Zea

A dialogue between sea and space

Zea is the result of a unique collaboration between British artist Jan Erika and Orac. What began as sketches and fluid thoughts evolved into a tangible architectural artwork.

Over the course of more than a year, Jan Erika worked closely with our development teams to bring this design to life. The result is a 3D wall panel that seamlessly connects art and architecture.

“Zea is not just a decorative element. It’s a surface that breathes. A canvas that moves. A reflection of something greater than itself.” 

- Jan Erika

The inspiration: the tides of three seas

Zea’s design language finds its origin in the Aegean, Ionian and Mediterranean Seas. Three historic waters where movement is constant and change is the only certainty.

Zea embodies the invisible play of underwater currents, the shimmer of sunlight on the horizon, and the shadows that dance with drifting clouds. Its sculptural contours respond poetically to light, revealing a new expression each time: sometimes calm and serene, sometimes wild and powerful.

Like the sea, Zea is never static. The panel invites the space to move with it, to enter into its own dialogue.

About Jan Erika

Known for her expressive paintings and monumental murals, Jan Erika brings her dynamic visual language into a new dimension with Zea for the first time in a tactile, architectural form.

“It’s an emotional piece,” she explains. “There’s calm in the flowing movements, but also tension. Quiet undercurrents that pull you in. The panel doesn’t dominate; it invites conversation”

With Zea, Jan Erika adds a new chapter to her oeuvre: a work of art that blurs the line between interior design and visual art.

A gentle wave with powerful impact

Zea brings a tangible sense of layering into a space. Its organic relief gives walls a sculptural character, adding depth and refinement without overwhelming. More than just wall covering, the panel becomes an artistic eye-catcher that brings personality and intensity to an interior.

Thanks to its paintable finish, Zea can be perfectly adapted to the chosen atmosphere: subtle tone-on-tone for a serene look, or a bold accent colour for a more powerful gesture. Its versatility allows Zea to integrate effortlessly into a wide range of settings, from private homes to hotels and public spaces.
