Nishiki wallpaper with koi carp between lotus leaves

Nishiki wallpaper shows koi carp swimming between large lotus leaves, buds and a lotus seed pod. Everything is drawn as an engraving: fine lines, hatching on scales and fins, and white surfaces filling leaves, flowers and fish. Behind it runs a woven grid that looks like linen, giving the wall a textile-like depth. Look closely and you'll see the fish appear between the leaves. From a distance the design reads as a dense surface of linework.

Colours of Nishiki wallpaper by Tecnografica

The design comes in five colourways: Lobster, Blueberry, Cream, Mint and Salt. In Lobster the lines are light terracotta, almost salmon-colored, on a beige grid. This creates a warm wall that pairs well with wood, cream and gold tones. Blueberry draws the koi and lotus in gray-blue on a light gray-blue background and feels cooler and fresher. In both versions the leaves and fish are white, so the pattern looks airy, even on a large wall.

Tecnografica wallpaper on a high wall

In the lifestyle photo the design covers a high wall in a lobby with an arched window and gold-colored reveals. On the wall the leaves are roughly palm- to plate-sized and the koi carp almost dissolve into the linework. The pattern then works as texture behind a white reception desk and a curved cream-colored sofa. If you're looking for calm on the wall with a story for those who come closer, Nishiki wallpaper suits a hall, reception or living room with high ceilings.
