BOOKMARK ARTICLE

Finishing materials, from wall coverings and textiles to rugs and carpets, can make or break the realization of inspiring spaces. Material Bank’s online library of over 40,000 materials from over 300 brands makes finding creative, inspiring materials easier than ever before. We share a curated selection of the platform’s best.


Gallery Kasuri

Edel Carpets 

A new addition to Edel Carpets’ cut and loop collection, the Gallery Kasuri rug and carpet is characterized by a contemporary pattern available in three colourways: Cerulean (pictured above), Sunset and Seal. It is made from tufted polyamide and woven in a cut-and-loop pile pattern.


Magneto

Karpeta

For Karpeta, Elsa Boch and Ferréol Babin reinterpret the classic striped pattern with Magneto, a handwoven area rug made from a blend of New Zealand wool and cotton. Contrasting stripes, each comprising a spectrum of hues, give the rug textural depth.


Weave 002-ATuft

Loominology Rugs

Loominology Rugs’ Weave 002-ATuft is an optical illusion and adds a playful touch to any space. Its black and grey swirling pattern, crafted of viscose fibre, produces a 3D appearance but is a completely 2D area rug.


Empire Yellow

Luxury Carpet Studio

Empire Yellow is part of Elisabetta Santoro’s Colorful Collection for Luxury Carpet Studio. Rows of bright yellow-hued New Zealand wool are woven into a chevron-like pattern and contoured by a grey form, resembling a lightning bolt. The bold colour and pattern deliver a rug with a strong graphical quality.


Craft

Murals 

Terzo Piano’s design of the Craft collection of vinyl wall coverings for Murals pays contemporary tribute to traditional craftsmanship. Available in Plum, Tiffany (pictured above) and Curry (cover), the textile’s intersecting irregular lines create a surface with texture and tactility. 


Parure

MyDiTex

Artist and specialist in wall drawing Delphine Chopard designed the Parure textile exclusively for Galerie B, using specialist in digital textile printer MyDiTex’s cutting-edge technology. The hand-drawn pattern can be used on Galerie B’s various fabrics to make cushions, wall panels, bed linens and more, and can be used on carpets or rugs.


Motus 4

Spaghetti Wall

Motus 4 is part of Ludovica Misciattelli’s Motus Collection for Spaghetti Walls. The inspiration for the wallpaper's bold pattern originates from the fashion world and its precious fabrics. Its motif combines rich brushstrokes, soft lines and a surprising colour combination.


Soft Stone 1

The X Large Image

The X Large Image’s Soft Stone 1 acoustic wallpaper is made of a blend of recycled polyester. Its composition enables it to serve as a sound insulation element, ensuring its ability to help regulate the sensory environment across spatial typologies.
