Surfaces in Los Angeles

Architectural surfaces influence how a room looks, feels, and responds to light. At GRAYE, our collection of surfaces in Los Angeles brings together Italian design, considered materials, and distinctive finishes for contemporary interiors. From geometric metal wall panels to wood veneer cladding and decorative surface systems, each design offers a different way to shape a room’s character.

Explore Architectural Surfaces by Design

GRAYE’s surface collection includes designs by Italian makers and international designers, with options ranging from geometric patterns to textured wall cladding. The right choice depends on the architecture, the materials already in the room, and the visual effect you want the surface to create.

Geometric and Textured Wall Surfaces

Patterned surfaces can add depth to an interior without relying on additional decorative objects. Repetition, dimensional detail, and the way a finish catches light all influence the final effect.

• Diamond 30 by R&D De Castelli features a geometric diamond pattern suited to interiors where the wall treatment is intended to be a defining design element.
• Square 30 by R&D De Castelli offers a square-based surface design for a more structured architectural look.
• Square 50 by R&D De Castelli uses repeated square modules with varied thicknesses to create a three-dimensional effect. The design is available in stainless steel, brass, and copper.
• Hexagon by R&D De Castelli brings a geometric format to decorative wall design.
• 3D Wall by R&D De Castelli uses square modules with diagonal sections. Stainless steel, brass, and copper options allow for different material expressions, while customized module arrangements can create contrasts in color and texture.

These surfaces can be considered for feature walls, reception areas, and other interiors where material and pattern play a central role. Final suitability depends on the project’s dimensions, installation requirements, and selected finish.

Metal Wall Cladding and Decorative Panels

Metal surfaces can introduce a crisp architectural quality, with the finish contributing as much to the design as the panel’s shape. Depending on the material and treatment, metal can read as understated, reflective, or richly textured.

• Vela by Gnosis Progetti is a wall cladding option available in stainless steel, brass, or copper.
• Cannete by Adriano Design is a wall cladding system offered in stainless steel, brass, or copper.
• Plisse by Nathalie Dewez brings another metal wall cladding option to the collection, with stainless steel, brass, and copper finishes.
• Boiserie & Scomposta by R&D De Castelli comprises wall covering systems with panels in different sizes and options in metal, wood, or aluminum.
• Forma by R&D De Castelli offers an additional surface design for projects that call for a distinctive architectural finish.

For residential interiors, these designs may be considered for feature walls, entryways, and spaces where cladding helps establish a material palette. In hospitality or commercial settings, they can contribute to reception areas and other prominent interior surfaces. Confirm available finishes, dimensions, and installation specifications for the selected design before finalizing a project.

Wood Veneer and Warm Architectural Finishes

Wood introduces natural variation and warmth into a material scheme. It can balance stone, glass, and metal, or connect a wall treatment with wood furniture and flooring. Wooden Panels by C.R. & S. Porro are wood veneer wall cladding panels. They offer an option for interiors where a wood finish is preferred over a metallic or geometric surface. For a cohesive interior, consider how the veneer tone relates to flooring, cabinetry, furniture, and natural light. Samples and finish information can help establish whether the selected surface complements the other materials in the room.

Distinctive Designs and Contemporary Systems for Surfaces

Some surfaces are defined by a particular visual language or by a combination of texture and material. These designs can help establish a focal point or introduce a more individual detail into a larger architectural scheme.

• Poyagi by Zanellato/Bortotto offers a designer surface option within the collection.
• Solar by Zanellato/Bortotto provides another approach to decorative surface design.
• Copycat by Cino Zucchi adds a further option for projects exploring contemporary surface treatments.
• Cipher by Francesco Forcellini offers another designer-led surface for consideration.
• Decode by Pino Scaglione is a collection of sound-absorbing hexagonal modules with laser-cut metal surfaces and recycled polyester matting. It is available in copper with various finishes.
• Vertical Green offers a distinct option within the broader surface collection.

Each product has its own design specifications. Contact GRAYE for details on materials, available configurations, and suitability for your intended application.

Choosing the Right Surface for Your Interior

The best surface depends on the room’s function, the existing architecture, and how much visual attention the finish should command. A considered selection also accounts for lighting, adjoining materials, and the scale of the installation.

• For living areas: Textured or patterned wall panels can establish a focal point behind a seating arrangement or in a transition between rooms. Keep nearby furniture and accessories in mind when deciding how prominent the surface should be.
• For entryways and feature walls: Geometric metal panels and decorative cladding can create a strong first impression. Consider sightlines from the entrance and how daylight or architectural lighting will fall across the finish.
• For bedrooms: Wood veneer panels can bring warmth to the material palette, particularly when coordinated with bedside furniture, flooring, and other wood details.
• For hospitality and commercial interiors: Wall cladding and decorative surface systems can help establish a consistent design language across reception areas, meeting rooms, and other shared spaces. Confirm the product’s technical requirements for the intended setting.
• For projects with acoustic considerations: Decode is listed as a sound-absorbing surface system. Ask the GRAYE team for its technical documentation and performance details when acoustic treatment is part of the brief.

Materials, Finishes, and Project Specifications

Material selection affects the appearance, upkeep, and installation requirements of a surface. GRAYE’s collection includes metal cladding, wood veneer panels, and other decorative surface designs. Specific material options vary by product. Stainless steel, brass, and copper are available for selected De Castelli and other metal cladding systems. Their appearance can differ with the finish, surrounding materials, and lighting conditions. Wood veneer offers a different visual quality, with grain and tone helping connect a surface to the wider interior. Before specifying a product, confirm the details that will affect installation and long-term use:

• Available materials, finishes, colors, and dimensions
• Panel sizes, layout options, and whether custom configurations are offered
• Substrate and fixing requirements
• Cleaning and maintenance guidance
• Lead times, delivery arrangements, and any project-specific requirements

Product pages identify some customization options, but availability depends on the individual design. GRAYE can help direct your inquiry to the relevant specifications for your project.

Coordinate Surfaces with Furniture and Lighting

A wall treatment works best when it is considered alongside the rest of the room. Pairing a patterned surface with furniture that has simple lines can give the material room to stand out. Conversely, a quieter wall finish may complement sculptural furniture or a more expressive lighting design. Think about contrast as well as coordination. Metal cladding can introduce a different texture beside wood furniture, while wood veneer can soften a palette with stone, glass, or polished metal. Lighting also affects how surface details appear throughout the day, particularly on three-dimensional panels. Explore GRAYE’s lighting collection and furniture collections to consider how finishes and forms work together. For a project involving multiple rooms, the design team can help you review the overall material direction before individual selections are finalized.
