CloseHaiku in Buronzu
The Buronzu colourway is hand-painted on metallic tea paper and conjures traditional gilded Japanese screens, providing a lavish backdrop for Haiku’s exquisitely rendered flora and fauna.
Created in collaboration with American interior designer Eric Egan, our Haiku wallcovering takes its cues from Sumi-e, the ancient art of Japanese brush painting in which the essence of a subject is expressed in the simplest way possible, every stroke brimming with meaning. The layout has a palpable sense of movement: the trees swaying, the water surging, the cranes poised for flight. And the presence of ancient Chinese motifs—The Three Friends of Winter (pine, bamboo and plum) and The Four Gentlemen (bamboo, plum, orchid and chrysanthemum)—acknowledge China’s profound influence on Japanese art.
