Oblique wallpaper
Calico
Oblique’s sinuous lines evoke the tranquillity of the natural currents of the Mediterranean Sea, where the flowing water traces the contours of endless archipelagos.
Drawing inspiration from the continuous pathways formed by the nomadic movements of water, we worked with free-flowing gestures to capture the expressive nuances of a line. Undulating through space, the line shifts in thickness and colour creating unexpected moments of illusion and depth. We then set this design against a textured background, playing with negative space using subtle variations of colour. The result is an interconnected pattern immersed in soft hues.
