Remember how wallpaper was, like, soooo 1970s? Well, hang on to your wallpaper applicators because it’s back…and in a massively huge way. This is just a sample of the new collection from Giardini and each design showcases the company’s philosophy: to produce stunning collections of wall coverings in fabric.
An experimentation with blends and composition of fabrics has seen the production of a highly sophisticated combination of classic materials such as linen, metallic fibres, natural silks, faux fur, raffia, polyurethane and so much more.
From an interior design perspective, these wall coverings provide a wide scope of application from bedrooms, living rooms and dining rooms to kitchens, bathrooms, dressing rooms and walk-in robes. Almost any interior room would benefit from the application of one of these stunning designs.
Opium features modern materials with inspiration from the Near East, India and the western world to produce a contemporary, feminine delicate collection. Options include relief-printed gold and silver on a taffeta background, ornamental stripes created from natural materials, plus a variety of solid-colour fabrics.
Zenith is a collection that pays homage to the ancient world with its myriad colours and decors, warp and weft threads. A signature decor – in five colour variations, relief-printed on taffeta – is teamed with a striped, stylised geometrical shape. Two solid colours are also available with shiny/matt contrasts for added effect.
Sauvage is a nod to soft hues which range from beige to brown with splashes of colour for a bold, trendy edge. A slightly chintzy jacquard satin fabric provides a shiny effect while two metallic viscose variations were inspired by Moorish architecture and provide a more traditional, sophisticated finish.
I’ve only been able to bring you a small sample of the entire collections and I do encourage you to visit the website to see more. Let me know what you think – would you use a textured, fabric wallpaper in any of your designs?
