It’s not every day that wallpaper can transport your mind elsewhere, but that’s exactly what happens when you visit de Gournay’s website. Its hypnotizing wallpaper designs transport you to 18th-century China or 19th-century France. Elegant and whimsical, these works of art are part of a legacy that was almost lost: the traditional Chinese craft of hand-painting silk.
