PLEIADI - THE VALUE OF COTTON
Pleiadi is a decorative wall covering  that stands out for its aesthetic impact and sustainable and ecological approach as well as its high sound absorption performance.

It is a system composed of bricks made from cotton linters, short downy hairs that surrounds the cotton seed after it is first ginned, and clays. Obtained through an artisanal cold-processing process, it offers a new life and functionality to what is generally considered waste from cotton production.

Available in "nature" color, a finish inspired by the natural world, also obtained in a handcrafted way by mixing natural earths and without the addition of artificial dyes or mordants. The individual elements, characterized by raised textures, can be freely combined with a uniform repetition or through a freer combination depending on the positioning of the individual tiles. Having the advantage of being breathable, they are able to provide high levels of sound absorption at extremely low thicknesses.
