Marmorino
Classic Italian Stone & Stucco Finish by Colorado Artisans
Marmorino is a traditional Italian plaster made from slaked lime putty and dolomite marble dust with a slightly coarser aggregate than Grassello. This gives it a beautiful smooth stone or fine stucco appearance with subtle depth and movement.
It offers a versatile range of finishes — from soft matte to medium sheen — and creates the look and feel of polished natural stone. Marmorino is highly durable, breathable, and naturally antimicrobial, making it an excellent choice for both interior and exterior applications.
Perfect for accent walls, fireplaces, entire rooms, and outdoor surfaces, Marmorino delivers timeless elegance with excellent longevity.

Jake at iconic did the walls and fireplace at my shop and it looks amazing. He put 24k gold leaf veining on the side walls, a matte finish on the fireplace, he did it quick and the price was right. 10/10 would definitely recommend and would 100% get more work done by him! Everybody who sees the walls loves his work!
We had a few holes before moving out that we needed patched - the quality of the finish on the walls was so good you couldn't even tell it had been repaired! Super responsive, respectful, and professional. They truly care about their work, money well spent! -Jacob
We had Jake and his crew do a beautiful venetian plaster in our bathroom that really came out amazing! These guys were so respectful of our home and seemed to be super efficient with how fast they worked to get us our home back. We just wish we could do this all over our house now!
We are THRILLED with our fireplace update. All star team and work. We are planning our next project with ICONIC Wall finishing and can’t wait for the final finished updates
