Sfumatura Scenes: Hollywood Beginnings: Falling in Love

Who doesn't like a story about star-crossed lovers? This New York-centric story is filled with iconic scenes of the Metro North Hudson train line, and New York City scenery. It surrounds a mix-up in the Rizzoli's bookstore (those used to exist and have a lively trade too!). Meryl Strep and Robert DeNiro star in this now mostly forgotten film while receiving 58% on Rotten Tomatoes. Donald Southern's work on the scenic design helps set the stage for this unlikely story.

Sfumatura Scenes: Hollywood Beginnings: "The Muppets Take Manhattan"

Making Fosse Bear look good is different than working with Bob Fosse! This 1984 classic film puts Miss Piggy, Kermit and the whole cast of characters right in the center of "everything." Donald Southern was assigned scenic design for live cast members and the Muppets. The irrepressible spirit of the" Muppets Take Manhattan" was the first film directed by Frank Oz who later went on to direct films like "Dirty Rotten Scoundrels," 'What About Bob?", and the remake of "The Stepf

Sfumatura is a Feeling...

Sfumatura is a feeling; it’s a way of seeing. Sfumatura sets a tone; it embellishes a space without overtaking the designer’s intent. Sfumatura is a unique decorative textile, an artful wall covering remeniscent of Venitian plaster or a faux paint technique. Sfumatura sets the scene. Sfumatura can play a prominent role in a setting that is meant to be traditional, classic. It can also star in a contemporary, modern setting. Over 25 years ago, Creative Director Cliff Schor

Hollywood Beginnings: For the Love of Ivy

Scenic artistry runs in Donald Southern's family. His father worked "in the pictures" as Donald likes to say. Donald's natural choice was to follow the lead into a career in the movies. The first film that Donald worked on stared Sydney Poitier and Abbey Lincoln and the music was scored by Quincy Jones. Not bad company for his first job. "For the Love of Ivy" garnered Abbey Lincoln a nomination for a Golden Globe award for her performance. #sfumatura #hollywoodstories #w

Pietra is a Technique You Should Learn

This is Sfumatura’s famed faux-stone collection; we cut our Lirica and Profunda colors into rectangles reminiscent of cut stones or tiles. Pietra blocks are applied directly to the wall, and the blocks are spaced in a manner to allow the basic color of the wall to appear as grout or mortar. Pietra can be used in combination with any Lirica and/or Profunda color to furnish an entire interior. We paint our Pietra projects with more contrast and character than we paint our sheet

Our Profunda Line is Inspired by Depth

The colors in Sfumatura’s Profunda line are deep, intimate, intense. They are pigment-rich textiles that are meant to make a statement. Use Profunda for specific accent walls or to turn “anomalies” into special places. A variety of boldly-inspired Profunda hues allow designers to choose palette-clarifying direction for a room, an entire home, or an important commercial space. #Sfumatura #beautifulwallcoverings #profunda #interiordesign #decorator #decoration #homedecor #susta

Our Lirica Line is Inspired By Nature

Sfumatura’s Lirica line is inspired by nature’s neutrals; it features the kinds of pastel colors that create a quiet and reflective space. Lirica tints allow design professionals to place unique design elements in the foreground of a room while giving a foundational tone that holds the designer’s intent in repose. #Sfumatura #beautifulwallcoverings #interiordesign #interiordesigner #homedecor #decorator #sustainablehome #sustainablehomedecor #wallcoverings #wallpaper #pillow
