Introducing Extraordinary New Arte

10 October 2024

We’re welcoming Spring in style with five new collections from Arte, each highlighting their cutting-edge printing techniques and masterful use of natural materials.  Pampas captures the essence of grasscloth textures, while Washed Linen and Brushed Suede showcase refined paint effects.  Green House by Mooi stands out with bold, high-impact designs,  and All Naturals celebrates true artisanal craftsmanship. Sample books are now available in our showrooms and with our agents.

We look forward to sharing these stunning collections with you.

Cosmic Kiss by Carlucci

9 September 2024

With taglines like ‘Anything is possible’ and ‘Kissed by curiosity’ Carlucci’s 2024 release Cosmic Kiss is bold, eclectic and opulent. The breadth of this collection is extraordinary: figured velvets, highly textured bouclés, intricate embroideries, large-scale prints and glamorous faux-silks all combine to create an inspiring feast of luxury fabrics and wallcoverings. Italian craftsmanship, innovation and modern elegance are to the fore. A design like Time Traveller epitomises this with its stunning fusion of velvet construction, geometric motifs, ombre colours and strié texture.

Cosmic Kiss sampling is now in our showrooms and with our agents. Our Sales team look forward to introducing it to you

LOVE OF LIFE BY CARLUCCI

Anna 13 October 2023

We're buzzing about this one: Carlucci's 2023 release is here and it's so fabulous! Inspired by the Côte d’Azur, Carlucci's designers have infused this collection with the sights, textures and colours of this beautiful part of the world.

The radiant colours of southern France like hibiscus, azure blue and intense chartreuse shine through, with plenty of sophisticated colour combos and melange yarns.

The prints are show stoppers: We're loving the picturesque scenes in Love of Life, the groovy Coast of Colours and mysterious Stay Forever...
