Cremona is a horizontal stripe of the grandest scale, broad blocks of colour interspersed with delicate strie and metallic effects, so the bands read as washes of texture rather than flat rules. Run around a room, a horizontal stripe of this width settles the walls and stretches them outward, a quietly architectural gesture. It is named after Cremona, in the Po valley in Lombardy.
It is made in the United Kingdom. The strie and metallic passages give the surface life as the light changes through the day, which suits rooms used at different hours, dining rooms, halls, studies and sitting rooms, and the scale asks for reasonably generous walls to show the bands complete.
