Patterns with provenance.

Wrapping paper from the archives.

Every pattern in this shop starts as a single image pulled from a public museum archive — a Hokusai ghost, a Dutch still-life fragment, a Victorian fern plate. We isolate one detail, then put it through the same symmetry transformations that govern Alhambra tilework and snowflakes (the seventeen wallpaper groups, if you want to look them up). What comes out is wrapping paper that looks, at arm's length, like something you'd want on a gift. Up close, it's a small piece of art history doing math.

Printed to order on heavyweight matte stock. No warehouses, no overstock, no surprises in your recycling bin in January.
