In Italy, a Wall-covering Renaissance

"Feel this," Chiara said, showcasing a custom-made sample, fashioned to resemble the French royal crown and set with real stones - another, a Chinoiserie flower in full bloom whose veins have been hand stitched with silk thread and a multicolored bird, whose feathers have also been completely woven with shimmering silk thread. Dedar, which imbues the worlds of Italian art and textiles, says this season's Deauville Wall, Library Wall, Serenissima Wall and Millerighe Wall designs are digitally printed on linen and jute fabrics and come in wide and narrow stripe motifs, with sporty and nautical designs, to adorn walls with a lively yet uniform result, while freely exploring the color spectrum. "Textile wallcovering, on the other hand, derives from the classic stretched wall fabric tradition of grand palaces, which is made of textile material: warm, vibrant, irregular and which today is experienced as a way to give preciousness, warmth and comfort, even acoustic, to the interiors regardless of the pattern," he explained. Since its inception, Dedar has inked hotel projects like the JK Place Rome by Michele Bonan, as well as fashion collaborations with houses like Hermes and Borsalino, contributing to its profile.
