The Houston based Iarussi has made a name for himself creating historically true and astonishingly detailed wall finishes using authentic colors, textures and applications. But don’t call him a faux finisher. “I’m no different than any other painter, says Iarussi, “I just happen to use a different medium.” - LUXE Magazine

OUR LEGACY
Iarussi Studio is built on a foundation of traditional plaster craftsmanship and a commitment to advancing surface design for contemporary spaces.
Our work is rooted in decades of hands-on experience with plaster — understanding its chemistry, application, and long-term performance. This technical foundation allows us to create finishes that are not only visually compelling, but durable, intentional, and responsive to light and space.
We honor historic plaster techniques while continuously refining our materials and processes. All of our finishes are developed in-house, allowing us to customize color, movement, and sheen to suit each project rather than relying on fixed formulas.
As design continues to move toward organic materials and tactile surfaces, our focus is on translating plaster’s timeless qualities into modern applications. The same color can read differently depending on the finish, application, and light — a principle that guides how we design every surface.
Iarussi Studio is led by a new generation committed to preserving the integrity of the craft while pushing it forward. We collaborate with designers, builders, and architects who value thoughtful materiality, clear process, and long-term performance.
Plaster isn’t going anywhere.
It’s evolving — and so are we.
