Showroom Laura Meroni Design Collection, Alzate Brianza Italy

Onice is a finish created using the verre églomisé technique , in this project, using silver leaf — an especially harmonious choice for the back bar and the pendant lamps in the Laura Meroni showroom.

Through a play of reflections, the surface creates a striking optical effect, evoking the appearance and depth of a slab of genuine onyx stone.

This finish, achieved through the use of gold leaf in different shades, offers extensive possibilities for customization and a high degree of adaptability to the design context.

Antiqued mirrors

Antique mirrors are created using a process known as silvering, an ancient technique dating back to the 19th century.

Mediante un trattamento chimico, l’argento liquido viene separato e depositato sulla superficie del vetro, formando lo strato riflettente. La fase successiva di anticatura si esegue attraverso l’utilizzo di diversi agenti ossidativi applicati sulla lastra argentata, che permettono di modulare texture, profondità e grado di anticatura.

Verre églomisé

Il Verre églomisé è una tecnica decorativa che prevede l’applicazione a mano di foglie d’oro, argento o altri metalli preziosi sul retro del vetro, creando un effetto riflettente sulla superficie.


I complement this technique with further decorative and painting processes: the use of pigments, powders and natural resins is combined with oxidative treatments of metal leaf, creating unique surfaces with an infinite variety of colour effects.
