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.
Intrigue
The Intrigue collection is the result of a new process that we call thermoforming. As the word might suggest, heat is used to press a design into the fabric. By heating the fabric it acquires a luxurious satin sheen that reflects the light. It is fascinating to see and irresistible to touch. You also obtain a beguiling interplay of smooth and relief, light and dark, sheen and matte areas.
Three-dimensional
This collection features three different designs. The first print, Rosace, is a more graphic design with regular triangles, three-dimensional of course. This produces ‘rise’ and ‘fall’ that showcases the subtle sheen effect. The second design, Caisson, was inspired by a wonderful, old, sculpted panel door, such as those you frequently encounter in the smallest streets of Paris. Design number three, Feuillage, is a tile pattern of leaf designs.
The colour palette is equally pronounced and irrefutably demands your undivided attention. The colours in this collection boast captivating names such as Avorio, Prussia, Fondant, Perla and Felce, which make your imagination run wild. So do you dare to decorate a wall in black, bright blue or poisonous green? As a personal statement? Or do you prefer to play it safe with a more restrained tone?
Soundsuppressing
Intrigue offers another advantage. As a result of the combination of materials used,this wallcovering will influence in a positive way the acoustics in areas where the wallcovering has been installed. It means that voices are immediately muffled in large rooms.
Because the Intrigue collection is produced from supple material, it is also a valuable product for adding a touch of style to less attractive walls. Intrigue is actually highly flexible and very intriguing.
