Bio Paint

St. Leo Bio Paint is a truly ecological alternative to standard acrylic-based paints. Tinted exclusively with premium mineral pigments, Bio Paint cures to a chalky matte finish revealing exceptionally authentic colors with depth and character.

To create the first collection of 33 Bio Paint colours, St. Leo collaborated with Danish gallerist and interior curator, Tina Seidenfaden Busck. Known for her joyful juxtaposition of printed textiles, treasured objets d’art and eclectic paintings set against colourful walls, Busck’s approach to utilising colour is vibrant and pioneering.

Lime Paint

St. Leo Lime Paint is a pure, mineral-based paint crafted from lime, water, and mineral colour pigments.

Created in collaboration with Jonas Bjerre-Poulsen of Norm Architects, each of the 12 muted hues are inspired by the coastal landscape of North Zealand, Denmark, to inspire calm and stillness.

With its minimal environmental footprint and refined mineral finish, Lime Paint brings a quiet, earthy sophistication to any room. Its finish evolves subtly over time, offering a timeless, grounded aesthetic that enhances the character and atmosphere of the space.
