Wallpaper design studio NLXL has launched a range of “cane webbing” wallpapers that mimic the ancient art of cane weaving in a contemporary way.

“We started working on Cane Webbing wallpaper designs in early 2018,” explains NLXL Creative Director Rick Vintage. “At the same time we were working on a wainscoting wallpaper but it wasn’t until we put the two together that we saw the potential of this collection. When Roderick Vos, one of our favourite designers, stopped by our studio we showed him prototypes of the webbing/wainscoting designs. He got inspired and surprised us with his beautiful sketches for the ‘Angle Webbing’ wallpaper a couple of weeks later.”

The modernistic take on webbing combines a classic and futuristic approach, with high-resolution scans creating the illusion of real cane webbing in wallpaper form.

An exciting venture between designer Piet Hein Eek and wallpaper studio NLXL sees the release of nine art-inspired designs being made into a range of wallpaper.

Wallpapers are not a thing of the past, certainly not when there is design innovation to this degree. Art lovers can look forward to shopping a novelty item that also serves as a chic addition to the home with these historical wallpaper designs. Showcased at the Rikjsmuseum in Amsterdam, the designs, which are printed on soft cloth, are inspired by different aspects of renowned artworks in the museum’s collection.

“By taking what’s there as a source of inspiration, I try to connect past and future in a pragmatic and natural way,” says Piet. “Surprisingly enough this urge to do what’s obvious often provides innovative products and concepts.”

The mural-size wallpaper collection was introduced at Salon del Mobile, 100% Design in London, Design Week in Tokyo, and of course in Milan.

The full collection can be viewed and purchased via the NLXL website.
