Designing with light: Johnson’s new pearlescent lacquers

A new collection of lacquered finishes that incorporates visual depth, subtle nuances, and controlled shine to enrich contemporary design projects.

Contemporary design is no longer defined solely by form. Today, surface takes center stage: it creates atmosphere, complements the architecture of the space, and transforms the way we inhabit each environment.

Introducing a new pearlescent lacquer finish, developed to enrich the solid color with depth, soft nuances, and a carefully controlled sheen. Solid, defined surfaces where the pearlescent effect appears subtly, complementing the color without diluting it, adding visual richness and a more contemporary interpretation of the lacquer.

A surface that can be felt before it can be explained.

A new way to read color

Every angle reveals something new. The pearlescent lacquer transforms the surface into something alive, interacting with the light and changing with it. In spaces with natural light, large planes, and continuous materials, these finishes bring movement and sophistication without the need for flashy gestures. The detail that makes all the difference.

Pearlescent lacquer finishes: technology you can see

Our pearlescent lacquers combine metallic pigments with pearlescent particles, generating a deep, luminous visual effect that changes depending on the viewing angle and the incidence of light.

The color is built as a solid, uniform, and defined base, upon which the pearlescent coating subtly floats, adding nuances and depth without altering its chromatic identity. The result is surfaces with presence, a sophisticated—never flat—sheen, and a visual texture that unfolds over time.

Pearlescent coating does not dilute the color, it enriches it.

Six new lacquered colors to add to the palette

We developed this collection to offer different intensities and personalities in pearlescent lacquered finishes, always with presence and balance:

  • Pearl Rose: A delicate and modern rosé. Warmth and luminosity for enveloping atmospheres.
  • Champagne: Warm and expressive. It naturally complements woods, stones, and fine materials.
  • Matte Bronze: Opaque and contemporary. For projects with clean lines and modern aesthetics.
  • Pearl Platina: Clear and luminous. Versatile, it complements without being overpowering.
  • Dark Brown: Deep and elegant. It gains character in the light.
  • Moka Fosco: Enveloping and in motion. Surfaces with nuances that are revealed over time.

When light hits the surface, something changes. That’s pearlescence.

Each finish was designed to coexist with different materials, palettes and architectural styles, offering the designer a versatile resource in high-end lacquers with aesthetic distinction for kitchens , closets and interior design systems.
