Description
Celebrating the wonder of the natural world, Botanical Atlas showcases an eclectic array of flora and fauna, crafted with timeless elegance and hued in rich, sophisticated colour palettes. This season takes us on a global voyage and an exploration of magical and fantastical forms. Following Sir Arthur Liberty’s passion for discovery, the collection references his remarkable expeditions to Japan, China, Persia and India during the 1880s-1910s. From trailing Chinoiserie motifs, through to miniature Persian Garden illustrations, Indian Moghul painting and art from the Japanese Edo period, this intrinsically Liberty collection reinterprets traditional techniques with modern accents.
The cross-pollination of styles creates fascinating visual narratives. Rare specimens, sculptural leaves, magnificent flowers, and imaginary forests are juxtaposed with tranquil stripes and mesmerising geometrics.
Meticulously hand-painted in the Liberty Design Studio, in the heart of London, and expertly printed, using traditional and cutting-edge techniques in England and Italy. The wallpapers include delicately textured metallics to lustrous grass-cloths full of luxurious textures and depth of colour.
Hand-painted in the Liberty Design Studio, Magical Plants takes us on a fantastical journey of botanical discovery. Inspired by the historic tradition of studied illustration, exquisite natural forms come together to create a majestic trailing garden. Magnolias, Fuchsia, Wisteria, Lily of the valley, White Dogwood, and Nutmeg adorn the graceful leafy branches which skillfully combine scientific accuracy with artistic sensibility. Printed on a super wide-width textured ground with subtle lustre and sheen.
