Atelis is the new Zambaiti Parati project that encompasses two collections designed by Andrea Boschetti‘s Metrogramma and Michele De Lucchi‘s AMDL CIRCLE studios. The design criteria from which the new line originates are the selection of precious and natural supports capable of standing out in the sector market and the creativity capable of emphasising the expressive potential of the material with matrices drawn by hand and then printed, as if they were silk-screen prints or art lithographs.
These elements combine to make Atelis a collection capable of innovating, on a technical and commercial level, the offer of wallpapers for the world of interior design and contract. It is produced using rice starch and pure linen, materials that are both natural and precious. The Atelis project is declined in two collections, developed in parallel by the two studios involved and conceived as true handcrafted boiserie, with imperfect signs and codes that declare the value of the handmade.
The first collection, by Metrogramma, identifies the history of stitching as the main design theme. The studio intends to give rise to graphic motifs that recall the art of sewing, transforming it into a handcrafted, manual, precious element for the decoration of papers. The collection therefore proposes embossed rice starch papers, papers in the form of pure linen boiserie and digital panels that can be produced in a variety of innovative media, all decorated with stitching that refers to the most recognised techniques that also constitute interesting graphic motifs.
The second collection, signed AMDL CIRCLE, is inspired by the beauty and complexity of the rural landscape, evoking, through the textures and colours selected for the papers, the history and techniques that have helped shape it. Guiding the creative process is the gesture of ploughing the fields, a symbol of the bond between man and the earth: the pigments have been “raked” onto the drawing sheets with wooden combs with different types of teeth – wide or narrow, square or pointed – creating a language of lines, tangles and shapes, inspired by the furrows of cultivated fields, hedges and rows of trees observed from the sky. that we feel when, surrounded by nature, we feel intimately connected with the planet.
