New texture of Planium
I have read, listened, written, drawn, painted, photographed, visited… Everything can be more interesting if you remain curious, if you do not lose the desire to learn and experiment. I pause to observe the contrasts of colors, the different points of view of a shot, the sound of synonyms with which the same thing can be described, the harmony of a painting. A note can also be color, poetry is also melody, an image can scream more than one word. The expression: that's all... it's all here. (Editorial Director - Art Director)
To talk about myself I would use the English concept of Language Enthusiast, with its bad translation into Italian. Years of study, travel and authentic and pulsating passion for what lies beyond the border converge in this expression. I have an indiscriminate interest in any culture and any person with a story to tell. I remain with difficulty compressed in my dimension, I feel the continuous need to push myself further. I can't stand the innuendo, the half sentences and the boredom of waiting rooms. Certainly communicative, analytical, I split reality into a thousand pieces and then reassemble it. I think and write in 4 languages, which I love all of them, because inside they sing me a beautiful song. (Editor - Translator).
What unites Piacentini's Architecture with Greenaway's Cinema, Munari's Design with Tiepolo's painting and Kandiskij's studies? What unites the election posters with the paper tickets we used for the tram? For visual culture, the challenge of the third millennium lies in seeing the red thread that binds each of its branches to tell the image and aesthetics. I would like to do it through a passion that comes from the tradition of classic cinema. After all, what is the history of Design if not the cerebral attempt to give a soul to matter, to plagiarize the form according to its most hidden meaning and all to be revealed? (Editor - Reporter)

In these years of apparent great changes in our lives, in the world of Design there has been a tendency to remain in the Minimal style, not leaving it gaunt and "pure" as when it was back in vogue, but enriching it with details that gradually dictate the color and style trends.
The flooring covered in metal is a choice that goes in this direction since we are talking about a material with its own personality depending on the color and type of treatment. Many architects and interior designers know how to appreciate its versatility and especially the combination of material resistance and scenographic effect. PLANIUM, which has been working metal with steel in the first place for years, proposes two textures for the current autumn/winter that relate to a brand new Oxidized Steel. These reach different chromatic shades and are available in two versions.
The first, brushed, is iron gray, stone gray or walnut color. In short, shades of gray very close to cedar brown/wood, browns with slightly cold shades. And in fact, it is a type of metal that can ideally be combined with wood, to alternate between similar colors but one opaque, the other brighter and more iridescent, in a classic encounter.
PLANIUM metal is in fact laid on the floor, but it can also be applied to the wall for original coverings.
The other texture available for oxidized steel is "Canvas". This is, due to its chromatic saturation, the quintessence of autumn, with its full brown, a Shadowland brown and the double orthogonal satin treatment - i.e. vertically and horizontally - which makes it materially treated and stands out even to the touch.
For both the brushed version and the “Canvas” texture, the color trend plays a role of great impact - as always for PLANIUM metals - covering the October-March range.
A steel therefore divided between hot and cold, which can also be combined with other types of PLANIUM metal for finishes: Brass, Copper and types of machined Steel such as dark Calamine or the electrolytically treated one called "Stainless concrete". Creative patterns to create wall compositions or floor “islands of color”, for large public or private spaces of offices, museums, installations, fairs.
