VENETIAN PLASTER'S EASTERN BROTHER


We are always been looking for new and different wall finishes, and by wall finishes, we don't mean using a brush, sponge or paint, we mean plaster and textural finishes. Venetian plaster is the obvious one many people know about, many guys have learned some basic venetian plaster techniques  and you see it used in many applications, some that apply, some that don't.

The bottom line is that when we are looking for new finishes, what we really come up with are old finishes and ways to apply them in a modern setting.  This brings us to our "newest" finish from Shikoku, Japan, Eco De Vita.  This Japanese plaster recreates the look found in Japanese homes, temples and tea houses. While it has many of the ecofriendly qualities of a Venetian plaster, it has a completely different look and feel, which lends itself to applications in contemporary homes where a traditional Venetian might not work.  Here are a few pictures of some of the applications.  The product has a very sandy texture which creates very interesting looking spaces.

If you have a more contemporary looking space, this might be something up your alley. We have samples and can come do a consultation so you can see this product in person -- Ciao, Kevin

I think the fine-grain texture can look great in a contemporary space. The dark blue is a more difficult sell (to me) but I can see a medium gray, for sure. Jane
