Why This Pick

The Agra Okra comes from Arte International's Indienne collection — a reference to the centuries-old practice of Dutch and French houses commissioning block-print designs from Indian artisans for the European market. What Indienne now means at Arte is something more considered: the original archive pattern has been digitally redrawn and translated to a non-woven substrate that can be dry-stripped in a single sheet without soaking.

The color is the argument for Agra Okra. "Okra" is not the vegetable's green but a reference to an archaic textile term for a warm amber-ochre — the color that ochre takes when thinned to near-transparency over a cream ground. The result in a room is sunlight that didn't need to show up: warmth already baked into the wall itself.

From Designer Wallcoverings, trade accounts receive net pricing and full rollage. The free memo sample arrives rolled, not folded, so the hand is preserved at shipping. The full roll covers a standard single-drop of 10.05 metres.

"There are wallpapers that decorate and wallpapers that transform. Agra Okra transforms. The room it touches is no longer the same room."
