DISTINCTIVE STYLE
A cosy fireside still life or a fresh celebration of nature, how will you add individuality to your interior this winter?
By collaborating with established artists, The Monkey Puzzle Tree creates uniquely beautiful fabrics and wallpapers, bringing individuality to beautiful interiors.
Founded by Charlotte Raffo in 2017 after she realised that many incredibly talented artists were struggling to make a living, The Monkey Puzzle Tree pays a generous royalty to support artists to continue with their original practice.
All designs are created and manufactured in the North of England, within 150 miles of the Leeds studio, supporting traditional industry and ensuring that the fabrics, wallpapers and cushions are made to the highest environmental standards.
Each artist has their own distinctive style which is reproduced using a range of innovative techniques, from the centuries-old to the cutting edge.
Designs range from the vibrant and expressive, through to the dark, naughty, and the conceptual, suiting both contemporary and period interiors whilst avoiding the traditional and mundane.
The Monkey Puzzle Tree has worked with artist Alexis Snell, a printmaker who works with beautifully unique linocuts to create black and gold Passion Flower wallpaper.
The dark opulence of this wallpaper is reminiscent of gothic interiors, with twisting, muted gold floral patterns laid into midnight black. When the flowers catch the light, they come alive to dance on the paper and showcase the abstract print in all its glory.
The bold lino cut design has been re-created onto this heavyweight wallpaper using a surface printing technique to perfectly replicate the texture and look of the original handmade print.
Passion Flower works well in an alcove or as a deep border above a picture rail. It’s perfect for bringing a touch of dark maximalism to a room, and when combined with pastel shades adds interest to a mid-century scheme.
