Entry Description

Arte’s NYC flagship showroom showcases the finest wallcoverings, embodying the company’s creative artistry and commitment to craftsmanship. Designed to captivate, the showroom features a front reception that evokes an opulent living space, alongside a main display area adorned with wallcovering samples.
Departing from conventional retail norms, Arte’s merchandise ranges from small swatches to large pivoting panels and fully dressed walls.
At first glance, the spaces appear primarily illuminated by decorative pendants, casting a soft glow over table and surrounding features. However, a series of architectural wall washers and strategically arranged spotlights work in harmony to enhance the geometric wallpaper and abstract mural colors. This focused lighting draws attention to specific textures and details, heightening the visual impact.
To further elevate the experience, high-CRI LEDs with rich red tones are employed to showcase the wallcoverings' true colors and intricate patterns. The thoughtful layering of decorative and architectural lighting creates a warm, inviting ambiance while remaining functional and versatile.
To accommodate the seasonal rotation of featured samples, the showroom’s control system incorporates advanced wireless technology. This innovation offers unparalleled flexibility, allowing clients to adjust light settings to complement the products on display.

Sustainability Approach

The showroom features a flexible and scalable smart lighting control system powered by Bluetooth mesh technology. This system operates using standardized hardware and firmware, eliminating the need for separate gateways or centralized panels. With the ability to control the lighting via a tablet, the showroom manager gains exceptional flexibility in adjusting light settings to suit specific needs.
By omitting hardwired switches, dedicated control wires, and bulky lighting racks, the design significantly reduces material usage and minimizes associated carbon emissions. This approach not only enhances efficiency and adaptability but also underscores the company's commitment to environmental responsibility.
