Inspired by the famous French artist Jacques Majorelle and his world-renowned garden and home in Marrakesh, Morocco, this sublime wallcovering features graphic arrangements reminiscent of architectural lattice screens found in palaces and temples from Morocco to the Middle East. These detailed configurations are emphasized by a warm natural color palette printed upon a precise, finely woven ground. Movement and light affect the eye’s perception of this timeless classic, which straddles the line between art and design.

Inspired by beautiful, hand-turned spindle designs used throughout Indian architecture for generations, Agra Lattice depicts a mazelike, hand-stenciled pattern with abstracts that play upon form, texture and movement. Smith has adapted the traditional spindle motif and has reinterpreted it into a rhythmic arrangement on rich, woven wallcovering that is as meditative as it is vibrant.
