Edith Cavall - Marchen

The design “Märchen” (German; meaning fairy tale) is inspired by a combination of Nicole Fuller’s childhood memories of enchanting fairy tales, her favourite flower, peonies, and the artist Cy Twombly. These three influences flow into a rich visualisation of Nicole’s imagination, forming beautiful dripping peonies clustered across the silk wallcovering. The hand-painted design is presented in seven unique colourways true to Fuller’s dramatic colour palette, each named after a classification of peony."Marchen is several things to me; it is both an homage to the work of Cy Twombly and this delicate, precise drip forms recurrent in his painting, and a garden fairytale fantasy. “Peonies have a duality to them: they are exuberant and robust, while very ephemeral and delicate. The talented artists of Fromental have distilled these influences and ideas beautifully in my new wallcovering.”
