Have you discovered Palladio volume 01 @zoffanyfw

Have you discovered Palladio volume 01 @zoffanyfw ?

To celebrate the launch of this iconic wallpaper collection we translated Design ‘Royal Exchange’ as a beautiful hand crafted rug. Woven with monochrome Himalayan wool and shimmering gold silk the effect conjures the reflection of sunlight.

This atmospheric and opulent design displays a dramatic and iconic scene inspired by a famous 1644 Wenceslaus Holland etching of London's Royal Exchange.

The energetic modernism of the Festival of Britain was the catalyst for the ‘Palladio’ collection of wallpapers in the 1950s, an iconic set of patterns by artists and designers. For its latest collection, Zoffany has looked back to this seminal moment, reproducing six of the original patterns alongside a striking new design ‘Precarious Pangolins’ by Royal College of Art graduate @samwildeworld.

Architectural inspiration French neoclassical bui

Architectural inspiration French neoclassical building Hôtel de Monaco in Paris built between 1774 and 1777 for Marie-Catherine de Brignole, the estranged wife of Honoré-Camille-Léonor Grimaldi, prince of Monaco, himself residing in the Hôtel Matignon.

Marie-Catherine chose this site (one of the last unbuilt plots on the faubourg Saint-Germain) so as to be close to the Palais Bourbon, the house of her lover, the Prince de Condé. The project was given to Brongniart, the architect of most of the mansions in the area and he decided upon a novel scheme, distancing the house from the street by means of an avenue of plane trees which still today leads up to the façade facing the front courtyard. The private apartments give on this courtyard and the reception rooms run alongside the garden which in those days stretched as far as the Hôtel de Biron.
