What Inkiostro Bianco does

Inkiostro Bianco is an Italian design and manufacturing company, legally operated as Pluricom S.r.l. Unipersonale, headquartered in Fiorano Modenese within the Modena ceramic district. Founded in 2012 and employing 11–50 people, the company designs and produces customized wallcoverings, rugs, wood paneling, and parquet flooring for interior design applications. Its core technology is digital printing applied across multiple material substrates, enabling on-demand customization of graphics to surface dimensions at a standard height of up to 3 meters.

The product portfolio spans vinyl, fiberglass (EQ·dekor, including outdoor-rated variants), rayon/silk-touch textiles, natural-fiber "Raw" substrates, backlit textiles (Tela system), metal foil (Goldenwall), multilayer birch wood coverings (lineadeko®), engraved oak parquet (Undici), and printed rugs/moquettes (INK.RUGS). Catalog breadth is supported by seasonal collections such as Inediti (50 graphics, 131 color options) and SKETCHBOOK (26 graphics, 72 colors), plus Special Edition collaborations with internationally recognized artists including Gio Bressana, Karen Knorr, Ken Scott, and Enrico Borsani Colussi.

The business model is direct sales of custom-manufactured products, priced on a quote basis (no public pricing) and distributed through a hybrid B2B/B2C channel: a physical Design City showroom in Fiorano Modenese, an e-commerce-enabled multilingual website with registered-user features (favorites, HD downloads, quote requests), and direct engagement with professional architects, interior designers, contractors, and end consumers. Customer segments include hospitality (hotels, restaurants — e.g., Hotel La Gemma, Löwengrube, Aspro Montichiari by Paalko), residential, retail, and contract projects. The company is privately held with no disclosed external capital, no parent entity, no funding rounds, and no M&A activity.
