Screens and scrolls have been part of Asian interiors for thousands of
years. When Quing Dynasty (1644-1911) furniture and textiles found
their way to Europe, a new movement – Chinoiserie – was born in the
17th century. Ornate and delicate Chinese hand painted wallpapers
became hugely popular. Fast-forward to 2003, when Milanese architect
Chiara Enrico moved to Beijing and Shanghai to explore opportunities there. One of the results of this exploration is
MISHA handmade wallpapers,
a Milan-based company that selects, produces and distributes
hand-painted silk wallpapers. Ancient tradition meets current Western
sensitivities exquisitely in the China Classic collection. The China
Graphic collection will be launched at the
Rosanna Samaritani Interni showroom in Milan during the
Fuorisalone, April 16-21, 2008.
