Themes

De Gournay’s wallpaper collections are informed by a range of historical and cultural references. Chinoiserie designs are based on 17th- and 18th-century European interpretations of Chinese art. Panoramic wallpapers are inspired by 19th-century French scenic papers, often depicting landscapes or narrative scenes. The Japanese and Korean collections feature motifs and compositions characteristic of East Asian decorative arts. Mughal designs incorporate patterns and imagery drawn from the Indian subcontinent’s artistic heritage. Art Deco patterns reference early 20th-century decorative movements, while contemporary and eclectic motifs introduce modern and abstract elements.
