collection
This captivating collection, created in collaboration with The Met, draws on artworks and objects from across nine of The Met’s 17 curatorial departments to create a rich mosaic of historical narratives. Each design is a celebration of artisanship, inspired by exquisite forms and cultural traditions. Following our first collaboration with The Met in the 1970s, we bring museum magic into the home once again in homage to history and the grand beauty of art.

Islamic Art
The Met's collection of Islamic art ranges in date from the seventh to the twenty-first century. Its more than 15,000 objects reflect the great diversity and range of the cultural traditions of Islam, with works from as far westward as Spain and Morocco and as far eastward as Central Asia and Indonesia. Comprising both sacred and secular objects, the collection reveals the mutual influence of artistic practices such as calligraphy, and the exchange of motifs such as vegetal ornament (the arabesque) and geometric patterning in both realms.

The Karanfil Block Print is a tribute to a 17th-century Turkish panel in the Museum’s Islamic art collection. The original source is a cut velvet featuring repeating stylized carnations. The carnation motif present on both the original textile and our wallpaper is a Turkish symbol of life.
This wallpaper is hand-printed with wood blocks on non-woven paper to create an eye-catching piece of art for the wall.
