The word "paper" is derived from the word "papyrus", an Egyptian word that originally meant "that which belongs to the house". When the Egyptians discovered the need for a medium other than stone to transcribe upon, they found the papyrus plant, a triangular reed which grows along the river Nile. The wallcovering of this collection isn't made of papyrus reed, but it is also manufactured with great care. Small paper strips are coloured, twisted, then laminated on a non-woven backing. The result is a sublime multi-coloured streak-effect. The collection comprises 30 colourways: warm colours of sunset, pistachio green, amaryllis red, browns like coffee, blue light and transparant as clear water or dark and deep as the night. |
