Earlier today it dawned on my to look in my own backyard while I was searching sites all across the web for inspiring wallpaper prints. In the blink of an eye, I found Hermitage an online bespoke* wallpaper company with offerings from all over the world. Founded in 2007 by Seattle's own Jennifer June, Hermitage offers a virtual place to shop for wallpaper created by emerging print artists and graphic designers (Jennifer is a printmaker, too). I am smitten with the choices she has curated. These small batch wallpapers are works of art waiting to be hand printed when you place your order.
*bespoke
adjective [ attrib. ]
(of goods, esp. clothing) made to order
After getting lost in a daydream of magical visuals, I inquired further via email and Jennifer mentioned that she especially loves that Hermitage is an online only shop because "Not only does it allow me to reach a wider audience, but it also gives access to bespoke wallpaper previously limited to those in the trade. I love color and pattern and I am very deliberate about the collections that I include in the shop, hoping to impart the fun and joy that comes with wallpaper." Yes!
I'm sold, how about you? There is a pattern here for just about everyone. Shall we plan to do a roomful, one wall, or just a large panel today (while we're having fun)?
the last one is my fav! although i am a sucker for all things boldly pink
ReplyDeleteThat pink against the dark grey is gorgeous, indeed! It reminds me a bit of glamorous snake skin, yet in a subtle way.
