Novacolor Opens at Residium – A Celebration of Texture and Colour
We’re thrilled to welcome Novacolor New Zealand to Residium, with a stunning new showroom designed by the team at Material Creative and hand plastered by the Novacolor NZ Team.
Nestled within Residium Design + Building Centre, this thoughtfully curated space showcases two of the world’s most innovative surface brands: Novacolor and CEMHER®. Known internationally for their rich colours, tactile finishes and bold aesthetic, these products are beloved by architects and interior designers seeking something truly distinctive.
Novacolor’s artisan finishes bring walls to life with sophisticated texture, depth and emotion. From velvety lime-based plasters like Marmorino KS to the gold, silver or bronze highlights of Teodorico, Novacolor's Italian-crafted products blur the boundaries between surface finish and fine art. Alongside this sits CEMHER®, a next-generation microcement ideal for seamless, contemporary surfaces in bathrooms, floors, benchtops, and more.
The new showroom is designed as both a sensory and practical experience. A dedicated sample wall allows visitors to take home real, hand-crafted samples. This a welcome feature for designers and homeowners working through the material selection process. The space highlights how these finishes can be used not just for feature walls, but for entire environments - from bathrooms and fireplaces to retail spaces and high-end hospitality interiors.
Novacolor New Zealand represents a commitment to eco-conscious luxury, with products made using sustainable lime and mineral bases, low VOC formulations, and timeless durability. They’re also a family owned business and their reputation in the market is second to none.
Whether you're looking to create a raw, sculptural backdrop or a shimmering, softly burnished wall, Novacolor’s showroom is a must-visit for anyone with an eye for colour, materiality, and detail. The Novacolor team have an extensive network of applicators New Zealand wide who can assist you with your project, or if you want to learn how to apply Novacolor finishes like a pro, they also offer applicator training at their HQ in Tauranga.
Visit the Novacolor showroom at Residium – open 7 days a week at 165 The Strand, Parnell.
