The Wonderwoods design is part of the new collection with Décors & Panoramiques launched by Arte International in Spring 2021. It is a stunning print: smooth brushstrokes, organic and soft and in my opinion, with a nod to the Art Deco era.

So my quest was to search a stunning material and technique that uplifted this design even more. Going trough my fabric library I found these cosy fabrics, a plain and cut version, which I had never used before. Many question marks appeared: is this printable? What material is this? Will it be feasable in production? And what about the seams on the wall??
I figuered out I was going to give it a go. Analysing it's production proces I came up with an idea for printing ànd backing (yes, it needs to be applied to the wall).
An absolute Eureka moment whith the (first!) finished sample in my hand! I immediately got in touch with the Arte design studio sending them some footage on what I had achieved. It was an instant GO-GO-GO for them too.
