Tory Burch's Manhattan sitting room - Photo by Christopher Sturman for Architectural Digest
Quadrille’s Arbre de Matisse wallpaper and fabric has been used in countless projects around the globe and there is no question why. It is bold but the pattern and colorway offerings are as such to where it can be used in any space: from nursery to kitchen to den.
A brief history of both the print and Quadrille from Architectural Digest: Tasked with designing Woodson Taulbee’s Manhattan studio apartment in the 1960’s, American decorator Billy Baldwin found inspiration in a brush-and-ink work by Henri Matisse in which a jet-black tree stands silhouetted behind two women at a table. Baldwin tapped illustrator friend Jay Crawford to translate the Matisse into a repeating motif that Taulbee, the man behind Woodson Wallpapers, could turn into a wallpaper and fabric for the space. Crawford, who opened his own textile brand, Quadrille, in 1969 would eventually begin producing Woodson Wallpapers’ patterns, and the company has been hand-screen-printing Arbre de Matisse ever since.
