Relief
Infinito
Lace impressed into the material, in low relief and tone on tone. It disappears from afar, then reappears up close.

Cromatica
Colour as material
Colour gives life.Material gives it weight.
Cromatica treats colour not as ornament, but as something vital. Before colour charts, it was ground earth, oxide, ash: it had weight in the hand and a place of origin.
Colour is not what we see first. It is what remains when we stop looking.

SystemFive pairings with Brera
Five worlds
One material.
Cotto brings the warmth that remains. Cipria, diffused light. Ambra, midday. Salvia, the green that stays still. Petrolio, depth. Five worlds share one material.
Cromatica
Cotto
The warmth that remains after the sun has passed.
Cotto in space
An hour of the day.
On a broad wall, Cotto becomes an hour of the day. Raking light opens it into shifting reds and warms the room without setting it aglow.

Decors
Infinito.
The relief appears first as a variation in light, then as a pattern.
Materials
Seven materials around one earth.
Travertine, dark wood, ceramic, steel and fluted glass hold warmth and coolness together.
- Travertine
- Dark wood
- Ceramic
- Steel
- Fluted glass
- Dry branch
- Tone-matched fabric
Noema System
Cotto + Brera Avorio
In the Noema System, Cotto is paired with Brera Avorio.
Cromatica
Cipria
The light of dawn, held still on a wall.
Cipria in space
Diffused light.
Cipria returns a barely warm glow that heightens the sense of space without making it feel cold.
- Sizes
- 120×120 · 60×120 cm
- Thickness
- 8,5 mm
- Finish
- Natural R10B
Decors
Segno and Lumen.
Segno’s relief and the light of Lumen’s third firing bring movement to Cipria.
Relief
Segno
Open flowers in relief move across the slab without disturbing its calm.
60×120 cm · A02X
Relief
Lumen
Lumen crosses Cipria with a vertical sequence of third-fired marks. The gold catches the light and introduces a measured rhythm across the surface.
60×120 cm · A03E · Third firing
Materials
Its position comes from context.
Travertine warms Cipria, steel cools it and fluted glass multiplies its light.

Noema System
Cipria + Brera Terra
In the Noema System, Cipria is paired with Brera Terra.
Cromatica
Ambra
The colour that hands know.
Ambra in space
Midday held within.
Ambra has absorbed light for hours: almost golden when it receives it, earthy when it loses it.
- Sizes
- 120×120 · 60×120 cm
- Thickness
- 8,5 mm
- Finish
- Natural R10B
Decors
Ricamo.
A weave the eye reads as workmanship, not as print.
Relief
Ricamo
A tone-on-tone geometric weave in low relief, born from the texture of wicker.
60×120 cm · A02V
Materials
Warmth, defined by contrast.
Dark wood defines Ambra, travertine extends it and steel brings back contrast.

Noema System
Ambra + Brera Sabbia
In the Noema System, Ambra is paired with Brera Sabbia.
Cromatica
Salvia
The green that rests in shadow and makes it habitable.
Salvia in space
Half-light made colour.
Salvia takes in the light and returns it more slowly. It softens contrast and welcomes without comment.
- Sizes
- 120×120 · 60×120 cm

Decors
Velo and Volta.
Velo softens the boundary. Volta introduces the movement of third firing.
Relief
Velo
An atmospheric texture rises from the surface like a veil. The hand finds it before the eye.
60×120 cm · A02W
Relief
Volta
Volta evokes the rhythm of vaults through a continuous third-fired mark. The thread of gold emerges on the surface and changes intensity with the light.
60×120 cm · A03F · Third firing
Materials
A scale without hierarchy.
Matt ceramic, a dry branch and fluted glass build a scale of greens and greys.

- Dark wood
- Ceramic

- Fluted glass

Noema System
Salvia + Brera Taupe
In the Noema System, Salvia is paired with Brera Taupe.
Cromatica
Petrolio
Depth is not distance. It is density.
Petrolio in space
Concentrated light.
Petrolio does not colour a wall: it draws it away. In low light, it does not take light away; it concentrates it.
- Sizes
- 120×120 · 60×120 cm
- Thickness
- 8,5 mm

Decors
Tetra.
Restrained geometry gives scale and order to a deep wall.
Relief
Tetra
A tone-on-tone architectural grid in relief. It emerges in raking light and remains barely perceptible in frontal light.
60×120 cm · A02Y
Materials
Materials that return light.
Steel reflects light, travertine carries it, fluted glass breaks it and dark wood deepens it.

Noema System
Petrolio + Brera Grigio
In the Noema System, Petrolio is paired with Brera Grigio.
Ten earths
One material, read in two moments.
Avorio, Sabbia, Taupe, Terra and Grigio are earth before colour. Cotto, Cipria, Ambra, Salvia and Petrolio are the same earth at the moment it takes on colour.
