About Tramae Wallcovering Collection
Tramae is a wallcovering collection for interior surfaces. The design translates the sand casting technique of Italian artist Costantino Nivola into a three dimensional relief with a sandy texture. Tramae is produced on GlamOrigin, a matt material made of quartz powder layered on a non-woven fabric backing. Four free match patterns are offered in Pure White or Silk Grey. The patterns and the two tones can be combined to create calm or more dynamic surfaces. The hand worked effect is transferred to a ready to use material, so tactile depth is achieved on large areas.

- Production Technology
- Tramae Collection are made on GlamOrigin material: a matt, three-dimensional textured wallcovering, characterised by incisions and reliefs that evoke the sculpted plaster or handcrafted concrete. Its composition, obtained through a semi-artisan production process, is a layering of quartz powder on a non-woven fabric backing. Distinctive features, such as the irregular effect of the surface and slight variations in tone, derive from the use of natural raw materials. These elements emphasise its uniqueness and enhance its aesthetic value, giving it an authentic character.
- Inspiration
- The collection pays tribute to Italian artist Costantino Nivola (1911–1988) and his invented sand-casting technique: pouring plaster or concrete onto sand sculpted in negative to obtain pleasantly irregular reliefs. It secured his reputation as a “sculptor for architecture”, with collaborations on Modernist icons such as the Olivetti showroom in New York. Glamora now reinterprets this approach, creating a timeless wallcovering that evokes the aesthetic of handcrafted surface treatments.
- Project Duration
- The collection is distinguished by its exceptional design versatility. Its structure, composed of four free-match patterns and two combinable tones, allows for compositions ranging from subtle, understated solutions to configurations that bring movement and depth to surfaces. For example, different patterns can be combined in the same shade to create a minimal monochromatic effect, or variations of the same pattern can be alternated in different colours for a more expressive and dynamic result.
