Nguni Skin Wallpaper Series
Nguni Skin Series Collection – Where African Heritage meets Sophisticated Design
Rooted in the traditions of Southern Africa, the Nguni Skin Series Collection honours one of the continent’s powerful symbols—the Nguni. These majestic animals, seen as living artworks, have been cherished for centuries not only for their resilience and beauty but for their deep cultural significance.
Design Story:
This collection brings the legendary Nguni skin to life in hyper-realistic detail—showcasing every speckled patch, detailed strokes of hair, every irregular marking that makes each design a true original. Designed in a range of traditional natural hues— dark browns, creamy whites, coal blacks, as well as more eccentric, editorial tones that flirt with stylised pastels, these prints transcend mere imitation. They are a respectful reinvention.
Whether you lean into earthy authenticity or choose the more daring colourways, each design carries a strong grounding energy that instantly enriches a space with depth and personality.
Why Designers Love It:
This collection isn’t loud—it commands presence. The texture is visual; the effect, grounding. The Nguni Skin Series designs are timeless enough to work in a traditional lodge or heritage home, yet bold and refined enough to make a statement in contemporary designed spaces.
Available on a range of premium wallpaper and textile bases.
Ideal for: Feature walls, upholstered furniture, headboards, scatter cushions, curtains, ottomans, and beyond.
African design is not a trend—it’s a legacy. The Nguni Hide Collection lets you honour that legacy in your space with style. It’s not just décor. It’s identity.
