Dots - LE CORBUSIER collection - Sold by roll

Together with Les Couleurs Suisse AG, which owns the worldwide rights to Le Corbusier’s well-known colours, ARTE developed a unique collection of wallcovering. The master architect’s entire body of work served as a source of inspiration. Using new techniques and materials, ARTE succeeded in transposing Le Corbusier’s progressive concepts into a unique and sensational wallcovering with a contemporary look and feel.

For this reference, ARTE referred to the dotted pattern which Le Corbusier used when designing a collection of wallcovering for Salubra S.A. in 1931. He was inspired by the cardboard which he often used for his designs and collages and its tiny perforations. ARTE almost literally translated Le Corbusier’s design to the present day with its ‘DOTS’ wallcovering. However the manufacturer used innovative printing techniques and an ink with relief, which appears and disappears under specific lighting conditions. Tiny dots were applied to the paper with coloured and glossy ink, creating a nice contrast with the matt background paper.
