Infinity
arte-international > Wallcovering
Neatly stacked geometric shapes are pieced together like a perfect puzzle and yet this design somehow still succeeds in looking as if it has randomly been arranged. The combination of different planes and the rustic woven grass texture contrasts beautifully with the straight lines.
Rabane
arte-international > Wallcovering
In French 'rabane' refers to a fabric made of natural fibres, usually raffia. In this instance, loosely woven strips of raffia have been sewn together to create an informal pattern. The rough raffia texture is finished with a subtle sheen, adding an interesting contrast.
Esparto Ibérico
arte-international > Wallcovering
Esparto is a strong fibre made from two species of perennial grasses of North Africa, Spain and Portugal. In woven form it is used for all kinds of crafts, to create both decorative and utilitarian objects. In this instance, it inspired a design in which the rounded shapes contrast beautifully with the randomly arranged pattern.
Ecoline
arte-international > Wallcovering
A seemingly arbitrary arrangement of abstract shapes in natural colours gives this pattern an informal vibe. The Ecoline paint adds a unique watercolour effect to the design, which is printed on non-woven.
Rêverie Tropicale
arte-international > Wallcovering
A dreamy panoramic view that takes you to higher realms. Who wouldn't want to spend some time amid the lush foliage of this gorgeous oasis? The detail in this design is impressive, but upon closer inspection the subtle woven grass print in the background suddenly catches the eye, adding a natural accent to the design and the material on which it has been printed.
Verdure
arte-international > Wallcovering
Nobody knows exactly when the first verdures were created, but by the 16th century, these tapestries were everywhere. They were entirely filled with decorative foliage, which was often highlighted by a masterful interplay of sun and dappled shade. Verdure's lush leaf pattern, which draws on these traditional tapestries for inspiration, is hand-painted. Light and shadow planes have been rendered with the greatest care, to create a superb setting with plenty of depth. The painting was then transferred onto a luxury fil-à-fil fabric, just the perfect choice for this opulent ornamental design.
La Prairie
arte-international > Wallcovering
La Prairie is a stunning, realistic representation of woven grass with its broad, irregular bands.
Le Raphia Tissé
arte-international > Wallcovering
This design is a true-to-nature representation of open woven raffia against a coloured background. The colour palette of the background varies from subtle terracotta to striking turquoise, contrasting beautifully with the natural hues of the raffia strands. A wallcovering that retains its calming, natural appeal in every colour variant.
Le Sisal
arte-international > Wallcovering
Sisal was first used widely at the end of the 19th century. Since then, it has become a popular fibre in interior design, including on walls. This design is a natural interpretation of beautifully woven sisal in a warm, calming colour palette.
Platinum
arte-international > Wallcovering
This slightly weathered block pattern looks aged to perfection even with a picture-perfect patina. Matte and luminescent sections cast a warm metallic sheen on this eye-catching wallcovering.
Quilt
arte-international > Wallcovering
Old quilts were the inspiration for this design, in particular the quilt top, which is often made from several pieces of fabric that are randomly sewn together in a pattern. Here the pattern consists of a patchwork of textile swatches that were printed on metal foil and covered with a thin layer of plaster, offering a fleeting glimpse of the fabric beneath.
Alepine
arte-international > Wallcovering
A lovely combination of broad, ripped and aligned strips of textile, which have been covered with a thin layer of plaster. This pattern takes its name from the eponymous super-light silk fabric, Alepine. The design’s distinctive, unconventional look is enhanced by the metal foil.
Chalk Stone
arte-international > Wallcovering
A design that is all about detail and a homage to travertine, a chalk stone used to make sustainable artisan tiles. The Romans used travertine to build large parts of Rome, including the Colosseum. This metallic variant stands out because of its simplicity.
Impasto
arte-international > Wallcovering
This design is named after a centuries-old painting technique, Impasto, whereby the paint is laid on the surface very thickly, with visible brush strokes, enhancing the texture of this wallcovering for a very realistic result. Impasto is printed on metal foil, combining the best of both worlds: a seamless blend of artisanship and an industrial look and feel.
Pentagono
arte-international > Wallcovering
Pentagono has the soft, tactile appeal of luxurious bouclé. The fabric was designed with a graphic pattern of pentagons. This sleek design creates an interesting contrast with the typical casual look of bouclé.
Tintura
arte-international > Wallcovering
This semi-plain product has the pure look and texture of woven linen. The pieces of fabric are arranged casually next to each other and sewn into place with a coarse, clearly visible stitch. The result is a balanced and at the same time lively wallcovering with a textile look and feel.
Stagionato
arte-international > Wallcovering
Discover a classic floral drawing in the design Stagionato, Italian for weathered look. The attractive linen texture is extremely visible in close up; from a little further away, it is mainly the weathered, somewhat faded drawing that stands out.
Tropicali
arte-international > Wallcovering
In this tropical scene, drawn in the Old English style, you will discover exotic plants and birds on a base with a bouclé textile look. The illusion of fine tears in the drawing accentuates the craftsmanship of this design.
Adobe
arte-international > Wallcovering
Adobe plays with various kinds of relief, both in height and depth. The irregular squares and triangles create a playful, geometric and intriguing effect. The design refers to unbaked clay tablets (adobe) that are dried in the sun.
Medjoul
arte-international > Wallcovering
This design has a great deal of relief, due to the technique used and the voluminous material. The pattern is inspired by date palms, a common plant in the Middle East.
Terracotta
arte-international > Wallcovering
The combination of different light panels in tileform creates both a geometric and an earthy design. Thanks to the pronounced relief of the engravings, it is reminiscent of decorative earthenware or ripples in sand.
Between Rivers
arte-international > Wallcovering
This mythical scene is set in the lush nature of Babylonia between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers, the region where arable and livestock farming originated. The imaginative tableau shows elephants, gazelles, date palms and the remains of ancient temples. Original artwork of Frédérique et Rob Whittle – and Max.
Banyan
arte-international > Wallcovering
This panoramic takes its name from the banyan tree, which is commonly found along the Silk Road. It lets you wander through a dreamy fantasy landscape, amid the hidden valleys and summits of the Himalayas. The fact that it has a look of pure silk truly makes the panoramic come to life.
Manali
arte-international > Wallcovering
A timeless representation of the traditional mountain villages of the Himalayas, where Buddhist prayer flags often flutter in the wind. The inhabitants of these inhospitable areas try to attract happiness and prosperity in this way. The design was named after the Himalayan village of Manali, where hundreds of flags set the scene.
Saranda
arte-international > Wallcovering
In this design, you will discover hills and trees under a soft cloudy sky. Drawn in a typical Asian style, it was named after the Saranda forest in India. A highly appropriate name, as Saranda literally means ‘seven hundred hills’.
Katan Silk
arte-international > Wallcovering
An incredibly detailed impression of Katan Silk, a very light, luxurious type of silk. The minor irregularities that are typical of this fabric are also found here.
Zerzura
arte-international > Wallcovering
The legend of Zerzura tells the story of a fertile oasis in the desert west of the Nile, of which its existence was never proven. This mythical scene is brought beautifully to life on a velvet background.
Moire
arte-international > Wallcovering
Blinding rays of sun on water and desert sand result in wavy, hypnotic designs and create a moiré effect on the glossy fabric. The motifs are completely random, making each wallcovering unique.
Bayuda
arte-international > Wallcovering
The ochre sandbanks in the Sudanese Bayuda Desert are dotted with rocks. Here, gold prospectors tried their luck in the shallow mines. The whimsical lines combined with the sparkling gold in this pattern are clear references to their source of inspiration.
Gobi
arte-international > Wallcovering
As soon as night falls, millions of stars appear in the clear sky of the Gobi Desert, one of the coldest deserts in the world. The comparison with a magnificent starry sky is unmistakable. The contrast of the glittering dots with the deep or soft colours literally elevates this pattern to higher spheres.
