Sumi wallpaper Tecnografica

Sumi wallpaper by Tecnografica with pine branches and copper lines

Sumi wallpaper draws pine branches with long needles and small pine cones across your wall, as if someone has sketched them with a fine pen. Between the branches float round flowers with five petals and radiating veins. Some of them are faded and semi-transparent. This gives the image depth without becoming heavy. Underneath runs a background of irregular horizontal lines, divided into vertical strips. Up close it looks like woven bamboo, from a distance like a calm textile.

Sumi wallpaper as a continuous panorama on your wall

The design doesn't repeat in a short rhythm. One continuous composition runs across multiple widths, with flowers that grow to between half a metre and a full metre on the wall. In a long lobby corridor with a wooden counter and flowing light lines in the ceiling you can see what this does: the branches hang from above into the space, and the grazing light brings the line structure of the background to the fore. A long wall gets a progression you walk along, rather than a pattern you count off.

Colours of Sumi wallpaper: Hazelnut, Walnut and Ivory

In Hazelnut, copper and bronze lines lie on a beige-taupe background, with a metallic sheen that moves with the light. Walnut sets silver-grey to white lines on a grey-brown base and therefore looks cooler and more graphic. Ivory is the third colourway within this Tecnografica wallpaper.
