Nina Campbell | Canto

Canto is a linen-effect stripe, printed on a non-woven base so the paper carries the dry, thready character of cloth while hanging with the ease of paper. The stripe is soft-edged rather than ruled, which keeps the wall relaxed, and the design takes its name from the verses of Dante's poetry, a companion to its sister plain.

It is made in the United Kingdom, and the non-woven base makes it straightforward to hang and to live with. A gentle textured stripe of this kind serves almost anywhere, halls, studies, bedrooms, sitting rooms, drawing a room quietly taller while behaving, at a distance, almost as a plain.
