Armani/Casa wallpaper

Armani/Casa wallpaper brings the discipline of Giorgio Armani's fashion house to the wall: linear and understated, ordered around symmetry and harmony rather than a loud print. Production sits in Italy with Jannelli & Volpi, which makes the collections under license, so one house style runs through the whole range.

A fashion house that moved into the home

The line dates from 2000, the year Giorgio Armani opened an interiors store of his own in Milan. The reference point is 1930s art deco, reworked into quiet color palettes and straight lines. On a wall it reads more like a well-cut jacket than a decorative motif.

Silk, raffia and grasscloth textures on the wall

The designs imitate silk, raffia weaves, grasscloth and slim textile ribbing, so a flat surface picks up depth and something you want to touch. Tone-on-tone effects and a restrained sheen carry most of the range; a smaller group follows a graphic or geometric line. Much of the wall covering in this segment is vinyl given a natural surface, which stands up to wear better than the fiber it imitates. Order a sample and judge the structure in your own room: silk wallpaper, raffia wallpaper and grasscloth wallpaper make useful comparisons.

Collection lines: Inspired Moods, Precious Fibers, Graphic Elements, Refined Structures

The range splits into thematic lines. Inspired Moods 1 turns on the idea of escape and escapism, built on literary and poetic themes printed at large format. Graphic Elements 3 takes the geometric side of the house language and sits next to other geometric wallpaper without friction.

Rooms that suit Armani/Casa wallpaper

Because the patterns stay quiet, they hold up in rooms used every day. A bedroom takes the silk and raffia designs well; an entry hall or living room carries the graphic patterns without feeling busy. One wall in texture is usually plenty.

Ordering and hanging: what to check first

Relief and textile structures are unforgiving, so we advise an experienced paperhanger, certainly for large-format designs where the drops have to meet without a visible seam. Work out the number of rolls before you order. Duties and taxes are settled in advance on international orders, and our team answers pattern questions by email or phone.
