The Memphis collection draws on the grandeur of Egypt's ancient capital. "A luxurious, velvet-like textile with a slightly higher pile brings the relief patterns to life, creating a striking interplay of colours and shapes," Arte notes.
Individual designs within the collection include:
- Siwa – Inspired by the textures of the palm trunks in the Siwa Oasis, this design evokes warmth and tactile depth.
- Amarna – Loosely reflecting the organic layout of the ancient city of Amarna, this lively 3D textile enhances dynamic visual energy.
Essentials Luxor pays tribute to the glamour of the Roaring Twenties, integrating geometric patterns and Art Deco influences with Egyptian motifs. Innovative printing techniques recreate inlaid grass weaves in a natural colour palette, offering both visual and tactile richness.
Featured designs include:
- Thebe – A panoramic motif depicting palm trees, pyramids, and the Nile, with hidden flora and fauna, executed on sturdy jute with a fil-à-fil weave that adds dimensional depth.
- Benoe – A reinterpretation of a classic geometric pattern, named after the mythical Egyptian bird that rises with the sun each morning.

Arte emphasises the sensory quality of both collections, highlighting the interplay between texture, relief, and colour, and the use of durable, high-quality materials suitable for immersive interior applications.
The collections are available through Arte's network of dealers and professional design channels, with comprehensive brochures and online resources provided for specification and ordering.
Arte continues to blend historic reference, craftsmanship, and contemporary design innovation, offering wallcoverings that provide both aesthetic impact and tactile sophistication.
