BRILLIO Brillio

BRILLIO is an innovative Italian plaster that luxuriously incorporates real iron powder into Grassello, a traditional Italian lime plastering material, finished with trowel work and polishing. Unlike metallic paints or metallic waxes, it imparts the genuine texture of real metal onto wall surfaces—something that pigments alone can never replicate. The base Grassello is a traditional material born from long-aged lime, possessing both flexibility and depth. By kneading iron powder into this lime, layering it, and polishing it, the surface reveals the distinctive dull luster and deep shadows characteristic of metal. Depending on the degree of polishing and trowel pressure, you can create expressions where the iron seems to emerge from within, or form substantial surfaces that quietly reflect light. While decorative finishes like Marcopolo Luxury, LUNA NUOVA, CADORO, and Metaluce are 'metallic expressions,' BRILLIO's greatest feature is that the material itself is metal. Therefore, light reflection is not uniform—it subtly changes with viewing angle, distance, and time of day, giving the wall surface a living texture. The impression that permeates the space is rather serene and heavy than flashy, and overwhelmingly real. Additionally, due to the inherent properties of iron as a material, slight deepening of color and textural changes may occur over time. This is not deterioration—it appears as an 'aged beauty' where the material accepts time and matures together with the space. BRILLIO is a finish that improves in completeness through continued use, rather than reaching its peak at the moment of completion. Typically, other companies' metallic finishes require layering multiple specialized materials and processes, which increases costs and raises the barrier to adoption for projects. BRILLIO, on the other hand, entrusts many of the factors that determine the quality of the finish to craftsman skill rather than materials. Since the materials and processes themselves are not complex, it achieves extremely high-quality texture expression with a relatively rational configuration. This makes it suitable for expansion to large areas, not just small accent walls. Inorganic yet somehow organic. Industrial yet strongly retaining traces of handwork. BRILLIO, which allows these contradictory elements to coexist on a single wall surface, is an Italian plaster most suited for spaces where the true value of materials can be expressed—homes, shops, galleries, hotels, and more. BRILLIO was born from the philosophy of 'showcasing the material itself' rather than decoration. It is a special finish that allows you to incorporate the weight and persuasiveness that only genuine materials possess into your space as a realistic option.
