Alfonso Verduzco™ x WVH® Reflejo ALMA Collection

ALMA is inspired by materials that have shaped spaces and culture for generations: lava stone, copper, obsidian, and hand-worked wood. These elements carry history, resilience, and craftsmanship within them.

Rather than replicating tradition, the collection reinterprets this material heritage through a contemporary architectural lens. The inspiration is not decorative; it is structural, emotional, and rooted in the idea that materials hold memory.

ALMA transforms that memory into modern design, creating surfaces that feel grounded, intentional, and deeply connected to place.

ALMA is for anyone who believes that spaces should feel intentional and meaningful. It is designed for architects, designers, developers, and homeowners who value material integrity, thoughtful design, and emotional depth. Whether the project is a private residence, a hospitality space, or a commercial environment, the collection adapts to different scales while maintaining its architectural presence.

ALMA is not defined by budget or size. It is defined by intention. It is for those who want their spaces to tell a story and feel connected to something authentic and enduring.

The ALMA collection is available exclusively through WVH. You can order via our website or by contacting our sales team.

A range of natural materials is used in the ALMA collection. ALMA incorporates materials that have carried cultural and architectural significance for generations. These include lava stone, copper, obsidian, natural wood veneers, solid wood and other natural stones.

Each material is selected not only for its visual beauty, but for its texture, depth, and ability to interact with light. They are used in a contemporary architectural way, allowing their natural character to remain visible and honest.

Sagrado features solid larch wood squares that have been charred using the traditional Shou Sugi Ban technique, enhancing the natural grain whilst creating a deep, textured black surface. Solid copper elements are embedded within the natural composition, introducing warmth and contrast against the charred wood and developing a subtle, natural patina over time.

Sendero combined natural black ash wood veneer with solid black lava stone inserts. Formed from cooled volcanic rock, lava stone is valued for its strength, texture, and connection to the landscapes where it naturally occurs. In this panel, the stone elements are integrated into the composition to echo the rhythm of historic stone pathways, translating that material presence into a contemporary architectural surface that brings depth and movement to the wall.

Reflejo pairs engineered grey maple wood veneer with inlays of natural volcanic obsidian. Obsidian is a natural volcanic glass formed when molten lava cools rapidly, giving it its distinctive deep black colour and reflective surface. In this panel, the obsidian elements introduce moments of light and reflection within the linear wood composition, creating a subtle contrast between texture, depth and luminosity across the wall.

In the ALMA collection, materials are not decorative accents. They are the foundation of the design, and chosen with care.

The panels in the ALMA collection will arrive boxed. If more than one pack is ordered, there will be multiple boxes, and they may not all arrive on the same day.

ALMA panels are designed as modular systems that allow flexibility in layout while maintaining a clear design intention. You can style them in your space in any way you prefer, however below is some guidance on how the panels can be laid out.

SENDERO: includes Panel A and Panel B. These can be alternated to create either a consistent, repeating rhythm or a more dynamic, organic composition, depending on how the panels are arranged across the wall.

SAGRADO: composed of four square variations, Panels A, B, C, and D. Each panel features copper elements placed in different positions. A standard box includes five panels (A, B, C, D, A), allowing for balanced repetition while still creating subtle variation across the installation.

REFLEJO: includes Panel A and Panel B, designed to be installed in a continuous A-B-A-B sequence. This maintains the intended linear flow and ensures the rhythm of the slats and obsidian inlays remains seamless across the surface.

All panels are engineered for straightforward installation and can be applied across full feature walls or smaller accent areas, depending on the scale of the project.

The panels have been designed to be easy to install and cut down as required. To cut through the felt, we recommend using a sharp utility knife. We recommend scoring the surface of the felt a few times to allow for a cleaner cut. To cut through the wooden slats, we recommend a sharp, fine-toothed blade. To reduce splintering, use masking tape.

The Sagrado and Reflejo panels have been designed to have the Lava Stone and Obsidian near the middle of the panel, reducing the risk of having to cut through the designs to accommodate outlets or a shorter wall height. However, if you do need to cut through them, we recommend using a specialised diamond continuous rim blade for a smooth cut.

Over time, the copper coins on the Sagrado panel will change colour and patina. This is completely normal, and part of the panel design: it shows the beauty in passing time, and the material's natural reaction to its environment. If you do not want the coins to patina, we recommend applying a UV finish that's suitable for metal onto them. This will require regular maintenance per the UV finish's instructions.

The panels are easy to clean and maintain. A dry dusting will be fine for day-to-day maintenance, as will using a vacuum/hoover with a soft bristle attachment. For stains and marks, use a microfibre cloth with a mild soap. Before using the soap on the lava stone and obsidian, we strongly recommend a patch test, to ensure there are no reactions to the natural materials. For the obsidian glass, a small amount of glass cleaner may be used to achieve a streak-free finish.

The panels do not come with an oiled finish, but can be treated post-purchase if desired for extra protection. For the Sagrado, the copper coins will patina over time - this is completely normal. If you would like to prevent the colour change, we recommend using a UV finish on the coins to assist with this.

Our warehouse and display area in Leighton Buzzard, Bedfordshire is open for visits by appointment. Contact us to arrange a time so we can have the right products and samples ready for you to see in person.

Yes. Samples are available across most product ranges so you can see and feel the real material before committing. Acoustic panel, wood veneer, and cork tile samples can all be ordered. Check individual product pages for availability.
