Just as the chiaroscuro technique uses the contrast between light and dark to create the illusion of three-dimensionality, Pietre Chiaroscure backlit walls underscore the decorative motifs by skilfully distributing light and dark areas

Pietre Chiaroscure, the new collection of backlit walls by Lithos Design, joins the Pietre Luminose family in continuing the exploration of the translucent properties of marble.
Thanks to in-depth lighting studies, sophisticated stone processing, and a turnkey configuration, Tweed and Stripes meet the needs of each and every project, while improving the aesthetics of the walls with surprising decorative and light effects that open the way to countless variations.
Taking their cue from the sgraffito technique used in architecture, the modules are made of two layers of marble on top of one another. Parts of a matt upper layer are carved away to delineate a pattern and let the light filter through the translucent surface of the layer below.

The width and thickness of the engravings are calibrated to achieve a 3D effect and generate different perceptions based on the intensity of the light.
Four options are proposed: Liquirizia (Carrara Ghiaccio and Nero Marquinia), Smeraldo (Carrara Ghiaccio and Verde Imperiale), Caramello (Estremoz and Giallo Siena) and Greige (Estremoz and Harmony Grey). Chic and stylish like the fabrics that inspired their names, Tweed and Stripes backlit walls create a pleased harmony with the interior world.

Tweed’s line of backlit panels create a Kaleidoscope of light and shadow that brings out the 3D quality of a texture evoking the motifs of the fabric. Stripes line of LED lit wall modules reveal decorative motifs by partially removing the covering material from the underlying translucent panel. The vertical engravings are all the same width, while projections of different heights trigger a reversal in perception when the wall is lit.
