The thing I love most about trompe l'oeil pieces is that they always seem to elicit a little smile of amusement from the onlooker. After all, how can something that adds a bit of wit and whimsy to your home ever be bad? One of my favorite examples is Rita Konig's much lusted after faux-fireplace, featured in Domino (above). We can all use some lightness in our lives these days, so see below for a few more of my current trompe l'oeil obsessions. Here's hoping they add a little whim to your Wednesday!
Cylinder Umbrella Stand by Fornasetti, Unica Home; Wallpaper Frocks and Semi Drum wallpaper by Deborah Bowness
Vintage Camera Photo Album from Corcoran Gallery of Art; Face Lotion 10 x 13" tray by John Derian from Ampersand Shops
This room was designed by Nina Campbell (Rita Konig's mother) using Bibliothéque wallpaper by Brunschwig & Fils
Still Life wallpaper by Brunschwig & Fils - I can't seem to find this mentioned in any US source but it has appeared in some European publications. The "bookshelf filled with objets" look is unbelievable!!
How great is Deborah Bowness' work! just did a post on her today :)
