Material Palette
Textured Plaster: It feels rough and organic. It gains character through natural wear and subtle color shifts over time.
Raw-Edge Wood: It feels solid and unpolished. It develops a rich patina and deeper grain with age and use.
Natural Linen: It feels crisp yet soft. It softens further with age, showing graceful creases and maintaining its breathable quality.
