The brand also points out that the true uniqueness of their wallpaper stems from a synergy between ancient practice and contemporary exploration, with fields like NASA telescope imagery helping to bridge past and future.

Lyric, an abstract depiction of the Greek islands and surrounding architecture

Sylvan. Created in collaboration with artist Lindsey Adelman.

The images shown here depict the designs “Lyric,” “Sylvan,” and “Eden,” each embodying different conceptual approaches. Lyric (third image from top) depicts an idyllic landscape of the Greek isles, an abstract sense of “clustered homes and meandering streets that meld into mountainsides.” Sylvan (above) is based on the life of the forest, the rhythms of sunlight and shadow and the interplay of trees and snow-covered mountains. And Eden (below) was created in collaboration with artist Lindsey Adelman, whose self-imposed exile on an island off the coast of Brittany, France manifested in a series of watercolor paintings depicting the region’s bounteous plant life.
