Chinoiserie Collection

What is chinoiserie?

Rich in history and vibrant in aesthetics, chinoiserie style originated in 17th-century Europe by borrowing inspiration from Asian motifs, architecture, and materials. Whimsical floral and fauna are often incorporated into chinoiserie fabrics and wallpaper, while pagoda-inspired silhouettes and ornamental latticework are played up in furniture.

Today, chinoiserie continues to be a favorite among interior designers and anyone who enjoys traditional stylings. It’s at once new and nostalgic, with familiar designs that evoke the romance and glamour of faraway places.
