18th-century style, 21st-century life · single ink on cream

Old walls, new habits.

Copperplate line work, pastoral vignettes, garlands and follies — every convention of the classic 18th-century scenic print, rendered in one ink on cream. Only the figures have quietly moved on: they scroll, swipe, ride e-scooters and wait for the delivery courier.

Old walls, new habits.

01 — The idea

The joke reveals itself on a second look

From across the room it reads as a perfectly proper 18th-century pastoral scene. Lean in, and the marquis is doomscrolling under the oaks, pizza arrives by hot-air balloon, and the signpost gives away the WiFi password: JOUY1789.

“Rule of the house: every modern object is engraved in the same hand as the rest — nothing may look pasted on.”

Screens & Scroll

Gentlemen doomscroll under the oaks; a courting couple texts from the same bench.

Wheels & Delivery

E-scooters glide past the folly; takeaway arrives by liveried e-bike.

Games & Play

Kids pilot drones over the rose garden; the village dances around a boombox.

The Connected Manor

Solar panels crown the château; a satellite dish hides behind the chimney.

02 — Look closer

Hidden in the foliage

Each repeat hides five to seven anachronisms. A few to look for:

A lady dances in VR goggles, controllers in hand — The Metaverse

Questions

Good to know

How many rolls do I need?

Divide wall width by 0.53 m for the number of strips, then allow 10% for the 64 cm repeat. The calculator on each product page does it for you.

Can I remove it later?

Yes. The non-woven backing strips off wet, in full lengths, leaving the wall ready for its next century.

Do you ship outside the EU?
