Ara

Ara plays with form and color. The circle is divided into bold segments of Beige and Olive , with a soft Ivory core that balances everything. The interplay between contrast and harmony makes Ara powerful yet tranquil—a design that adds character to any space without being overpowering.

Thanks to the combination of warm and natural hues, Ara feels timeless and contemporary. And if you'd like a different look, Ara can also be customized in other colors, so the artwork will always perfectly complement your interior.

As with every Pieces of Art work, beauty meets function: Ara improves the acoustics and brings audible tranquility to your space.

The power of a Piece of Art

We believe in a product that has minimal impact on our planet. That's why we want to minimize the impact of our artworks. The felt we use is made from recycled plastic bottles. Because the bottles are ground very finely, a soft yet durable material (fibers) remains. The fibers remain visible because the artworks are not sprayed or painted. This preserves the natural look and feel, giving them an original look and feel, and making them fully reusable after use.

Acoustics
Because the material has an open structure, it absorbs sound well. This also contributes to better acoustics!

Sustainable and recyclable
The materials used to make the artworks are recycled plastic bottles, requiring no new raw materials. After its life as a work of art, it can even be recycled again and given a new purpose. This way, the material remains usable for a very long time. A Piece of Art doesn't stop with just the material. Packaging is also important to us. We carefully check whether the materials we use are made from renewable resources, are partially or fully recyclable, so that the artwork has a minimal impact on the planet or is amply compensated. Beautiful, isn't it?

Colourfast and wear-resistant
During the production process, dye is added to the material. This allows the colors to penetrate deep into the fibers, creating an evenly distributed color that is consistent throughout. This prevents color variations with wear. The material is also UV-stabilized, meaning it will not fade easily when exposed to direct sunlight.

Maintenance-free
Because the pieces are made from recycled bottles and therefore plastic, they don't attract mold, bacteria, or vermin. Moisture is detrimental to the product and causes it to wear out faster. During a (children's) party, the piece might get dirty. We have some handy cleaning tips for cleaning it. Click this link and then the following question: Is the material easy to clean?

Flame retardant
The material has a B1 fire safety certificate. This is the standard in Europe. This means you don't have to worry about fire safety. This also makes it suitable for use in public spaces.

No harmful substances
A big advantage is the artwork's high cuddliness. You can pet or cuddle them without any problems, because the material doesn't release any harmful particles. However, too much petting or cuddling can cause the artwork to get dirty, so keep that in mind ;).

To colour

Are you unsure about the color or color combination? Below we have briefly described the colors so that you can make the right choice!

Ivory
Ivory is a soft, white colour that is best compared to off-white. This colour is easy to combine with other colours and, due to its light and neutral appearance, it looks good in interiors with light elements. Think of interior styles: Scandinavian, minimalist, Japandi, bohemian (rattan), Mediterranean, but also shabby chic, rural and romantic. Do you want a light addition to your interior? Then you are completely right with your Piece of Art in the colour Ivory. In terms of combinations, it works well with the colour Earthy Beige, but in combination with a black frame you get a tough look that beautifully outlines the work.

Earthy Beige
Earthy Beige is a sand color with a soft, warm and accessible look. It carries the undertones yellow, white and brown. This color will give your space a neutral and calm touch. This color is easy to mix with other similar colors, both with light colors and with dark colors. Also think of ton-sur-ton (tone-on-tone), for which this color and this art lend themselves very well! Your Piece of Art in the color Earthy Beige will quickly fit into many interiors, but if you were to include interior styles, this color would look perfect in a minimalist, Japandi, wabi sabi, oriental, bohemian, botanical and Scandinavian interior. In the Pieces of Art collection, Earthy Beige is the most used color and is often combined with the color Ivory as a work of art.

Beige
The color Beige is a soft, neutral and accessible color. The color can easily be combined with other colors, such as brown and white. The color is lighter than Earthy Beige and can be combined as artwork with the color Walnut and the color Deep Black. With these two colors you combine earth tones in an artwork, which looks good in a Japandi interior. But also in a minimalist, wabi sabi, oriental, bohemian, botanical and Scandinavian interior.

Walnut
The color Walnut is a warm brown color that is very similar to walnut wood and is used as a frame. Walnut has various colors as a base, including red, green and blue. The color goes well with the colors Ivory and Beige. Combined with these colors it creates a calm whole where the warm color gives the artwork all the attention. Walnut can be used well in a Japandi interior, but also feels good in a botanical, vintage, cool Scandinavian, cool minimalist, bohemian, retro and industrial interior.

Deep Black
As the name suggests, this tough colour is black. Combined with lighter colours, you can make it a bit calmer or add accents. With a black frame around the artwork, you frame the work, making it stand out more. Interior styles in which the colour deep black blends beautifully are, for example: botanical, vintage, tough Scandinavian, tough minimalistic, bohemian, retro and industrial.

P o p o f c o l o r
The colours from the pop of colour line are real eye-catchers and vary from bright (Sunny Yellow, Pure Green and Carrot Orange to the beautiful and soft colour Cherry Pink. In addition to these colours there are Ocean Blue and Forest Green. These colours are deep blue and deep green and give the artwork a subtle class and give the artwork a generous appearance.
