Walls of Wonder
The Art of Wallpaper

Fortuny x San Patrignano

Fortuny and San Patrignano introduce a wallpaper collection handmade at the community’s Design Lab in Italy, offering historic Fortuny patterns, subtle textures, and bespoke finishes. Choose a softly textured ground to complement a room’s fabrics, or a printed design that captivates the eye. For something entirely your own, our artisans will help you develop a color, pattern, and finish to match your vision.

The artisan’s hand

Set in the hills above Rimini, Italy, San Patrignano is a residential recovery community where learning a craft is part of rebuilding a life. Here, apprentices learn decorative techniques passed down by the interior and set designer Renzo Mongiardino, including trompe-l’œil and decorative paneling. Our collaboration unites this living tradition with Fortuny’s heritage of pattern and color: we bring designs from our Venetian archive, and San Patrignano’s artisans reinterpret them through painted grounds, raised ornament, and metal leaf. In the finished wallpapers, historical designs acquire new depth and luminosity, with subtle variations that reveal the artisan’s hand.

Bespoke Wallpaper

For this collection, we asked San Patrignano’s artisans to reinterpret patterns from the Fortuny archive in hand-finished wallpaper. Their experience in decorative painting, relief, and gilding is now at the service of your ideas. We work beside you as a creative collaborator, developing the color, pattern, and scale for your room. The 12 techniques below offer a starting point. The patterns and colorways shown are glimpses of what is possible, leaving room for your imagination to lead the way.

Solid & Printed Wallpaper

Our collection brings archival Fortuny patterns and colors drawn from our fabrics to handmade Italian wallpaper. Limewash and Mottled grounds offer two expressions of surface and color. Five printed designs introduce variation: Miter, Persepolis, Favo, Cimarosa, and Malmaison. Choose a softly textured ground to accompany a patterned textile, or let a printed design give the room its character.

Bespoke Fire-Retardant Wallcovering

For interiors with specific performance requirements, Fortuny offers a bespoke fire-retardant fiberglass wallcovering. Any pattern from the Fortuny archive can be translated through digital printing, with layered color creating depth and luminosity without the use of metal. Palettes may follow original Fortuny textiles or be composed for the room itself, bringing the House’s visual language to great rooms where the world gathers.
