Inkiostro Bianco and the Ken Scott brand announce a new exclusive collaboration: an extraordinary wallpaper collection featuring six graphic designs based on the iconic works of the American designer, aiming to transform any environment with their distinctive character and eclectic style.
Inkiostro Bianco is a leading Italian interior design company known for its innovative and creative approach, offering high-quality products that transcend trends and create unique pieces for every need and project. Ken Scott, an iconic American designer dubbed the 'Gardener of Fashion', gained fame in the 1960s and ‘70s for his bold use of colours, patterns and floral motifs. His distinctive style revolutionised fashion and textile design, bringing vibrant energy and natural harmony to both clothing and home décor.
The Ken Scott Unconventional collection was created to celebrate the transformative power of design. The Italian brand and Ken Scott share a common vision – to create spaces that reflect the personality and spirit of those who inhabit them. The six graphic designs in the collection are more than just wallpapers: they represent a fusion of fashion and interior design that invites the viewer to dream and experiment. The collection is for those who love a refined style and see walls not merely as physical boundaries but as a canvas to paint with emotions and stories, as Ken Scott so often did.
The designs included in this collection are KS Cancellata, Domino, Peggy G, Coriopolis, Rosa Nera and an exclusive reinterpretation of Vanità, Bloom and Zigano. Each one perfectly expresses Ken Scott’s style.
The original Peggy G design was co-created with Susan Nevelson, an American designer and Ken Scott’s right hand. It draws inspiration from the fabric of the ceremonial dress worn by Peggy Guggenheim at the 1966 Venice International Film Festival. The design reflects the colours and style of that gown, as well as the famous art collector and Ken Scott’s close friend.
The reinterpretation of Vanità, Bloom and Zigano aims to highlight the primary characteristics of each motif, creating a combination with a powerful visual impact. Iconic daffodil and zinnia flowers, the main subjects of Vanità and Bloom, were selected, while Zigano was used as a background with its unique design, blending floral and geometric elements to provide a fine visual harmony. The combination of these elements reflects the natural harmony that Ken Scott loved and pursued in his works.
Domino, created in 1971, as an all-over design for furnishing, is inspired by the works of Victor Vasarely, the founder of the Op Art movement. It features an optical motif with a three-dimensional and visually intriguing design for curtains and sofas.
The Rosa Nera pattern, highly appreciated by the famous fashion journalist Anna Piaggi, was previously used to create interior tapestries, particularly for curtains and sofas. Coriopolis draws inspiration from Greek-Byzantine art and is crafted in a mosaic style. It was originally designed in 1975 as a fabric for fashion and over the years it has been widely used in clot home décor.
Each of the six patterns in the Ken Scott Unconventional collection will be available in different colour variations. As for the printing options, all designs can be produced on vinyl wallpaper, Raw and EQ·dekor. However, the Peggy G design will also be available on Goldenwall wallpaper with a gold leaf effect. Inkiostro Bianco and Ken Scott Foundation invite all to discover this new collection and draw inspiration from its distinctive patterns and colours. The Ken Scott Unconventional collection will transform spaces into unforgettable visual experiences.
