ETHEREA | Signature Collection 

Where vision becomes matter

There is a moment, between the first light of dawn and the awakening of the senses, when the world seems suspended. It is a subtle boundary where the solidity of stone meets the evanescence of air. Within this space of pure suggestion, Etherea is born — the new collection by Affreschi & Affreschi.

We asked matter to become light. We transformed our handcrafted plaster, a living body of lime and marble powder, into a palimpsest of visions where contemporary design dialogues with the ancestral soul of the wall.

Etherea is an exploration of the limit.

It is found in perspective architectures that challenge the eye, creating depth where once there was a boundary.
It is found in layers of memory, where fragile papers and eroded fresco fragments resurface like precious memories.
It is a journey to the East, among the mists of Mount Fuji and the silent grace of a silk kimono.
It is in the primordial breath of the tropics, where the nature of Bali imprints itself into the material texture, transforming the wall into a mineral garden that lives and breathes.

With Etherea, decoration does not occupy space — it frees it.
Every surface is an invitation to look beyond, to touch the texture of a dream made substance. Because a fresco is not merely a covering, but the imprint of time on the skin of architecture.

Chapter I: ARCHETYPA

Design by Studio Milo | ‘Geometries of the Soul’

In this chapter, Studio Milo‘s vision transforms the rigidity of architecture into a fluid sensory experience.
The concept explores the dialogue between the solidity of the fresco and the immateriality of emptiness, using lines and volumes as vectors of emotion. The surfaces do more than merely decorate; they construct new perspectives where geometric rigour dissolves into reflections and transparencies, inviting the gaze to lose itself in an ever-changing horizon.

Chapter II: MEMORIE

Design by Studio Zero | Weaves of Time

Studio Zero presents a poetic exploration of the layering of time. In MEMORIES, the wall becomes a palimpsest where the ancient and the contemporary exist in perfect harmony. The concept celebrates the beauty of fragments: overlapping papers, weathered frescoes and glimpses of the work of Leonardo da Vinci that re-emerge from the plaster like whispers of history. It is a tribute to collective memory, transforming into a surface and ennobling every space with a timeless artistic aura.

Chapter III: POETICA

Design by Marta Cortese | Silk Horizons

Marta Cortese‘s artistic vision has given rise to POETICA, a journey towards a dreamlike Orient, from the silence of Kyoto to the mists of Mount Fuji. The concept revolves around graceful aesthetics and the ritual of making marks. Drawing inspiration from the ‘Floating World‘, Cortese imbues the fresco with the lightness of silk and the delicacy of dew. Each piece is a veil of mist that both conceals and reveals, telling a visual story of subtle gestures and gentle chromatic harmonies.

Chapter IV: ESSENTIA

Bali Series | Tropical Whispers

ESSENTIA is the chapter dedicated to the vital force of nature, offering an immersive experience at the heart of Bali’s botanical world. The concept is one of primordial reconnection: the mineral substance of the plaster embraces the sap of the tropics, capturing the energy of giant leaves and biophilic atmospheres.
Breaking free from traditional graphic constraints, the series allows natural elements to speak for
themselves, creating a domestic sanctuary where filtered light and veiled textures bring the walls to life.
