Casamance Wallpaper

Casamance Wallpaper

Casamance takes its name not from a French word but from a place, a green, river-threaded region in the south of Senegal often called the country's garden. The house itself is thoroughly Parisian, created around the turn of the millennium as part of a textile group with decades of experience, and it holds to a philosophy that luxury ought to be the art of slowing down. Its wallpapers favour linens, sisals and the soft gleam of metallic foil, in deep, nuanced colours meant to become the classics of tomorrow.

Our bestselling Casamance collection is Le Velours 2, from the Casamance Essentiels range, a textured wallpaper with a sumptuous velvet feel that gives the impression of fabric on the walls. Légendes is a poetic portrayal of waves, forests, skies and birds from Japanese folklore, on silk enhanced with fine inks and embroidery. Square Jasmin pays homage to Hector Guimard, figurehead of French Art Nouveau, and Nuit D'Orient draws on the tales of A Thousand and One Nights, with metallic and iridescent inks.

The newest collections celebrate natural materials and craft. Modernismo is inspired by 1950s Brazilian modernism, with wood, linen, foliage and raffia, and Tressora by the basketry and weaving of South East Asia. Broderies translates embroidered florals and ornamental trails into relief effects, and Nature Sur Mesure Textures evokes marquetry, straw and raffia. Le Velours 3 brings a velvety softness with subtle light reflection.

For plains and textures, Le Lin 3 and Le Lin 2 bring the irregular weave of linen to the wall, while Select 7 and Select 9 gather the brand's most beautiful plains and textures by colour. Travel is never far away: Golfe Du Bengale looks to Sri Lanka and the Indian Ocean, Lanzea to César Manrique and the volcanic landscapes of Lanzarote, and Terra Rossa to the red earth of the Mediterranean.
