Introducing Sinuous Line Wallpaper: Our Journey from Morocco to Your Walls
The sunlit medina walls of Marrakech and Fes are the inspiration behind Sinuous Line.
Reminiscing on my travels to Morocco and with color palettes inspired by Matisse's paintings there at the beginning of the 20th century, Sinuous Line seeks to capture the inherent beauty of earthen walls, painted and bathed in light.
The original painting for this design first became Warp and Weft, and in this iteration with Sinuous Line it features only vertically meandering lines. The color palette ranges from celadon to dark sapphire.
