Inkiostro Bianco Materiaprima wallpaper collection

Three design families inside the Materiaprima wallpaper collection

Materiaprima wallpaper is the Inkiostro Bianco line that starts with the material itself rather than with a motif. Across its 57 designs this Italian collection keeps circling one idea: organic shape held in check by graphic precision. Sorted into three families, it stops feeling large: the botanicals, the atmospheric group, and the line work.

Botanical Materiaprima designs, from fern to canopy

Adiantum is drawn from fern leaves and reads as fine surface texture from the doorway, as plant life from arm's length. Canopy goes green and full. Bali takes the tropical route, Brasilia the botanical one, and Forestfall and Glasshouse belong to the same family. Designs like these earn their keep in an entryway or a breakfast nook, rooms you cross several times a day. If that is your direction, our wider botanical wallpaper and green wallpaper pages show what else sits in that register.

Atmospheric designs that behave like a color wash

Brezza and Bruma work with subtle movement. Calima is the mysterious one. Haze, Drift and Flusso Lento sit with them, and Cantico is the poetic member of the group. A design from this family leaves a room its air, which is why it works in a primary bedroom, or a powder room where a hard-edged print would push the walls inward.

Graphic structure and fine line work in Materiaprima

Equilibri Grafici, Hachure, Grisaille and Intrecci make up the disciplined half of the collection. Anthem is built on rhythm, Ardea is the graphic one, and Aureum carries a note of luxury through the same restraint. Canvas stays painterly, Eidola stranger. Set against plain drywall and simple trim they hold a room on their own; near other pattern they compete. The graphic wallpaper and textured wallpaper pages gather comparable work from the other houses we carry.

How Materiaprima sits beside the other Inkiostro Bianco collections

Materiaprima wallpaper is one of several lines we carry from this house. The Monochrome collection runs to 19 designs and Inkids to 12, while the complete Inkiostro Bianco wallpaper range covers 342. Materiaprima is the largest of the three and the broadest in mood, the sensible place to start with the brand.

Ordering Inkiostro Bianco wallpaper from a European specialist

We ship from the Netherlands, and duties and taxes are included in the price shown, so the figure next to a design is the figure you pay. Order a sample and tape it to the wall you mean to cover, at the height you will actually see it. Colors that look near-identical on screen separate fast once daylight and your own wall color get involved. For a second opinion on scale, write to us; we would rather talk it through than have you order twice.
