harmonious sequence. A tactile architecture that recalls the effect left by the passage of a comb over a layer of lime still fresh, and subsequently worn away by time. This delicate verticality slims the spaces and gives the interior a casual, seamless elegance.
Composition: Quartz sand 70%, Nonwoven fabric 20%, Water-based components 10%
Reaction to fire: B-s1, d0 (UNI EN 13501-1)
With Tramae Collection, Glamora explores new material dimensions, blending aesthetics, innovation, and functionality. The collection’s wallcoverings, crafted from GlamOrigin, a pure and tactile material, stand out for their three-dimensional, sandy texture, which lends surfaces remarkable expressive depth. The collection draws inspiration from the works of Italian artist Costantino Nivola (1911–1988), particularly his pioneering Sand Casting technique. This process involved pouring plaster or concrete onto a sand surface that had been previously sculpted in negative, resulting in reliefs with a pleasantly irregular texture. Sand Casting made Nivola’s work unique and cemented his reputation as a "sculptor for architecture", leading to collaborations with the great masters of Modernism on iconic architectural projects, including the Olivetti showroom in New York. His sculptural approach is now reinterpreted by Glamora in a contemporary way, giving rise to a wallcovering that evokes the aesthetic of handcrafted surface treatments. Such a refined and versatile innovation in the world of surfaces is designed to adapt to projects of all scales, from residential interiors to public spaces in search of a sophisticated yet understated design. The result is a timeless decorative solution, bringing dynamism and character to interiors while offering designers new creative possibilities.
GlamOrigin is a matt textured, three-dimensional wallcovering featuring engravings and reliefs that evoke the elegance of sculpted plaster or artisan-moulded concrete. Its composition, created through the layering of quartz powder on a non-woven fabric backing, enhances the depth of the surface with a refined interplay of light and shadow. Distinctive features, such as the surface’s organic irregularities and subtle tonal variations, stem from the use of natural raw materials. These intrinsic elements highlight its uniqueness and elevate its aesthetic value, bestowing it with an authentic and expressive character.
