You can cut the widths to adapt the dimension to your wall. A French invention,
panoramic wallpaper has gone through several waves of crazes, most often related
to the health of the wallpaper industry. Its very first appearance goes back to
the end of the 18th century, its expansion to the Restoration and its last
breaths in the 1970/1980s. Considered to be old-hat at the end ofthe 1980s by an
exaggeration of its initial interest, to open a artificial window to a realistic
or fantasyexterior, the style disappeared with the photographic models
caricaturing the natures of the «Four Seasons» (snow-capped summits,
flamboyant sunsets, etc.) The new Domestic landscapes propose rehabilitating and
reintroducing monumental decors with panoramic wallpaper by making a clean sweep
of the photographic tracks explored in the past and by proposing about
10 artists, designers or graphic artists to create contemporary decors which
today can justify rehabilitating this type of decor. Imagined and designed by
+41, Coco Tassel, Dylan Martorell, Elisabeth Arkhipoff, Geneviève Gauckler, Ich
& Kar, Jeremyville, Jon Burgerman, Klaus Haapaniemi, Kustaa Saksi, Mark
Verhaagen, matali crasset, Pandarosa, Pierre Marie, Rolito, Ryan Cox, Studio
Job, Tado, Timorous beasties the decors in this initial collection economise on
large openings to landscapes that are sometimes dreamlike,or introspective,
urban or pastoral, nostalgic or prospective and, most of the time, on a nature
or a world dreamed of and inhabited by fantasy creatures. Printed on
high-quality intissé paper, each decor is 4 metres wide by 3 metres high and
comes in the form of eight strips to be assembled. All the decors can be cut
downwards and across to adapt to all sizes of walls. Limited edition to
100 numbered pieces per year and signed by the artist.
