Claywise®
The Lithos Collection Four grades of one material

Four plasters. One material.

Lithos — from the Greek for stone — is the founding collection of Claywise. Each grade is drawn from the same natural clays, refined to a different character — from raw and sculptural to fine and luminous. Together they form a complete language of natural surface, shown here on the projects that carry them.

LTH · I

Cruda

Clay in its rawest expression

The honest, unpolished surface of the earth itself. Cruda carries the movement of the hand that placed it — quiet, raw and true to the ground it came from.

Terra

The grounded body of the collection

Warm, balanced surfaces with a soft matte depth — the grade we reach for most. Terra reads calm in daylight and warmer again by lamplight, grounding a room without ever asking for attention.

Lumen

The finest grade

The finest-graded of the four — a smooth, luminous surface with a silk-like depth that carries light softly across a room. Lumen is where most people who think they know clay change their mind about it.

Earth Plaster

The heavy-bodied grade

Large natural aggregates and a deep, sculptural texture — a strong finish with real presence, for walls that are meant to be felt as much as seen. Layered in earthen tones, it carries the strata of rammed earth at just 8–10 millimetres, as it does at JLL’s Sydney headquarters.

The Colours Named from the earth, not the fan deck

The colour is the clay itself

Claywise colours begin with the material, not a pigment chart. The most chosen colour in the collection is the one we don’t pigment at all.

BoneThe natural, unpigmented tone of the clay — a warm white, and the most specified colour in the collection.
Aroha BoneBone’s softly pigmented sibling — as placed throughout Bellevue Hill House and the QVB.
Atla MistA cool, cloudy grey with quiet movement — as placed at Annandale Residence.

The full colour library ships with the Sample Box, printed on archival stock.
