Madama Butterfly Collection

Madama Butterfly Collection is the result of a fascinating journey of discovery, exploring Japanese culture and its reflections in the European world. A tribute to Giacomo Puccini's opera of the same name, characterised by a perfect balance between compositional freedom and rigorous geometry, between logic and sentiment.
Concept
The aim is to convey a calm, rarefied elegance by evoking the emotion of an encounter between East and West, between contemporaneity and tradition, as well as between different materials, creating unprecedented effects.
The figure of the geisha, Madama Butterfly, is the main character who brings the scene to life. An imaginary silhouette that moves in architectural spaces defined by soft tones and precise rhythms, interrupted by variations in sequence and invigorated by natural stylistic features such as reeds and leaves.

In an intense, muffled universe between inside and outside, everything is governed by a precise order and an original harmony, which make this collection timeless.
How the collection is structured
Madama Butterfly Collection consists of five subjects whose names evoke some of the most poetic verses from Puccini’s opera. Each one is made up of a combination of elements in different materials that dialogue with each other thanks to the presence of a thin golden joining profile.

The result is a wallcoverings proposal with predefined dimensions, all three metres in height, but with different widths, allowing professionals great compositional and decorative autonomy.

With this innovative concept, Glamora has created a collection with a strong sensory character, extending the traditional canons of wall decoration and transforming the wallcovering into a true architectural installation integrated into the interior design.
Materials and colour palette
Glamora has developed a series of materials with a natural soul designed to combine harmoniously with each other, expressing a look that embraces both contemporaneity and tradition. These include GlamBirch, a lightweight sheet of birch that highlights the warm essence of wood. GlamRafia, made of woven plant fibres, defined by a dense and irregular visual rhythm that plays with the light, multiplying its effects. GlamCork entrusts its material beauty to bleached cork, creating a refined atmosphere in the spaces it inhabits. And, lastly, GlamVelour, velvety soft to the touch and the eye, designed to delicately embellish the space with a palette of mellow shades. Materials that join GlamPure, a nonwoven fabric made of pure linen and viscose, and GlamSatin, viscose with mineral powder characterised by a special iridescent finish that evokes the sheen of silk.

The colour palette that emerges is a symphony of grey, pink, ivory and cream tones, ideal for refined and contemporary interiors in a constant dialogue between minimalism and taste for decoration.
Design suggestions
Madama Butterfly Collection is a blend of high quality materials, aesthetic sensitivity and different cultures, which elegantly fit into the framework of the most sophisticated interior design projects, creating an immersive experience with a strong tactile and visual component. The combination of different materials creates a unique composition, where each element interacts with the others in a harmonious balance.

With its distinctive set composition and modular system, the collection offers creative freedom to architects and interior designers, allowing them to design entire walls with the same, repeated subject, or juxtapose different subjects and create sequences.

One alternative that can create a visual counterpoint, is to combine a plain material with a pattern. Glamora offers a choice of two plain materials: GlamPure, the organic wallcovering made of European linen, and GlamSatin, a viscose with a textured, pearlescent hand.
