"Forms that repeat, intertwine, and transform, carried by an extraordinarily rich chromatic palette. Ornament elevated to the rank of pure art."

Context of the work

It is the first work to treat global ornament systematically and comparatively.

Beautiful images deserve beautiful paper

The paper is an uncoated matte 170 gsm. Its surface stays slightly fibrous, the ink sinks in, the light spreads across it. Colors keep their depth, as on the page of a book.

It is eco-friendly paper from sustainably managed forests, and printed as close to you as possible to shorten transport.

Hanging a piece is not the same as seeing it once. It stays there, you find it again in passing, and the day pauses for a second. It is a moment you give yourself, and offer to those who live with you.
