Nina Campbell | Arles

Arles is a semi-plain built from a small wavy pattern, printed with metallic effects so the surface carries a soft shimmer that moves with the light. From across a room it reads as a textured plain; close to, the waves give it a gentle, hand-drawn rhythm.

It takes its name from the French city once known as a centre for the sale of cloths in the Indienne style. Printed in the United Kingdom on 130gsm paper, it is a natural background wallpaper, lifting halls, dining rooms and bedrooms without asserting a pattern, and it is especially good in evening rooms, where the metallic print answers candlelight and lamplight.
