Project Spotlight: Fudi Ludao Residence in Sanya, Hainan
MARMO’s award-winning qualities were showcased in a luxury villa designed by Wang Xiaofeng in Sanya. The project drew inspiration from Italian craftsmanship, using MARMO to replicate the patina of aged European walls. The coating’s organic texture complemented leather accents and sculptural elements, creating a harmonious blend of coastal serenity and rustic sophistication.
