American surface design brand Wolf-Gordon is proud to announce the exclusive launch of Volterra™, an elegant new collection developed in collaboration with Jannelli&Volpi, the esteemed, family-owned Milanese wallcovering house. Designed in Milan and crafted in the US, Volterra seamlessly blends the exquisite artistry of European residential aesthetics with the rigorous performance standards required for high-traffic commercial and residential interiors.
Named for the ancient walled Tuscan village that has influenced art from the Medici era to modern times, Volterra embodies a fusion of old-world charm and contemporary sophistication. The collection draws inspiration from a place where Etruscan ruins meet avant-garde galleries, and where natural elements like stone, silk, and sky inspire every detail.
“We’re thrilled to bring Jannelli&Volpi’s rich heritage and exquisite patterns to our discerning audience,” says Marybeth Shaw, Chief Creative Officer of Marketing & Design at Wolf-Gordon. “The Volterra collection allows designers to infuse commercial spaces, particularly in hospitality, with the luxurious, nuanced feel of a high-end residential interior, while maintaining the superior durability Wolf-Gordon is known for – a versatility that simultaneously appeals to luxury residential specifiers.”
The Volterra collection reinterprets Jannelli&Volpi’s celebrated residential wallpapers into Type II commercial wallcoverings, making sophisticated patterns – from painterly abstractions to bold geometrics – accessible for demanding environments. Each pattern showcases a harmonious blend of textures, artisanal craftsmanship, and European inspired color, perfect for creating inviting and elegant spaces.
Su Misura: A classic silk reimagined with subtle shimmer and timeless elegance, bringing Italian couture to the wall through refined metallic accents and softly blended colors.
La Strada: A geometric roadmap of movement and modernity, with angles and overlaps reminiscent of Italian streets and intersections. A perfect coordinate to Su Misura.
Stella Nova: Ornate geometry with a glint of glamour, featuring a sophisticated diamond repeat in mylar that evokes stained glass tracery and vintage sparkle.
Arazzo Novo: A distressed damask with an artisanal soul, mimicking handmade techniques and block-printed textile traditions with subtle imperfections.
L’Albero: A wood texture elevated for modern interiors, this extremely dimensional, matte wood grain design exudes understated elegance and natural warmth.
Bellissimo: A nuanced linen with painterly color play, boasting the deep texture of a handwoven fabric with subtle multicolored layers over a soft textile base.
Le Nuvole: Dreamlike layers of color and calm, a serene blend of painted hues that create a cloud-like, almost meditative visual field.
Medicea Geo: Historic grandeur meets graphic modernism, an architectural geometric pattern with clean lines and rich texture that marries past and present Italian design.
Piazza Dei Priori: A sparkling patchwork for refined statement walls, featuring a dynamic geometric pattern layered with delicate flecks of mylar for robust form and subtle shine.
Bella Palma: An abstracted botanical that whispers more than it shouts, presenting a delicate palm motif with a textile emboss and glints of mylar for an airy, atmospheric feel.
Volterra stands as a vibrant testament to the power of collaboration, creating a unique synergy between Milan’s revered design sensibility and the manufacturing excellence of the US. This unique new collection opens a world of possibilities for designers to infuse commercial and hospitality spaces with an elevated level of beauty, richness, and durability, setting a new standard for sophisticated interiors.
