Fondo Pine Nut

FONDO is Italian and means „deep“. This depth immediately catches the eye with this healthy wallpaper from Hohenberger. It comes from the grasses that we found during our walks around our design studio and in the nearby Fichtelgebirge.

We were particularly impressed by the foliage of wild tulips. In order to make the design look as natural as possible, we first processed the leaves and grasses into threads and put them on a traditional school weaving frame. They form the so-called weft, the chain consists of a mounted cotton thread. As textile designers, the work gave us a lot of pleasure, but was also associated with a good deal of effort: the grasses were not as easy to work with as conventional yarn.

The effort was worth it!

With patience and dedication, a structure was created by hand, which became more beautiful day after day in the drying process. We were surprised how the weaving pattern developed a life of its own and played wonderfully with light and shadow with its depth effects. The effort was worth it! With a lot of sensitivity, the natural product was translated into a printable form by our specialists on the 3D scanner and processed in the engraving centres. The fabric structure of the non-woven wallpaper unfolds its haptic appearance in the room through 100 % sustainably produced foam.

FONDO comes from the SALT collection and is available in 8 colours, including in the light Himalayan Salt and grassy Pine Nut. In addition, the restrained pattern can be wonderfully combined with effective non-woven wallpapers, for example with the large foliages of FELICE and VITA from the PEPPER collection, to which SALT behaves symbiotically.

Originality and old values
