Arte's Totem wallcoverings collection inspired by modern, abstract sculptures.
Tall. Taller. Tallest. Geometric shapes that have randomly been arranged, to create ever taller stacks.
In many ways, these eye-catching designs resemble modern, abstract sculptures. They are reminiscent even of traditional art from around the world, striking a pleasantly balanced note in any interior, thanks to the natural look of textile, woven grass and raffia.
Ecoline
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.
Ecoline is available in 3 colourways.
Esparto Ibérico
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 this design in which interlocking arches create layers of randomly repeating patterns.
Esparto Ibérico is available in 8 colourways.
Rabane
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.
Rabane is available in 5 colourways.
Esparto Africano
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 this design in which geometric shapes create a wonderfully random flow.
Esparto Africano is available in 8 colourways.
Infinity
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.
Infinity is available in 8 colourways.
Le Papier Tissé
This design is inspired by woven paper. The fine structure of the paper strips shows the natural fibres and results in a play of slight colour nuances.
Le Papier Tissé is available in 8 colourways.
