Orris / Iris

Orris Concrete 15% Irone

Original designation: Iris beurre CTE 15 %

Iris spp.

Orris concrete is the plush, waxen register of iris: violet petals, warm skin, carrot-root earth and pale wood held in a slow, powdery halo. Higher declared irone levels indicate a more iris-focused grade, but the exact balance remains individual to the material.
