Adelphi’s
Early-Twentieth Century Collection draws on the work and influence of
the Wiener Werkstätte in Vienna and the French Moderne movement--later
known as Art Deco--two of the most influential design schools of the
century. Designers in Vienna and in Paris inspired and influenced a
generation of designers throughout Europe and the United States, who
created a huge variety of patterns that combine fantastic organic and
geometric forms with a vibrant color palette.
Although produced by a well known French firm, the
designer of this quintessential Deco pattern has not yet been
identified. The subdued color palette and highly stylized but
recognizable trees and figures create a quiet and somewhat mysterious
tone.
This pattern is licensed to Adelphi Paper
Hangings by the Cooper-Hewitt, National Design Museum, Smithsonian
Institution.
