Collection Paris

“The world of today was born yesterday, in the fifties and sixties,” Dominic Bradbury, The Fifties Style: The Complete Collection , Parenthèses Publishing

The Paris collection initially found its inspiration in the work of a Parisian textile workshop in the 1940s. The Paris 1947 model is in fact a re-edition of wallpaper from an original gouache from 1947. Its sinuous shapes are reminiscent of the dancing line of a Matisse or the drawings of Cocteau.

Also featured is the "Modulo" design, released in the fall of 2020. This pencil and ruler drawing incorporates elements of 1950s design and architecture, notably referencing the Modulor developed by Le Corbusier, a unit of measurement adapted to the human scale, used in particular for the construction of the Cité Radieuse in Marseille . The Modulo wallpaper offers its own standard, and its five color options are designed with a very contemporary feel.

The concept of module, construction and the link with mathematics are explored again with the Escher Dream model, a tribute to MC Escher and his obsession with infinite repetitions and impossible constructions, using geometric patterns giving the illusion of a third dimension to play with the viewer's perception.
