petitefriture > Wallpaper
Infinitely more sophisticated than a simple two-tone creation, Carole Baijings has entirely reinvented the Iconic French stripes with a shifting colour palette. Through her range of wallpaper and panorama prints, each vertical stripe is a line of changing colours that create a moving landscape when viewed as a whole. As in nature, the colour palette is alive and incandescent imbuing the panoramic view with an unusual sense of depth: "As with a painting, you don't see the same thing if you look at it up close or from afar." Carole Baijings' iconic signature, the flurries of fluorescent hues waken, excite, and catch one's gaze, like a flower in spring or a ray of light. Read more
Wallpaper Les Crafties - Mosaique / Red
petitefriture > Wallpaper
Three stories, three narratives, three patterns: Gaufrettes: inspired by the suppleness of fabric, it is one of the Crafties' signature pieces. Mosaïque: a tribute to Maison Picassiette, a house entirely made of mosaic fragments. Croisillon: inspired by cane weaving. Patterns used by the Crafties are indicative of a fascination for printing techniques found in micropublishing, in particular: risographs. The technique involves the application of successive layers (just one colour per layer) that are added atop each other to reveal the final pattern. With the design comes additional inspiration: textiles. Materials that the duo can harness to create a narrative in space through the use of wallpapers, coverings, custom-made textile decorations, fabric frescoes. Read more
