LATOxLATO makes its debut in wallpaper design by collaborating for the first time with Inkiostro Bianco, an Italian brand specializing in decorative coverings that blends art, architecture, and design. The result is a series of evocative metaphysical wallpapers. Urban visions envelop spaces in an ethereal, dreamlike, and yet dynamic dimension.

It’s an original interpretation and contribution to Inkiostro Bianco's Flow line, characterized by fluidity, the rhythm of shapes and colours, to break boundaries and rigidity that often compress us in today's life. "We are thrilled about this collaboration with a company like Inkiostro Bianco, an authentic laboratory of ideas that has given us full confidence and great creative freedom. It is as if we have been able to paint our vision on a blank canvas. On whatever scale we work, from the building to the furniture complement and now the wallpaper, we love to combine the architectural sign with a metaphysical atmosphere," tell Virginia Valentini and Francesco Breganze de Capnist, founders of LATOxLATO

The common thread running through the four designs created by the studio within the Flow line is the reflection on the relationship between interior and exterior in architecture. The graphics of Archscape and Metropolis evoke the city from the perspective of those who prefer to admire it from a distance, within the comfort of their own home. Volumes, stairs, windows, lights, and shadows projected onto the walls of buildings. A hectic yet almost mystical and dreamy metropolis.

Instead, Bossage and Coffer Mania invite closer inspection. It is like strolling through urban streets and, drawn to the light emanating from a room, fantasizing about the environment and the people who inhabit it, allowing the imagination to wander in an intangible and floating dimension.
As with every LATOxLATO project, the research on colour is essential, with colours designed for cross-use of the wallpapers in both domestic and contract spaces. Refined cool and warm tones create chiaroscuro effects. Each design is available in various colour variants, making it easy to fit into any type of environment and harmonize with different interior styles.

"LATOxLATO's contribution to the Flow line is very interesting due to the originality of the designs and the striking effect of the urban and metaphysical-inspired graphics. In our work, we always aim to evoke emotions. Flow was created to provide backgrounds that allow each individual to express their way of being, and the collaboration with LATOxLATO has enriched the line with exciting and sophisticated beauty," concludes Lorenzo Bragato, Commercial Director and co-owner of Inkiostro Bianco.
