Italian design studio LATOxLATO, led by the talented duo Francesco Breganze de Capnist and Virginia Valentini, has embarked on an exciting and innovative collaboration with Inkiostro Bianco, a renowned Italian brand specializing in artistic decorative wallcoverings. This unique partnership marks LATOxLATO’s debut in the realm of wallpaper design, bringing forth a collection of evocative metaphysical wallpapers that beautifully blend the realms of art, architecture, and design. The result is an enchanting series of urban visions that infuse spaces with an ethereal, dreamlike, and dynamic ambiance.
LATOxLATO‘s visionary touch has left a profound mark on Inkiostro Bianco’s esteemed Flow line, a collection celebrated for its fluidity, rhythmic shapes, and harmonious blend of colors. The collaboration introduces a fresh perspective to the line, offering a liberating escape from the constraints of rigid modern life. Virginia Valentini and Francesco Breganze de Capnist express their enthusiasm for this creative venture, appreciating the artistic freedom granted by Inkiostro Bianco as they translate their architectural signatures into metaphysical atmospheres. From grand structures to furniture, and now wallpapers, LATOxLATO masters the art of uniting architectural essence with an evocative and transcendent allure.
The underlying theme that unites the four extraordinary designs within the Flow line by LATOxLATO is the contemplation of the relationship between interior and exterior in architecture. The graphics of “Archscape” and “Metropolis” provide a unique perspective on the urban landscape, enticing viewers to embrace the cityscape from the comfort of their homes. These wallpapers portray volumes, stairs, windows, lights, and shadows adorning the walls of buildings, creating a mesmerizing yet almost mystical and dreamy metropolis.
On the other hand, “Bossage” and “Coffer Mania” beckon closer inspection, inviting viewers to stroll through bustling urban streets. These designs evoke an aura of curiosity, as one peers through illuminated windows, fantasizing about the inhabitants and the captivating ambiance within. The wallpapers unleash the imagination into an intangible and floating dimension, where dreams intertwine with reality.
As with every LATOxLATO project, the thoughtful exploration of color plays a pivotal role. Each shade is meticulously chosen to harmonize with both domestic and contract spaces, resulting in refined cool and warm tones that produce mesmerizing chiaroscuro effects. With multiple color variants available for each design, they effortlessly blend into any environment and complement various interior styles, making them versatile and universally appealing.
Lorenzo Bragato, the Commercial Director and co-owner of Inkiostro Bianco, commends the collaboration with LATOxLATO, praising the originality of the designs and the captivating allure of the urban and metaphysical-inspired graphics. He emphasizes the brand’s dedication to evoking emotions through their work and acknowledges how the partnership has enriched the Flow line, infusing it with sophisticated beauty and excitement.
In conclusion, LATOxLATO‘s collaboration with Inkiostro Bianco has birthed an awe-inspiring collection of metaphysical wallpapers that seamlessly blend the realms of architecture and dreams. Through these captivating designs, spaces are transformed into enchanting urban visions, offering a liberating and transformative experience. The amalgamation of art, architecture, and design in this collection reflects the essence of LATOxLATO’s creative vision and celebrates the harmonious interplay between the built environment and the imaginative world.
