DeGournay!

For my next collection, DeGournay will be my main source of inspiration... I took these photos from the walls at Bergdorf and then at my Aunt's house in her dining room!

DeGournay is a company/ type of wallcovering that originates in England. Though for the most part the themes and images depicted in the wallcoverings are of an asian background, the english popularized this lost art!

Each panel is hand painted on dyed silk. These two examples are of a chinoiserie scene.

Bergdorfs.

My plans for the collection are use similar imagery to create beautiful one of a kind pieces. That is part of the beauty of DeGournay, each installation is unique. No to rooms will ever share the same wallcovering! I find the scenes depicted to be so beautiful and peaceful. The collection will be a spring/summer collection titled, "Etherial Spring."
