Olivier, a former paint chemist, began his career at early age in France, and comes from a family with generations of artisans who have produced and installed decorative finishes across Europe. Olivier is exceptionally talented with paint and plaster, and worked with an impressive list of clients around the globe. Together, Burcu and Olivier founded Color Atelier and meticulously developed each product, driven by a shared commitment to offering the highest-quality architectural finishes made in the United States. Burcu, with a background in business and a trained eye for interiors and color, shapes the brand's creative direction and leads all marketing and communication efforts.
At Color Atelier, we believe in the beauty and power of pure, honest, and authentic materials, and techniques. Our line is a small batch paint and plaster available in a curated palette of colors each with hand-crafted depth and texture. We have invested in the finest ingredients, and practiced traditional European techniques to create these natural and timeless architectural finishes. Our finishes bring an unparalleled distinction to surfaces via old world methods designed for today’s modern aesthetics and health criteria. We produce some of the most environmentally friendly paints and plasters available anywhere in the world today out of our facilities in California. Our paints and plasters are made with lime, clay, marble powder, sand, and mineral pigments, just 20 miles outside of our San Francisco showroom. Our local supply chain and distribution channels in New York, and California have the lowest possible environmental impact. These beautiful and durable finishes are earth friendly in production and application.
Our mission is to help people to rediscover the beauty of natural paints and plasters by creating products that respect and sustain our natural world. When you support Color Atelier, you're supporting the very real people that made or shipped or photographed that product.
So thank you for making it all possible.
