ARTE has unveiled its latest collection, PRISMATIC, which delves into the interplay between light, material, and perception. This collection draws inspiration from the phenomenon of refraction, capturing moments when light fragments into a visual and emotional spectacle, transforming walls into vibrant surfaces.
PRISMATIC aims to invoke the effect of a prism dispersing light in multiple directions: bright, unpredictable, and constantly in motion. It achieves this through the layering of patterns, geometric shapes, natural fibers, and organic textures.
### A Collection, Five Visions of Light
#### Rutile
Large strips of handwoven raffia create a dynamic pattern with crystalline reflections. Inspired by rutilated quartz, this design exudes natural sophistication and a layered aesthetic that plays with light orientation.
#### Refraction
Thick, hand-dyed raffia is cut and inlaid with precision to form a geometric pattern with a playful, organic twist. Each piece represents a handcrafted balance of colors.
#### Reflect
Thin, hand-dyed raffia strips are transformed into a delicate, geometric surface, reminiscent of a diamond’s facets. It’s a subtle design, precise and full of light.
#### Gradient
Crafted with fine ramie fibers, this smooth design comes alive with its irregular knots and rich color palette. Earthy and vibrant tones coexist in a calm yet visually powerful statement.
#### Diffuse
An open and expressive hemp fabric lightly reveals the background color, creating a subtle contrast between the thread’s transparency and the base’s color intensity. An elegant and contemporary choice.
### Touch, Light, and Nature: The New Mural Luxury
The PRISMATIC collection aligns with ARTE’s philosophy of exploring new materials, techniques, and emotions in every design. The coverings, made from natural fibers like raffia, ramie, or hemp, not only offer visual beauty but also a tactile warmth that redefines the spatial experience. Each piece is a balance between craftsmanship and technology, design and emotion. It’s a commitment to sensory beauty that turns every wall into a living canvas.
