Traces of nature in interior design. The miracle of plant complexity becomes an intimate visual scenario in the Paradise Lost collection, curated by Lorena d'Ilio for SpaghettiWall.  “The creative path and research linked to these wallpapers emerge from introspection, from a sense of spiritual relationship with flowers, whose scent, colours and skin I have always loved. The flowers undergo interpretative passages, from photographic to graphic, to redesign, to become a refined decoration, but one that is immediately readable,” says the designer and founder of the Milanese Studio Mamo, who defines herself as a "digital painter", as well as conducting research on trends, including colour, for the fashion and furnishing industry.

I cinque soggetti - “XXL Glow”, “Crisalide in motion”, “Dancing together”, “Flower Clouds” e “Archivio effimero” - sono dunque il risultato di un processo artistico sviluppato in differenti fasi. La prima vede la realizzazione di immagini fotografiche, dove uno zoom d’accento sulla morfologia della flora produce macro emozionanti e particolareggiate. “Come al microscopio osservo la linfa dei fiori e immagino di leggere il loro DNA” commenta Lorena D’Ilio, che procede quindi trasferendo gli scatti nello scenario digitale, con una loro stilizzazione perché “la mia grande paura è che un giorno tutta questa bellezza possa scomparire e da questa suggestione ho dato vita a correlazioni di specie, fiori estinti e decomposti che, attraverso la digitalizzazione mutano e assumono altre forme; si moltiplicano, si modificano in un processo senza fine”. Qui affiorano, come segni leggeri, le delicate linee di contorno dei petali, ridisegnati, che, nell’ultimo step, vengono rese personali grazie all’introduzione del colore, ora pieno, profondo e vibrante, ora invece punteggiato, a seguire solamente i profili. I pattern, dipinti a mano, sono sofisticati e colti, mentre sprigionano la metafora di un mondo naturale sottoposto a “diverse fasi di osservazione, un momento catturato, delicato e fragile di una vulnerabilità messa in mostra”. Rivestono superfici d’interior e possono essere impiegati per creare intere pareti o pannelli da usare come tele decorative, anche in sovrapposizione tra loro.

The five subjects - “XXL Glow”, “Crisalide in motion”, “Dancing together”, “Flower Clouds” e “Archivio effimero” - are thus the result of an artistic process developed in different phases. The first one sees the creation of photographic images, where an accent zoom on the morphology of the flora produces exciting and detailed macros. “Like a microscope, I observe the lymph of the flowers and imagine that I am reading their DNA,” comments Lorena D'Ilio, who then proceeds by transferring the shots into the digital scenario, stylising them because “my great fear is that one day all this beauty may disappear and from this suggestion I have created correlations of species, extinct and decomposed flowers that, through digitalisation mutate and take on other forms; they multiply, they modify themselves in an endless process. Here, the delicate contour lines of the petals emerge as light marks, redrawn, which, in the last step, are made personal thanks to the introduction of colour, now full, deep and vibrant, now dotted, following only the outlines. The patterns, hand-painted, are sophisticated and cultured, as they release the metaphor of a natural world subjected to "several phases of observation, a captured, delicate and fragile moment of a vulnerability put on display”.

They cover interior surfaces and can be used to create entire walls or panels to be used as decorative canvases, even overlapping each other.

Finally, the very high resolution printing accentuates the intensity of the textures designed by Lorena D'Ilio for SpaghettiWall, customisable in a selection of colour variants and available on seven media with different properties, for application in different types of spaces, even in direct contact with water.
