The Arty Walrus concept
At Arty Walrus, we propose an exclusive catalog of international artists whose artworks are reproduced as oversized, self adhesives wall decals. We call them Arty'Sticks. French made and finely printed, most of the Arty'Sticks are repositionable or permanent, allowing you to change them from a room to another and keep them when you move houses.
Arty Walrus, is affordable wall art for all of us.
The history behind Arty Walrus
Arty Walrus is primarily a family adventure started over 36 years ago !
Everything began in 1975 when Jacques Defossez, graduate in letter painting, created Decopub in Cambrai in the north of France.
Soon his mastery in letters and his original creations gave the company a reputation at expertise in high-end decorating advertising. This reputation has never been denied until today.
He was among the first to work with computers and he has seen the business evolve, painting disappeared in favor of the adhesive and tools have become increasingly sophisticated.
The conclusion then was that in the wall decals industry, as in advertising design, supply doesn't lack, but the quality often does. Impossible for example to find an online store with design and oversized decals, allowing people to have an affordable artwork at home.
Arty Walrus is, as Decopub in its field, "the high end of Wall Decals, " with high-quality printing, a client-oriented customer service and mostly exclusive visual artists (well-known artists or soon-to-be), seeked forat every corner of the world.
An over 35 years experience, a taste for fine arts and a client-orented customer service : here are the roots of Arty Walrus.
