“Real craftsmanship is a continuous process. It’s about moving a venerated art formalong the creative continuum – experimentally and completely by hand.”
– Luigi Scarabelli, co-founder of Fabscarte.
Leading with nearly three decades of experience, Luigi Scarabelli and Emilio Brazzolotto along with a group of young craftsmen, gave life to Fabscarte, a Milanese brand of artisanal excellence. It is a workshop of hand-painted works on paper characterized by experimentation of techniques and materials.
The Fabscarte team is constantly inspired by nature and art, blending matter, touch, and color in an original way, to offer a new lexicon to interior design. Fabscarte prides itself on preserving and reinterpreting an illustrious artistic legacy from bygone centuries. The result is an exclusive collection of wallpapers that evoke the rich tapestry of Italian tradition, enlivened by contemporary appeal and aesthetics informed by classical ornamentation.
A new aesthetic experience
At Fabscarte, through our work, we convey something that brings us closer to art and its philosophy: we start from the object to reach its essence. While anyone can paint a forest on paper, delivering a clear and immediate message, Fabscarte goes beyond that: we seek our identity, avoiding the mere reproduction of a classic formal painting. In the informal, there is no finished form, only pure emotion that comes to life through art. The less form there is, the more one captures the emotion from which everything began. In our designs, we deconstruct the image to reveal its essence. It’s a more challenging approach to communicate, but far deeper and open to interpretation.
A handcrafted excellence
At the heart of the brand’s ethos is the quest to disseminate beauty through handmade creations that are not only visually appealing, but also tactile and sensorial, elevating the experience of aesthetics to new heights. Every paper is meticulously crafted and customized to suit the unique requirements of each project, ensuring a bespoke finish that is truly exceptional.
Fabscarte’s expertise and acuteness for a flair elevates wallpaper art and experiments with techniques of high Italian craftsmanship. The attention to detail in all stages of processing, from the preparation of the bases to the application of the texture and the relief of the decorations, expresses the intrinsic essence of the brand.
