MINERALS 12 China Clay by John Pawson

A robust white with grounded, earthy undertones and the soft, powdery character of china clay. A faint touch of pink brings gentle warmth, while the mineral texture adds depth and a quiet, tactile presence to the surface.

Our MINERALS samples are available exclusively in 80 ml pots. This format is intentional: it allows you to test the colour properly while also experiencing the soft, organic texture that defines mineral paint. Because MINERALS is tactile and natural by nature, it responds to application and light, making real-life testing essential. Testing a small area on your own wall is the best way to understand both the tone and the surface quality. If you have specific wishes regarding the sample, please reach out to us.

John Pawson's MINERALS brings together thirteen subtly distinct whites and light tones developed from Pawson’s Whitescale palette for Blēo. Formulated as natural, mineral-based paints, the collection introduces quiet depth, tactility and a softly textured dead-matte finish to architectural interiors.

Each shade reflects a different facet of Pawson’s approach to reduction, material clarity and atmosphere — some cool and crystalline, others warm and earthy; some recalling stone, linen or plaster, others gently luminous. Together they create a restrained, harmonious spectrum shaped by shifting light, resulting in surfaces that feel calm, elemental and quietly present.

Pawson’s original Whitescale colours pair seamlessly with the MINERALS collection, allowing textured walls to sit naturally alongside painted ceilings, window frames, timber details or cabinetry in matching tones. The result is a unified, fluid and confidently understated interior expression.

Our MINERALS samples are available exclusively in 80 ml pots, intentionally chosen to allow you to test both colour and texture directly on your wall. Mineral paint behaves uniquely — the finish depends on application and light — and we believe this hands-on approach gives the truest impression of the final result.

Coverage varies depending on your application technique, but as a guide:

— 3 litres cover approximately 20–30 m² per coat. Two coats are recommended for full depth, texture finish and consistency
— Rough, absorbent or textured surfaces may require more
— Multiple thin coats add depth and movement — allow for additional product if layering.

How to apply MINERALS

MINERALS is a decorative mineral-based paint for dry interior walls and ceilings. Its final appearance is defined by your method of application — the movement of the brush, the layering, the flow of the stroke or a roller, all shape the organic, tactile texture.

Preparation

Ensure surfaces are dry, clean and free from dust.
A suitable primer or basecoat is recommended on new plaster or darker backgrounds.
Stir thoroughly before application.

Application

Apply using a wide brush in soft, overlapping strokes.
Work steadily and in manageable sections to maintain consistency.
For more depth or movement, apply additional thin layers once the first coat is dry.
Avoid rollers if you want a nuanced mineral texture, but use a roller if you want a dead-flat mineral surface.

Drying Times

Touch-dry after approx. 1–2 hours.
Fully dry after 12 hours, depending on conditions.

The result is a velvety, dead-matte surface with subtle tonal variation and quiet texture that shifts softly with light. If you need guidance for a specific project, our team is here to help.
