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.
Artisan
This collection is an ode to high-quality, traditional craftsmanship. The wallcovering is made of pure, natural materials, from minerals and grasses to tropical plants. Experienced artisans pleat, weave and dye with boundless passion and patience. They turn these materials by hand into beautiful, unique wallcoverings.
Bandeau
Large sheets with mica flakes* are hand-dyed for this pattern. Then rectangles are stamped out of them with the utmost care. These shapes are then glued by hand into the pattern, so that they impart a beautiful yet not too rigid effect. For some wallcoverings, we use mica in a single colour, while in others we combine three colours in a random pattern.
