We are excited to share our recent collaboration with Scott Osborn in the vibrant Upper Street, London.
Covering approximately 70m2, the Magma Microcement system displayed unrivalled versatility, enhancing the look of different areas to achieve a unique and stylish finish.

The installation required careful preparation of the surfaces to create a strong base for applying the microcement. The microcement system used unique colors.
