Originally from the Far East, hand marbled paper reached the Venetian Republic on Renaissance trade routes and became a sought-after commodity, eventually reproduced by local artisans and becoming synonymous with La Serenissima itself. Swirling patterns of hand-dipped ink are recreated in Romeo from sheets of paper that imitate marble in a stylized way - it intentionally looks like trompe l’oeil, which is the essence of its charm. Available in lapis, carrara, and topaz, it coordinates brilliantly with Mongiardino - pair it for a statement making motif in a small space or use Romeo all on its own for a quieter, but no less sophisticated, effect.
