How they read
In their own wordsZen is a colour in Meoded's Concretta FS Microcement Plaster range, a mineral-based, lime- and cement-based plaster that is hand-troweled to a smooth matte finish with subtle movement.
Le Cygne — the swan — is a warm, matte ivory from the French house Ressource. It has the chalky, light-absorbing quality of old lime plaster, which is why it looks so at home on Haussmann paneling and ceiling roses: it softens the light rather than bouncing it around. Cream is present, yellow is not.
