Toile de Ville Wallpaper - Bleu Lafontaine

Toile de Ville Wallpaper

Maybe you loved it and left it.

Maybe it's still your home.

Or, maybe people you love dearly live here.

Keep a piece of the city with you....

I spent months sketching the city of Montréal, visiting the landmarks and observing the architectural features that give this place so much of its charm.

Several ink splotches later I created my signature textile and wallpaper pattern and called it the Toile de Ville, inspired by the traditional toile de Jouy which first appeared as a fabric print in the 18th century in Jouy, France. It's continued to be a popular print, reinvented, reimagined and subverted by many artists and designers.

I'm happy to join the ranks with my own version, complete with a Dépanneur, Farine Five Roses, victorian architecture from the Plateau, a bicycle, and the raw feeling of ink on paper.

This wallpaper was hand silkscreened by an amazing team in a US factory that's been handprinting papers since the 1960s.
