Radici presents Nembi and Saette, two dynamic new patterns in the Chroma collection by Milan-based designer Serena Confalonieri. These designs reinterpret the early 20th-century Spritzdekor technique, a hallmark of Art Deco and Bauhaus ceramics, bringing it to life on innovative textile flooring.

Chroma comprises eight artistic patterns, grouped into four capsule collections, each drawing inspiration from historic decorative movements. Confalonieri's Nembi and Saette specifically 'breathe new life into 1930s Bauhaus ceramics,' revisiting the Spritzdekor method, traditionally achieved with stencils and colour sprays to create soft, gradient effects on ceramic surfaces. The designer reimagines this with a refined, contemporary touch using textiles.
'With a contemporary and refined approach, Nembi and Saette patterns reimagine this technique through a modern lens,' states the design house. Nembi, evocative of billowing clouds, features 'delicate gradients that dissolve seamlessly into the textile, bringing lightness and luminosity to interiors.' In contrast, Saette channels the energy of lightning with 'sharp, dynamic lines to create a bold and vibrant effect.'
Nature serves as a common thread across Chroma, with motifs referencing wind, rain, clouds, and stone textures. The collection's colour palette spans 16 shades, from grounding darks like black and grey to vibrant corals, peaches and oranges, as well as more refined hues such as military green, plum and sky blue.
Chroma is produced on Radici's Bloom Back textile flooring, a fully recyclable, sustainable product made with Econyl yarn. The flooring is built with a single-component structure that combines polyamide-based surface and backing, allowing for complete recyclability at the end of its lifecycle.
The broader Chroma collection draws on a variety of art movements and techniques. Camo and Bora reference the Impressionist stippling technique of Pointillisme, while Casquè and Monsone evoke the expressive strokes of Picasso, Matisse and Hockney. Madame and Pinco reinterpret the ancient Oriental marbling technique introduced to Europe during the Renaissance.
By blending graphic precision with organic motifs, Confalonieri bridges past and present, offering a textile collection that is as visually striking as it is sustainably conscious.
