Valrenna 2 — Developed in Italy as a next‑generation soft‑touch textile coating · Interpreted & hand‑applied in the UK by Italian Surface Finishes
Tailored suede, repeatable precision. Valrenna 2 is Valpaint’s next‑generation soft‑touch textile wall finish — a water‑based, low‑VOC coating that turns walls into a tailored suede surface. It refines the original Valrenna with smoother handling, higher yield and a codified tinted‑primer step for flawless, repeatable results.
Tactile calm, crafted in Italy. The finish absorbs light like buckskin, replacing gloss with a quiet architectural matte. Brush weaves such as Buckskin and Linen introduce subtle rhythm and depth — a textile presence that photographs beautifully and feels warm to the touch.
A modern binder system and tinted base deliver cleaner, faster, more uniform walls — ideal for high‑spec residential and hospitality projects on tight programmes.
Diffuse matte depth that calms a scheme and sits naturally beside timber, stone, fabrics and metals — no plastic sheen, just composed architectural suede.
Water‑based, breathable, low‑VOC, formaldehyde‑free — crafted in Italy and supported in London by Italian Surface Finishes for UK specification.
“Architectural suede — warm, matte and impeccably composed for modern spaces.”
Italian Surface Finishes × ValpaintDesigners specify Valrenna 2 when they want tactile warmth without gloss. It reads as a textile wall finish rather than paint, bringing soft focus and quiet depth to lighting.
Master suites, living rooms, entrance halls and snug spaces where walls should feel soft, calm and upholstered rather than hard and reflective.
Boutique hotels, hospitality suites and show homes where a controlled suede mood tells a story of comfort and contemporary restraint.
Galleries, calm receptions and flagship retail where product and artwork need a non‑reflective, elegant backdrop with subtle movement.
Valrenna 2 is designed for dry, ventilated interiors. For fully waterproof decorative walls in bathrooms, wet rooms and shower zones, move to continuous systems such as E‑VOLUTION PLUS or I‑BETON PLUS within the Waterproof Artistic Walls family.

Valrenna 2 is always installed as a system. The tinted primer and two Valrenna 2 coats work together to give a consistent suede reading and modern application rhythm.
1. Primer 400 (tinted, 10–20 % dilution) — mandatory tinted primer that anchors tone and
equalises absorption. Apply evenly and allow to dry as per TDS.
2. Valrenna 2 — first coat (10–20 % dilution) — applied with roller / brush to establish
colour and base movement.
3. Valrenna 2 — second coat & weave — a thinner working coat; while workable, refine with
Buckskin or Linen technique to create the suede nap and textile effect.
4. Optional clear protection — only in selected higher‑traffic areas where extra washability is
required; apply lightly to avoid flattening the nap.

A documented material study
The original catalogue identifies this room as Argento 700 + 539 E. Beside it, the genuine specimen shows the fine crossed movement of trowelled silk. The room, close detail and reference each tell a different part of the story.

Screens cannot establish a physical colour match. Confirm colour, texture and sheen with an applied sample in your own light.
