The project
Massara serves the food of Southern Italy’s Campania region, and the room is built from the same register: reclaimed timber, stone, marble and clay, with brass and bronze light fittings sourced in Italy.
Smooth clay plaster in BRO-03 carries the walls, with Rustic used where a coarser 6–7 mm grain suited the surface. Against a palette of terracotta, deep olive and warm timber the plaster reads as rural and coastal rather than decorative — earth colour in an earth material.
