Product description

Metric tiles
Do you like something more eccentric? Metric plays with various forms and figures that together result in a fascinating pattern. The sequence of figures calls separate tile formations to mind. Select one overlapping colour if you want a subtle interplay of lines, or go for the tricolour if you want something more striking. Metric from Arte’s Oculaire collection. 7 colour variations.

Concept

Tropical modernity
Natural materials such as rattan, reed and sisal are becoming more popular. They add character, texture and warmth to your interior with a touch of the exotic. That is why Arte developed Oculaire: a hand-made wallcovering of sisal fibres. The collection consists of contemporary and playful designs that have a subtle tropical vibe.

With Oculaire you add something very special to your home because the sisal is woven by hand. You also get a very pure end product because the wallcovering is based on sisal, a natural material. Sisal is a very strong fibre, derived from the agave plant. Just like rattan and reed, the material is appearing more often in our interiors. Selecting sisal results in a stylish wallcovering that transports you to warmer climes.

Pieces are cut from the fabric with a die. The cut-out elements are then inlaid by hand and glued in a pattern that creates a trompe-l’oeil effect. A process that must be done with extreme care, and is therefore reserved for the true professional.
