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.
Eri turns every wall into a unique object. Pure luxury. Inspired by open weave silk and applied on a base of delicate high-gloss foil. The warm glow of the precious metal shines through the fine mesh of the fabric, for a more pronounced and exclusive look.
This design is inspired by finely woven grasses, which are cut and inlaid by hand. Bounty is an abstract, geometric representation of lush palm leaves that seem to be reaching higher and higher.
This colourful, tropical drawing with a vertical fil-à-fil technique is inspired by the Chinese lantern plant (Physalis). The pattern and use of colour are influenced by African wax fabrics, in the now omnipresent typical African prints.
A spectacular camouflage design inspired by a herd of zebras like those you see on the African steppe. You can even discover hidden zebra heads here and there in the abstract lines of the zebra’s skin.
An exuberant botanical design of tropical leaves with the feel of a hand-painted wallcovering. Printed in vibrant colours on a fil-à-fil jute. These give the wall unprecedented depth and an especially natural aspect.
Overlapping O’s, created of wood veneer marquetry inlay, resemble the rolling waves of the ocean. The unique wallcovering’s ancient Seigaiha pattern symbolising waves of water represents good luck, power, and resilience.
The soft metallic lustre of this metal foil creates a unique light reflection. This makes the design look different from various angles and creates a dynamic atmosphere. The authentic metal look creates the effect of impressive metal panels.
With Matrix on your wall, you will imagine yourself in oriental atmospheres. This design gives you a simple way to create the look of wall tiles in your home. In combination with the shiny relief ink, this pattern is given a very realistic tile structure.
Insignia combines the botanical trend with geometry in a modern manner. By working with structures and forms you can bring nature into your home in a distinctive and playful way.
The floating bamboo leaves give the Bambou pattern a delicate touch. Have you ever travelled to Thailand, Vietnam or China? Then this print will take you back to those exotic locations. Bambou is a little bit different to the other patterns because the wallpaper is finished with a hint of flock and metallic ink.
The recurrent pattern of Domus has been printed with a satin coating. This finish imbues the finished paper with a superb sheen and creates the subtle illusion of relief.
3D wallcovering with a satin look and a pattern resembling the pectoral fins of the Flying Coral Fish, shaped like delicate, thin and translucent wings.
East and West, a synthesis archieved through Italian taste. «My work often takes me to far-off lands, also remote in terms of their culture and traditions. Even without my being aware of it, I then metabolise these traditions and include them in the designs I subsequently produce.» Matteo Nunziati <p>"It is the architect's task to create a warm, livable space. Carpets are warm and livable. He decides for this reason to spread one carpet on the floor and to hang up four to form the four walls. But you cannot build a house out of carpets. Both the carpet and the floor and the tapestry on the wall required structural frame to hold them in the correct place. To invent this frame is the architect's second task."When Adolf Loos wrote his revolutionary essay on the "principle of cladding" in 1898, architecture was just entering the modern age. Building meant imagining structures capable of putting together different materials, but, Loos affirmed, it must also respect their individual characteristics. "Every material possesses a formal language which belongs to it alone and no material can take on the forms proper to another", the Austrian master therefore maintained. And there is no doubt that the spirit of these words extended throughout most Twentieth Century architecture, regardless of its location or style. When we look at Matteo Nunziati's designs for the CEDIT Tesori collection, we seem to be seeing geometrical purity and attention to detail at the service of a new "truth" of material. Because Matteo Nunziati views ceramics as a form of fabric.<br /> The woven patterns he imagines for the various styles in his collection "“ from Arabian to damask to more geometrical motifs "“ constantly seek to provide the soft, iridescent look of time-worn linen. In them, ceramics are raised from the status of poor relation of marble to become a luxury wall covering in their own right: almost a wallpaper, suitable however for both floors and walls, and an absolutely versatile material. No longer only for beautifying bathrooms, they can create new moods in every room of the house (and elsewhere) starting from the living-room. Naturally, the revolution has been mainly technological. The large slabs produced by CEDIT are more than 3 metres tall, and since they eliminate the serial repetition typical of conventional tiles, they generate a new relationship between the surface and its decoration. However, Nunziati does not use this to create, artist-like, a more eye-catching decorative composition that emphasises the slab's dimensions. Quite the opposite; the patterns he offers us attempt to break down what is left of the boundaries between substrates. In particular, the Arabian and damask styles, in the version with "timeworn" patterning, convey the idea of the ceramic slab as an abstract, almost non-existent material which melts into the decorative motif applied to it, in a kind of pure wall covering.<br /> Through the patient selection of geometrical motifs and tests to verify their suitability for application to ceramic slabs, Nunziati aims to achieve a new material rather than a mere decoration, making this clear by also exploring its tactile dimension, with gouged and relief motifs. His "principle of coverings" therefore relates to ceramics' essence rather than their image: highlighting the versatility which, as we all know, has made ceramics an absolute material, a kind of cement that incorporates structure and finish in a virtually infinite range of applications. This is clearly indicated by the reference to the mashrabiya, a term meaning place where people drink in Arabic, which in Arabian architecture originally referred to the kind of veranda where people used to meet and rest, and over time has come to mean the wooden gratings that screened these places from the sun. Inspired by his trips to the Middle East, for Nunziati the geometric patterns of the mashrabiya become both an outline of his method of work and the form of what in fact becomes the key element in a new idea of space: a real location conceived around a strong, livable surface in which physical substance and decoration overlap to the point where they merge.</p>
