Marchen

Edith Cavall

Across a vibrant azure Strata Silk, large-scale blooms appear in graduated tones from powder blue to deep cerulean, their dimensional petals creating depth against the matching blue-green ground.

Märchen [noun] German; meaning fairy tale

  • The design “Märchen” (German; meaning fairy tale) is inspired by a combination of Nicole Fuller’s childhood memories of enchanting fairy tales, her favourite flower, peonies, and the artist Cy Twombly. These three influences flow into a rich visualisation of Nicole’s imagination, forming beautiful dripping peonies clustered across the silk wallcovering.

    The hand-painted design is presented in seven unique colourways true to Fuller’s dramatic colour palette, each named after a classification of peony."Marchen is several things to me; it is both an homage to the work of Cy Twombly and this delicate, precise drip forms recurrent in his painting, and a garden fairytale fantasy.

    “Peonies have a duality to them: they are exuberant and robust, while very ephemeral and delicate. The talented artists of Fromental have distilled these influences and ideas beautifully in my new wallcovering.”

  • Our collaboration with New York-based designer Nicole Fuller brings together Fromental’s hand-painted expertise with Fuller’s richly layered, expressive aesthetic — one that draws from art, memory, and fantasy.

    The design, Märchen (German for “fairy tale”), is a dreamlike interpretation of Fuller’s creative influences: childhood tales, her love of peonies, and the emotive brushwork of Cy Twombly. The result is a wallcovering that captures Fuller’s signature balance of drama and delicacy, brought to life by Fromental’s artists in painterly colourways, each named after a peony variety.
