Pardais
SKU0022
Pardais is a Portuguese classic that sits perfectly between beige and grey, with bold, web-like veining that adds structure without pushing the space into high contrast. It’s a “feature neutral”: warm enough to pair with oak and brass, balanced enough for modern palettes, and expressive enough to look designed even on simple geometries.
