FROM VENETIAN SILKS TO DECORATIVE WALLCOVERINGS

With a legacy dating back to 1499, Luigi Bevilacqua has long been synonymous with extraordinary silk craftsmanship. Now, that heritage takes on a new form with the debut of Bevilacqua Classics — the Venetian textile house’s first collection of decorative wallcoverings.

Drawing from Bevilacqua’s remarkable historical archive, the collection reintroduces some of the house’s most iconic motifs. While grounded in history, the collection is realised through high-definition digital printing, capturing the depth, colour and intricacy of the original designs. The wallcoverings themselves are crafted as textile surfaces, incorporating materials such as silk, linen and natural raffia, with select designs enriched by subtle lurex that catches the light.

Importantly for designers, the collection also delivers on performance. Produced in Italy using eco-friendly inks, the wallcoverings are fire-retardant and light-resistant, making them suitable for both residential and commercial interiors.

THE ART OF HORSEHAIR

There’s a certain restraint to horsehair – subtle, textural, and inherently architectural. At Le Crin, this noble fibre is woven entirely by hand in a single workshop in Challes, France. Strand by strand, using a technique unchanged since 1787, artisans produce just a few metres each day. The result is a textile defined by precision: luminous, exceptionally durable, and deeply tactile.

For interiors, horsehair offers a balance of beauty and performance. Naturally resilient and resistant to wear, it lends itself to walling, joinery panels, and upholstery—particularly in high-use environments where longevity is essential. Its ability to catch and diffuse light brings depth without excess.

With Le Crin, horsehair moves beyond heritage. It becomes a material of intent—functional, enduring, and sophisticated.
