VINACOUSTIC KATSURA

A wallcovering made of fine plant slats plaited vertically, which are used as the basis for decorating Japanese walls : a matt colour, tone on tone, with subtle blends of coloured slubs creating a soft, random vertical rhythm.

Selected by the Technical Innovations Guide of the Moniteur Group, this heavy duty, technical, acoustic wall covering designed by Texdecor has swiftly made its mark as one of the most effective solutions for acoustic and decorative problems found in public buildings. Today, it is acclaimed and specified by the majority of buyers and contracting owners.
In 2017, Texdecor has added to the range with 2 new collections :

Katsura & Katsura Reflect :

These 2 collections make reference to the Japanese gardens and the architecture of the Katsura Imperial Villa: a wallcovering made of fine plant slats plaited vertically, which are used as the basis for decorating Japanese walls.
It takes a fresh look at this traditional decor to create two unique ambiances:

Vinacoustic Katsura :

A matt colour, tone on tone, with subtle blends of coloured slubs creating a soft, random vertical rhythm. Available in a wide range of plant tones, this wall covering creates a decor that is at once soft and colourful.

Vinacoustic Katsura Reflect :

The wallcovering is enriched with a delicately metallised, lacquered finish overprinted on the ridges of plant plaiting. This subtly glossy colour, tone on tone, reveals the delicacy of the structure, both through contrasts and by catching the light. This wall covering, draped in its robe of light, becomes luxurious. It adds intensity to the wall and brightens up the room.
