Inlay of hand-woven wallcovering, made from natural plant fibres (sisal).

A sale of made-to-measure items does not permit neither exchange nor return of the sold goods; in case of uncertainty, we therefore recommend that you order an advance sample in order to be certain of your choice.

The collection that we are presenting here really is of a superior quality that surpasses all the superlatives.
It is – very appropriately - named Heliodor. Heliodor is a sunny yellow shade of beryl, a precious gem that is less wellknown than stones such as emerald.

The most amazing feature of this wallcovering is the fact that it is handmade. The basis is irregularly woven
sisal in one colour. One of the threads however, has a subtle glow and the warp and weft varies, to produce
a myriad of gorgeous colour gradations. In the next step, a pattern is cut from the sisal with painstaking
accuracy. This must be done very carefully so that the fabric does not unravel. The cut-out elements are
then combined and glued in a pattern to give a ‘trompe l’oeil’ effect. Varying the angle of the weave has
created incredible effects of depth and relief.

The design is called Scale. The pattern resembles the scale of the famous carp Kaï (Cyprinius Carpio.)  

The different shades shift and change, depending on the light, from greenish ochre and gold to brown, from light blue to darker blue
or from brown to black. The effect is endlessly fascinating.
