The Japanese philosophy wabi-sabi consists of seven different principles that combine to create the same tranquility and serenity in the home as nature knows it. One of these principles is “kanso” and stands for simplicity and minimalism, for purity and the essence. Arte bottles the same tradition in the Kanso collection, in various wall coverings that also have a luxurious feel due to their pronounced relief, soft velvet textiles, simple geometric patterns and popping colors. Dive into wabi-sabi, embrace the beauty of the everyday and give your interior (and walls) an elegant, colorful layer.
Tangible change
Like nature, interior design is a perpetual transformation. Different seasons come and go, trends flare up and quickly recede. The Japanese term “anicca” stands for being changeable by nature, and Arte embodies this in the wallcovering of the same name. This is precisely why the diagonal lines in the design are formed unevenly and varying in thickness. The visual dynamics created are additionally accentuated by the pronounced relief and additional 3D effect. Finally, the soft velvet texture makes the Anicca upholstery irresistible.
Anicca is available in five color variations.
All-in-one-line-play
In the Iki design, Arte brings its own interpretation of “iki. A concept that has many meanings, something that cannot be summed up in one word. It embraces a world of sophistication, elegance, simplicity and a deep appreciation for the splendor of the everyday. In the wall covering, diagonal lines form a unique herringbone pattern. The distance between the ripples is uneven, creating a movable and, above all, artful effect on the wall. Here, too, Arte plays with 3D texture and the caressability of velvet. The result is an elegant upholstery that is an almost perfect representation of the all-encompassing “iki.”
In any direction
The Shibumi wallcovering was inspired by the eponymous interior tradition of simplicity and refined complexity while eschewing excess. The result is a design where the visual experience does not bore: the diagonal strips on the design are perpendicular to each other for captivating movement without sacrificing order and structure. Finally, although the embossed pattern and cuddly top layer add a luxurious touch to the upholstery, the whole remains controlled and calm – ‘Shibumi’ at its best.
Shibumi is available in five color variations.
Beauty found
The term “yugen” symbolizes the mysterious in Japanese beauty philosophy. It represents finding hidden beauty in everyday life, in things you would not expect. Yugen wallcoverings from the Kanso collection enrich your interior with the essence of the term and are finished with narrow rectangles and an uneven relief, as if you were incorporating shiny subway tiles into your living space. The same finishes peculiar to the collection once again steal the show.
Yugen is available in five color variations.
