Modern Affresco is the wallpaper collection by Tecnografica Italian Wallcoverings, whose subjects transcend the time they represent.
As the name itself suggests, Modern Affresco is inspired by the concept of an ancient fresco reinterpreted in a modern key. From the encounter with a real frescoed wall worn by the passage of centuries and revealing only fragments of its original design, our artist-designers draw creative inspiration to shape graphics imbued with the enveloping and melancholic charm of British castles. Floral subjects with soft colors on damaged and peeling walls, immersed in pale gray tones, evoke moments from a distant past that finds renewed prestige in the present day.
The handcrafted creation of the graphics, along with meticulous attention to shapes and colors to create harmony between artistic subjects and the textured grooves of the background, offers a different interpretation of the effects of time on objects. Modern Affresco does not speak of the “old,” but of the “ancient.” It does not describe “damaged surfaces,” but “precious” ones thanks to their ability to still tell a story that would otherwise have been lost in time.
This is how the colors and emotions of ancient legends shine again through the graphics of Modern Affresco, first handmade by Tecnografica’s artists, then digitally transposed and printed through the exclusive SD technology for ultra-high-definition image capture.
