“LAYER EFFECT™”, the revolutionary line of finishes from the Molteni Vernici brand, is a material amplifier capable of giving treated surfaces the unmistakable soft and luminous appearance of bronzed, burnished, or brushed metal.
It is from this creative, ever-evolving mindset that the BOOKBIKE project was born, premiered at the Leonardo da Vinci National Museum of Science and Technology in Milan.
A project born from the creative flair of the Molteni Vernici Style Center, capable of translating ideas generated by a co-working team—representing the future of Made in Italy—into tangible finishes, allowing you to experience the elegance
of the new LAYER EFFECT™ finishes.
"We don't just offer solutions," he continues, "but we manage to satisfy any aesthetic requirement, working together with the client to build the desired shades and finishes, ensuring absolute repeatability, always, at any time."
Entirely Made in Italy, the new Layer Effect™ collection was created specifically to meet the needs and architectural utopias of brands, artists, and designers.
Masterfully echoing the oldest Italian tradition founded on creativity and the exclusivity of true style, and supported by the most advanced technologies, the Molteni Vernici brand has defined an extraordinary finish that can be industrially spray-applied to any type of substrate, such as metals, metal alloys, AISI steel, plastic polymers, MDF, wood, and similar materials. It is weather-resistant, resistant to common cleaning products and food, non-yellowing, wear-resistant, and anti-touch. The product is suitable for both indoor applications (doors, furniture, kitchens, appliances, profiles, home decor, frames, furnishing accessories, handles) and outdoor applications (windows and doors, facades, architecture, structures, roofing, and cladding).
