Painting and decorative techniques open a window into different eras and aesthetics, offering a visual journey through bold graphics and vibrant patterns, enhancing colour in all its nuances. Radici presents the new Chroma collection by Serena Confalonieri during Milano Design Week 2025 at Corso Garibaldi 17, within the Camera Picta installation, also designed by the artist. This project celebrates textile surfaces through a dialogue between architecture, history, innovation, and contemporary design, in collaboration with wallpaper brand Zambaiti Parati.
Chroma features eight designs divided into four pattern families, each inspired by a different painting and decorative technique. The artistic gesture translates into a narrative of dynamic motifs and graphic elements, intertwined with natural inspirations and their visual interpretations, from wind and rain to clouds, lightning, and lithic elements.
'The Chroma collection moves across different eras and aesthetics,' says Serena Confalonieri. 'It starts from Pointillism, a dotted version of Impressionism, and moves through charcoal drawing, used by Picasso, Matisse, and Hockney, to the Spritzdekor technique of 1930s Bauhaus ceramics, ending with marbling.'
Anticipating the textile surface collection is the Madame pattern, which—together with Pinco—draws from the marbling technique: a process that originated in the East and arrived in Europe during the Renaissance, capable of transforming and redefining the appearance of any surface. Similarly, Madame hides within its sharp geometries a pattern reminiscent of marble and natural stone. Pastel shades blend with bold colours, while precise geometric shapes and fluid brushstrokes create a harmonious and unexpected design, bridging the history and permanence of stone with the modernity of contemporary forms and symbols.
