Description
The House of Liberty wallpaper collection draws on pivotal moments that have defined Liberty as a leading tastemaker and artistic innovator of interior design. Framed by the rich textures and relaxed glamour of bohemian botanicals lies the genesis of Liberty. Inspired by discoveries in the renowned archive: rolling panoramic landscapes, blossoming trails, and painterly ditsies are elegantly offset with sophisticated geometrics and sartorial details. Reimagined for conventionally and digitally printed wallpapers, the collection pays homage to a legacy of craftsmanship and artistry.
Celebrating Liberty’s return home for its 150th anniversary, the design house turns to its illustrious past, documented in the drawings and manuscripts by the pioneering artists of the time. Brimming with richly detailed, hand-drawn illustrations, the Liberty sketchbooks unveil the aesthetic legacies treasured in the Regent Street flagship.
Meticulously hand-painted in the Liberty design studio, in the heart of London, and expertly crafted using both traditional and cutting-edge techniques in Italy and England. The wallpapers include scenic murals, opulent wide-width bases, and lustrous grass-cloths, full of luxurious textures and depth of colour.
Discovered as a loose fabric fragment in an 1800s pattern book, Palm Parade offers a glimpse into the early days of Liberty prints. Carefully crafted using a conventional roller printing technique in England to create a highly pigmented appearance, this large-scale design showcases neatly arranged rows of stylised carnations evocative of Middle Eastern artistry. Printed on a heavy weight, high-quality paper in five different colours, Palm Parade is a timeless piece of the design house’s storied legacy.
