Curious matter

With a touch that one would describe as between silk and sand, curious matter offers a unique tactile experience: you’ll feel its roughness at the first encounter and later a light velvety effect. And whether you use one of its 5 tints or go for solid-colour print on the white shade, its haptics will remain uncompromised after printing.
