Chroma Composites

Chroma Composites is an Italian materials company founded in 2007 in the province of Benevento, in the Sannio hills. Its founders came from leading mineral agglomerate producers and built the business on scrap: stone and mineral waste collected around the headquarters is turned into surfaces and solid pieces, echoing the opus incertum of the local walls.

The Mersus process hybridises natural and artificial elements into slabs and objects, each with a different composition and finish. Chroma supplies a sample collection of materials to architects and designers, produces its own line of objects, and develops custom projects that run from waste recovery to new material formulation, keeping production in the region.
