Light and shadow. Two apparently antagonistic elements but at the same time so intrinsically related to each other. Together or separately, they transform spaces, giving them personality and character. At GPC Mares we are passionate about creating new concepts taking advantage of the art of light and shadow. Thus, the new Chiaroscuro collection is a clear example of that, being a game of contrasts in lighting by combining lighted with dark areas.

Chiaroscuro consists of a variety of perforated designs presented on different materials that will bring great prominence and originality to the decoration of spaces. This range is based on collections already created by GPC Mares, to which value has been added through this innovative touch, playing with light and shadow. 

All the materials in the range are very valid options. They have been chosen by GPC Mares and they are the ones that we present to you in the catalogue. In addition, they cover a wide spectrum of looks, although the final result is totally up to your preferences since the designs can be applied to many of our other materials and their different colours and transparencies. What is more, various thicknesses can be chosen depending on the desired result, the inner face can be customized or be used on washable waterproof materials. 

Below we present an approximation of the materials that make up the Chiaroscuro range. Which one catches your attention the most?

CORBUSIER

A material with a design inspired by the vintage style from the last century.

LOFT

Inspired by the purest industrial style. Loft takes us back to the 50s and 60s in New York, taking inspiration from the industrial conversion of spaces with its high ceilings, floor-to-ceiling windows and exposed pipes, beams and brick walls.

SKYLINE

A design with a very subtle and versatile perforation, in which the symmetry of its holes can suggest a net effect. Depending on the material it is applied to, a very different final effect is achieved. If applied to the metallic Frost collection, it will provide a very elegant, discreet and sophisticated touch. In more neutral materials such as Montblanc or Pergamino, the Skyline design is a safe bet for minimalist spaces where every detail is meticulously taken care of.

OXFORD and SCOTLAND

Clean and elegant designs, ideal when looking for a classical British style. Also perfect to give an original touch to minimalist design spaces.

DAISY

Great for romantic or arabesque-inspired settings. In the image we present the Daisy design on two GPC Mares materials: on the one hand, white Parchment, which is more transparent. On the other hand, our raw Montblanc has more contrast.
