Metropolis Showroom opens doors in London
Metropolis has opened the doors of its contemporary new home in London’s trend setting Wigmore Street in the heart of the West End.
Metropolis, the interior paints, resin and polished plaster division of Aliva UK, will be displaying its full stunning range of fine finishes which include an array of highly adaptable polished plaster, textured effects, pearlescent paint and decorative resins for floors and walls.



Metropolis is becoming increasingly popular with top designers and has already been used to enhance the interiors of a number of high-end residential projects in and around central London.
Metropolis has also designed and manufactured solutions that have enabled designers to re-imagine interiors for some of the world’s most desirable top brands such as Fendi, Fred Perry, Adidas and the Cambridge Satchel Company.
The design of the showroom reflects the creativity and imagination of the Metropolis range and features the Berlin design from its Urban Effects range and Old Time Max from the Colours Range.
Urban Effects are Metropolis’ state-of-the-art 3D textured wall finishes, where subtle colours are mixed in dense and artistic acrylic-siloxane resin textured coatings. These have the added practical benefits of being water repellent, washable and breathable.



Spanning the spectrum, Metropolis’ Colours are a carefully crafted collection that enhance the appearance of walls and give interiors a whole new dimension. Colours and Urban Effects complement each other perfectly, resulting in a stunning and unique impact.
A range of highly decorative resins complete the Metropolis range. These give an extraordinarily fine finish to walls and floors and are perfect for a host of stylish and sophisticated interior projects.
They offer textured, veined, multi-chromatic, shiny, pearlescent, transparent, polished and matt surfaces.
The new showroom is located amongst top interior design and quality home product showrooms at 83/85 Wigmore Street W1U 1DL, close to bustling Oxford Street and the famous Selfridges department store.
The Metropolis range will be tastefully displayed throughout the showroom, with colour swatches available to demonstrate the huge variety of styles, finishes and colours available.



Tom Kitchener, of Aliva UK, said: “With effects from polished marble and washed cement to shiny metal and rich Venetian stucco, Metropolis is designed to transform any space, giving edgy, luxury and breath-taking finishes. This perfectly located showroom will give interior designers and other customers a tactile opportunity to see and touch and generally soak in the full range of tones and finishes to enable them to make considered choices to enhance their designs.”
Backed by six decades of Italian flair from its parent company, Aliva UK designs, manufactures and supplies bespoke façades, rain screen cladding, insulated render and render only systems, paints, and polished plaster.
