Faubourg des Lumieres wallpaper: art deco geometry by Casamance

The Faubourg des Lumieres wallpaper by Casamance draws on the graphics and architecture of the 1930s. Everything in this collection revolves around geometry: arches, circles and circular segments, combined into patterns reminiscent of art deco and stained glass. Yet the patterns vary greatly. One works with calm planes in cream and gold, another with thin light lines on a dark brown background, a third with petrol blue and ochre. Metallic accents catch the light on some patterns. So within one line you can choose between a light wall, a dark wall or a wall full of colour.

Patterns in the Faubourg des Lumieres wallpaper collection

Vitrail wallpaper is constructed as a series of stained glass windows: vertical, mirror-symmetrical columns with arches, U-shapes, triangles and oval shapes resembling an eye, each with a circle in the centre. The planes are evenly coloured in cream, beige, taupe and light grey, with the occasional glossy gold section. Porte Dorée wallpaper consists of lines instead of planes. Thin beige stripes lie close together and form interlocking arches and vertical bands on dark brown, with a slightly weathered texture. Barillet wallpaper places semicircles and quarter circles in a grid of squares, each rotated differently, in petrol blue, mint, light pink, sand, ochre and dark brown, partly with a woven structure. Cinétique wallpaper interlocks circles and cutouts in metallic inks. Années 30 wallpaper returns to the strict geometry of art deco, with metallic details.

Faubourg des Lumieres by Casamance on the wall

In the images you can see how differently the patterns appear in a room. Vitrail covers an entire wall in a light room with herringbone parquet, where an orange console picks up the warm tones. Porte Dorée is set in three rounded panels, dark against a light grey wall. Barillet fills the wall behind a bed, with brown bedding and a light blue throw in front. This way you can use this Casamance wallpaper as a full wall, as a panel or as a backdrop for your bed.
