Taking inspiration from a Greek drinking cup, or kylix, dating to 490-480 B.C., the fret mosaic grasscloth's Greek key motif is both timeless and elegant. A recurrent detail in ancient Greek design, the continuous meander of this iconic device symbolizes eternity and infinity. This wallcovering features precision-cut mica appliquéd on woven grasscloth. The Greek key has been interpreted as a dynamic allover motif. Its dimension and texture make it a refined yet eye-catching wallcovering.
This captivating collection, created in collaboration with The Met, draws on artworks and objects from across nine of The Met’s 17 curatorial departments to create a rich mosaic of historical narratives. Each design is a celebration of artisanship, inspired by exquisite forms and cultural traditions. Following our first collaboration with The Met in the 1970s, we bring museum magic into the home once again in homage to history and the grand beauty of art.
