Tramae

With Tramae Collection, Glamora explores new material dimensions, blending aesthetics, innovation, and functionality. The collection’s wallcoverings, crafted from GlamOrigin, a pure and tactile material, stand out for their three-dimensional, sandy texture, which lends surfaces remarkable expressive depth.

The collection is a tribute to the Italian artist Costantino Nivola (1911–1988), and in particular to the sand casting technique he invented.

This process involved pouring plaster or concrete onto a sand surface that had been previously sculpted in negative, resulting in reliefs with a pleasantly irregular texture.

Sand Casting made Nivola’s work unique and cemented his reputation as a “sculptor for architecture”, leading to collaborations with the great masters of Modernism on iconic architectural projects, including the Olivetti showroom in New York.

His sculptural approach is now reinterpreted by Glamora in a contemporary way, giving rise to a wallcovering that evokes the aesthetic of handcrafted surface treatments.
