Arte redefines goatskin as a wall material with Corium

Arte explores the potential of goat leather applied to wall coverings through its Corium collection, drawing inspiration from the decorative traditions of the Middle Ages and the Italian Renaissance. Available in satin-finished leather or lightly sanded nubuck, the panels are hand-shaped and embroidered, revealing a surface that is both supple, durable, and highly textured. This approach highlights precise artisanal craftsmanship, where stitching and embroidery play a central role in the decorative composition. The collection is structured around several patterns, each interpreting a historical reference. Ductia evokes the movement of a medieval dance through stitched ornaments, while Palazzo (photo) is inspired by the doors of Florence Cathedral with a structured geometric design. Jaseran recalls chainmail patterns, Gambison references padded garments, and Cassone draws on Renaissance coffered ceilings. Other designs, such as Paladin or Avenio, favor a more minimalist interpretation of the material, playing with cuts and assemblies to reveal the texture of the leather. Designed for highly decorative interior projects, Corium transforms the wall into an expressive surface, where the materiality of leather, combined with embossed patterns, enhances the sensory perception of spaces.
