Arte 2026 - Seven remarkable collections

Yesterday

We are swooning over Arte's 2026 releases - all seven of them! Each collection has a distinct theme, materiality and colour paltette that will inspire designers to create singular interiors. And of course Arte are so clever at offering collections at different price points and functionalities: From exquisite handcrafted suede pieces and natural fibres, to faux grass cloth vinyl designs - they have it covered. Here's a quick rundown of their 2026 ranges...

ALLURES is a contemporary interpretation of classical French motifs and craftsmanship. The range features exquisite embroidery, figured velvets, hand-stitched suede, and a richly textured woven design.
CORIUM takes hand-pieced leather to another level with the addition of embroidery using Renaissance motifs.
INDIENNE has us marvelling at Arte’s ability to recreate authentic linen textures and hand-dyed colour variations. You’d swear these vinyl designs were real textile base cloths. The range blends bold patterns with subtle plains and a striking ikat look.
LES TAPISSERIES is a stunning interpretation of classic, centuries-old tapestries, reimagined through a contemporary lens. Includes panoramique multi-panel murals and all-over designs. A showstopper!
LUXOR, their latest Essentials collection, is a masterclass in faux grasscloth looks, with large-scale geometrical designs and nuanced plains. The hero design is a dramatic warp-laid jute design.
MEMPHSIS is their new 3D wallcoverings range paying homage to the architectural masterpieces and natural wonders of ancient Egypt. It features a luxurious, velvet-like textile which brings the embossed patterns to life.
ZEPHYR features fluid forms and sweeping lines, combining distinctive materials such as natural sisal, velvety suede, and shimmering metallic foil. These designs have a wonderful depth and tactility, using a sophisticated palette of warm earthy and airy tones.

Sampling is now in our showrooms and with our Agents - they'd love to introduce them to you. This week we are in Preview mode. Next week these collections will be up on the website. Stay tuned and be amazed!

Christmas Here We Come!

17 December 2025

Every year we say the same thing but we really, REALLY appreciate your support throughout the year!

We've had a super busy 12 months, packed with gorgeous products and exciting projects: It was nice to settle into our new Sydney location and give our Auckland showroom a refresh. We welcomed Pele, Lyndal and Kelly Ann to our team (NZ, VIC and NSW respectively). Our Annual Sale was a big success. We had a blast at Industry on Arthur and the various Design Days we participated in. We again had the pleasure of hosting Robert Petit from JAB. We released stunning collections from all our indent brands - who continue to create incredibly beautiful and innovative ranges.

So thank you again - we literally couldn't do it without you!
Wishing you a fun, safe and Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year,
from everyone at Unique x

Introducing Harvest Moon

24 November 2025

We were thrilled to hear Kit Kemp and Andrew Martin were working on another collaboration. Their first two projects were hugely successful - the eponymous Fabric and Wallpaper collections. The wallpaper design Mythical Land and fabric Friendly Folk in particular received a lot of love from our clients.
Their new release is the joyful Harvest Moon, a magical collection of prints, embroideries, wallpapers, tapestries and upholstery designs. Harvest Moon beautifully re-creates naive and folk art motifs and hand painted looks. We especially love the hand crafted touches of embroidery and appliqué. It's all combines to create a charming and highly usable range.
See the collection page HERE. Our Sales team and Agents are currently showing Harvest Moon. They look forward to seeing you.

Some exciting news for Monday (6 October): It's release-day for Above the Clouds, Carlucci's 2025 collection of fabrics and wallcoverings. And what a singular collection it is!

The wallcoverings in particular have really caught our eye. If you are looking for statement grasscloths when do check out the Shapes of Beauty book.
Above the Clouds is another fabulous example of Carlucci's 'relaxed glamour' that is never boring, always elegant and wonderfully tactile.
