Grand Canyon wallpaper collection Pierre Frey

Grand Canyon wallpaper by Pierre Frey: feather headdresses, faces and hatching

With Grand Canyon wallpaper by Pierre Frey you bring the visual language of indigenous North American cultures to your wall. Sometimes this happens literally, with feather headdresses and beaded bags you could almost pick off the wall. Sometimes the image is reduced to a face with a stripe of paint, or to a pattern of fine lines that only reveals its rhythm up close. In addition, there are two calmer patterns, with tree bark from the forests of the Far West and the natural colours of linen. So within one collection you can choose between a wall that demands attention and a wall that plays along quietly.

Five patterns in the Grand Canyon wallpaper collection

The title pattern, Grand canyon wallpaper, places realistically painted feather headdresses, beaded bags, fringed pouches and pipes loosely on a black background. White, red, pink, turquoise and ochre stand out brightly. Shaman wallpaper reverses this: drawn faces on white, the hair often as a cut-out black surface, the faces painted in red, orange, green and yellow. Loose lines alternate with filled shapes. In Tatoo wallpaper the figuration has disappeared. What remains is a small-scale pattern of staggered chevron blocks with fine hatching, light grey on white. Keystone wallpaper follows the bark, grain and knots of trees in a hatched drawing that suggests depth. Finally, Stone wallpaper revolves around linen and its natural tones, with the reflections characteristic of that material.

Grand Canyon by Pierre Frey in your interior

In the photos you can see how the patterns play with their surroundings. The black title pattern stands next to a marble mantelpiece, a mahogany chest of drawers with gilded fittings and an orange velvet stool, which together counterbalance the busyness on the wall. Shaman fills the panels of white wainscoting, with poufs in the colours of the faces. Tatoo stays in the background, so that a striped headboard and cushions with a zigzag motif can carry all the colour.
