Design Story
A finely detailed shell motif wallpaper created with the exquisite surface print mark to impart an appealing, hand-crafted appearance. The pattern gracefully dances across the wall evoking the mesmerising ebb and flow of the ocean. Viewed from afar it forms a trellis pattern, revealing the delicate intricacies of the design as you move closer. A perfect wallpaper for bathrooms, ensuites, guest cloakrooms and powder rooms with a stylish nod to coastal décor schemes. Reminiscent of the deep blue green of the ocean is Aqua. Try pairing its deep, inky shades with soft naturals, textured fabrics and bleached woods.
Available in 4 colours: Ivory, Verde, Aqua and Colbalt
Calico Shell Archive inspiration: Design for a printed chintz textile, England, 1760s–70s
The exquisite pattern was taken from a tiny, hand-painted artwork for a chintz textile that reflects the tremendous artistry of the British textile industry in the 18th century. The term "chintz” is related to a Sanskrit word meaning “coloured” or “spotted," and now refers to any cotton or linen furnishing fabric with a pattern, but initially would have been used to describe light, cotton fabrics created in India for the English market.
