Natural fiber

An extra dimension of texture

100% natural fibers

Abaca, a botanical treasure from tropical lands, is a noble fiber derived from the textile banana plant, primarily cultivated in Southeast Asia. Light yet incredibly strong, it has been traditionally used for making ropes and textiles. When woven into a wall covering, it unveils a lively texture with subtle variations, interacting with light to create depth and character in any space. Its slightly irregular surface lends a natural elegance, blending authenticity with refinement.

Abaca printing is available for the entire Ananbô collection.

Abaca: The natural fiber redefining the elegance of wall coverings

In the world of interior design and decoration, an age-old material is reclaiming its place: abaca. This exceptional natural fiber, long prized for its use in artisanal textiles and marine ropes, is now emerging as a preferred choice for refined wall coverings.

Natural, resilient, and rich in texture, abaca is captivating more and more architects, decorators, and interior design enthusiasts. Its revival marks a shift toward authentic materials that offer both a sensory experience and unparalleled depth. At Ananbô, we have chosen to enhance our panoramic décors with abaca, revealing a luxurious, textured alternative to traditional wallpaper.

What is Abaca? A rare fiber with exotic origins

Abaca comes from the textile banana plant (Musa textilis), a tropical species cultivated mainly in the Philippines, Indonesia, and Ecuador. Often referred to as "Manila silk" for its natural sheen and delicate texture, this fiber has been valued for centuries for its strength and lightness.

Historically used in the making of ship sails and fine paper, abaca stands out for its flexibility and durability. Today, it is experiencing a renaissance, finding its place in luxury wall coverings that marry artisanal tradition with contemporary elegance.

The resurgence of abaca in design and interior decoration

Once confined to traditional uses, abaca is now enjoying renewed popularity in interior design. From prestigious hotels to private residences, high-end boutiques, and cultural spaces, it is sought after for its refinement and distinctive character.

♦ A Favorite Among Leading Designers – From Paris to New York, influential interior architects and designers are incorporating abaca into their projects for its aesthetic qualities and its ability to enhance light. Its finely woven texture creates soft, enveloping atmospheres—ideal for sophisticated interiors.

♦ The Choice of Luxury Hotels and Exclusive Venues – From Parisian palaces to exclusive Riviera resorts, abaca now graces the walls of the most elegant establishments. Its natural relief anddynamic texture make it a perfect choice for spaces that aim to be both warm and refined.

♦ A Material That Aligns with the New Aspirations of Luxury – Moving away from standardized finishes, abaca represents a return to noble materials and meticulously crafted details. It appeals to those seeking more authentic interiors, where each element tells a story and enhances the sensory experience of the space.
