AURA
captivating brilliance
The series people meet us through. The depth of pearl and the glint of metal in one bottle — it's the first thing that catches the eye, on the shelf or on screen.

Six series, one signature.
DAZZLE
a shimmer of its own
The effect specialist: metallic, pearlescent and self-varnishing. It dries to a glass-like surface — no extra coat needed.
Colour shown 601 Ember
LIQUID LEAF
the final touch, the brightest mark
Gold leaf you brush on: a dense metallic gel straight from the jar that gives a genuine leaf effect on edges, relief and highlights. 15 colours.
Colour shown 702 Royal Gold
MULTISURFACES
a paint for every surface
The workhorse of the studio. Wood, ceramic, MDF, stone paste, decorative objects — one paint, every surface. Our widest colour range lives here.
Colour in the video 052 Steel Blue
UPCYCLE
effortless coverage — new life for old things
One more chance before you throw that furniture out. Grips with minimal sanding, goes on in a single pass, and makes an old surface look new.
Colour shown 031 Prussian Blue
PLUS
paint + varnish in a single coat
The acrylic that removes the varnishing step: the coat you apply is both colour and protection. A favourite of studios that work fast.

FARBELAB · STANDARD-SERIE
Colour in its
laboratory form.
Water-based acrylic · high pigment · 10 colours · 120 ml
02 — MEDIUM BODY · PROFESSIONAL ACRYLIC
Never fights the brush,
always leaves its mark.
Medium body: it flows off the brush without dragging, yet still holds the edge of a stroke. Use it straight from the tube, no thinning needed. Diluted with water it goes thin and transparent; worked with a palette knife it stays full-bodied — the same tube behaves the same way in both techniques.
Water-based acrylic · high pigment load, single-coat coverage in most colours · lightfastness +++ · dries to a flexible, water-resistant film.
03 — STANDARD-SERIE · 120 ML ℮

One standard.
We don't hide pigment codes — we print them on the tube. Because knowing what you're using is a professional's right. Opacity ■ four steps · Lightfastness +++. Each colour opens its own page.
