Mica accents, two-story foyer
Hyacinth weave on a two-story foyer wall. Single dye lot, hand-installed by the project's specialty crew.
MC-14's hyacinth colorway is a tinted mica — the mineral flakes are color-treated to a pale purple-grey that reads as neutral in daylight but shifts toward lavender under incandescent light in the evening. For a two-story foyer, the color change across daylight hours gives the wall a presence that a static paint color cannot achieve. The homeowner described it as a wall that changes with the light rather than sitting static.
A two-story foyer wall presents an installation access challenge: the upper sections require staging that is slower and more careful than ground-level work. The specialty crew used a rolling scaffold rather than ladders, which allowed them to hang full-height drops without interruption. Mica wallcovering at full ceiling height in a double-height space has significant visual impact — the scale of the continuous mineral surface reads as architectural rather than decorative.
Single dye lot specification was important here because the foyer wall is visible simultaneously from the entry level and the upper landing. Any batch variation between the lower and upper sections would be immediately visible from the landing view. We produced the full 50 m² in one production run and shipped with a batch certificate. The installer confirmed lot consistency before hanging any material.
