Mario Romano Fins
Adding another dimension for wall cladding, Mario Romano in Fins allow for the selected design to be created into long linear panels that are mechanically fixed in place. Each panel with its distinctive design sits above the preceding panel with a small overlap. Flowing across the wall and connecting panel to panel Fins offer another element to apply 3-dimensional design to.
