All our products are designed in-house at Arte. Our state-of-the-art Design Studio, which has significantly expanded in recent years, serves as the beating heart of our company. With around 50 new designs each year, it is a constant hub of creative activity. Our designers are always on the lookout for new materials and techniques, traveling the globe to find inspiration. When they discover a unique material that has never been used in wallcoverings before, a new journey begins: What designs can they create with this material, and how can they get it on the wall? For many materials, Arte is a pioneer in incorporating them into wallcoverings.
Our Design Studio
Innovative materials and techniques
As a result, Arte is renowned for its exceptional materials and innovative techniques. Our extensive range features the most imaginative materials: metal foil, denim, wood veneer, textured fabrics, leather, silk, banana bark and much more. We employ a variety of techniques, including weaving, inlays, digital prints etc, to bring these materials to life.
Additionally, Arte offers a wide range of vinyl products and screen-printed, non-woven products that mimic authentic materials such as luxury fabrics, natural fibres, leather, and wall finishes like paint techniques and plaster. These imitations are so realistic that they are almost indistinguishable from the designs made by hand, with the added benefit of being extremely durable and long-lasting.
Closely related to haute couture
Arte’s design process is closely related to haute couture in the fashion industry. Creating a new collection is a meticulous process that often takes over a year, which means we have to look several years into the future to stay on top of our game. It involves not only finding the perfect materials and production techniques but also curating a balanced colour palette and harmonizing different designs within a collection. Our design studio not only comprises a team of product designers but also interior architects, graphic designers and digital specialists. They design showrooms, retail shops and exhibition decors, ensure that every new wallcovering is showcased with stylish interior photos, develop digital tools and packaging, and much more besides.
