The beautifully undulating lines of Art Nouveau meet soft tones of green and cream. Around the turn of the 20th century, wallpaper patterns like these became extremely popular thanks to their ability to create bright and cozy rooms.

Inspiration was drawn from the new idioms developed in Paris, Vienna and Berlin, among other places. The motif of foliage on elegantly curved stems is very characteristic of Art Nouveau.

The wallpaper was found in one of the rooms in the workers’ barracks in Gysinge and has now been reprinted.
