Product Information :
Every year, an in-house team of experienced designers creates several new collections. All of these new products must be innovative and trendsetting, while also being of superior quality. A lot of time and effort goes into research: Arte is constantly looking for new production methods and quality materials. That explains why designing a new collection can easily take more than a year.
About half of the products are manufactured in-house through environmentally-friendly processes. A smaller number of wallcoverings are produced by external partners who apply the same quality and sustainability norms.
Arte keeps a permanent stock in the headquarters in Zonhoven, Belgium. The company has corporate showrooms in Paris, Culemborg (The Netherlands), London and LA.
Arte’s specialty wallcovering is a very wide collection including more than 350 designs and 2,500 references. The broad variety of materials, designs and colours stirs everyone’s imagination. Arte Contract is a wallcovering line especially developed for the contract market. This luxurious and extremely durable vinyl meets the most stringent technical requirements, such as fire resistance, shock resistance and washability.
The well-thought-out designs – sometimes exuberant, sometimes modest – transform Arte’s wallcovering into a versatile element of atmosphere both for residential applications and public and hospitality purposes.
Design & Research
Arte is constantly looking for innovative production methods and first-rate, surprising materials without losing sight of the trends.
Marqueterie
The natural product sisal, a hardwearing fibre from the agave plant, forms the basis of the Marqueterie collection. The natural woven pieces are cut and arranged by hand in different patterns. The traditional marquetery or inlay reveals striking geometric figures. Both the different direction of the weave and the colours create an unusual depth and texture to this 100% hand-made wallcovering. Depending on the incidence of light and the viewing position, a subtle sheen will become apparent.
Detour
Detour is a playful, geometric design. The maze pattern and double direction of the sisal weave create a 3D effect. The three colours used enhance this result.
