Striped Textiles & Wallpaper

The story of a timeless and enduring motif

Stripes, lines, strokes… the stripe expresses itself in multiple ways. An essential figure in 20th century art and research around abstraction, a strong symbol in the medieval period as it was worn by anyone considered “unapproachable”, later the stripe retained its iconoclastic aura but with a more positive tint, imbued with freedom and fantasy.

As wall decoration elements, stripes impose dynamism and a graphic style. Modern, both chic and timeless, they take on a classic English feel, invite a stroll along the Deauville boardwalk, or celebrate the beach huts of Saint-Nazaire in Monsieur Hulot's holiday.

It is a whole imaginary world evoking simple elegance, old-fashioned holidays but also a rich history that we summon with our striped creations.

Stripes; bayadere patterns; striped wallpaper is a classic in interior design. Here is our selection of striped creations. We should also mention the fascinating and definitive work on the cultural history of stripes by Michel Pastoureau, published by Seuil!
