Grandeur Trend - Fall/Winter 2017-18 (Arsutoria)

A celebration of hyped-up decor with the prestigious classic. Eclectic and grandiose remake of decorative excess. Ornamental and innovative braiding through a refined digital collage.

Artistic interpretation of a modern, fantastic and surreal renaissance, contaminated with unpredictable elements such as hyper-realistic and up-to-date landscapes by digital artists. From Hieronymus Bosh to Marcel Lisboa.

Interwoven and overlapping elements of western imperialism, South American baroquism, Hispanic colonial elements, and Asian neo-naif decorations. Botanical landscapes, human portraits, illustrative motifs of classical painting.
The decorative hyper-trend has become important for all international retailers, who renew their offer with eclectic products adapted to the tastes of Millennials, always hungry for exciting new products.
