Collezione di carte da parati Atelis

The wallpaper collection Atelis, by AMDL CIRCLE for Zambaiti Parati, is inspired by the beauty and complexity of the rural landscape, evoking, through the textures and colors selected for the papers, the history and techniques that contributed to shaping it. 
The gesture of plowing the fields guides the creative process, a symbol of the bond between man and the earth: the pigments were “raked” on the drawing sheets with wooden combs with different types of teeth – wide or narrow, square or pointed – creating a language of lines, tangles, and shapes inspired by the furrows of cultivated fields, hedges, and rows of trees observed from the sky. An additional human and emotional dimension is given by hand-drawn motifs, unique traits where small imperfections and asymmetries give preciousness.
The chosen natural colors, such as ocher’s earthy reds and yellows, bluish and greens, blend and combine, creating soft and serene atmospheres, among the vibrations of lights and shadows created by the embossing of the surface. The hues and texture of the finishes were then combined and reworked digitally, becoming graphic effects to decorate, color, and engrave the surface of rice starch wallpaper. Walls can thus arise that bring into indoor environments the feeling of well-being that we feel when, surrounded by nature, we feel intimately connected to the planet.
