The resulting Stolen Jewels collection distills the originals' bold sizes, shapes, and colors into striking graphic forms with a healthy dose of computer-age irony.
There's something very French countryside about Danish designer Lene Toni Kjeld's screen-printed Transitional Wallpaper, named for the sense of movement created by one pattern drifting into another. The design was recently picked up by The Collection, a boutique that champions girly wall hangings in Paris' Marais district. Available in eight different patterns and four hybrids.
