Mountain silhouettes rise in layered peaks, each ridge rendered through brushwork that preserves gestural quality. Rohan interprets topography through Art Deco compositional principles where natural forms submit to geometric stylization and rhythmic arrangement.
The pattern depicts overlapping mountain ranges in characteristic Deco fashion: angular peaks, stepped ridges, forms simplified to essential profiles. Hand-painted execution distinguishes this interpretation from precise geometric Art Deco variants—visible brushstrokes, tonal variation within colour fields, organic edges where paint met paper. This painterly quality softens the period style's typical precision, introducing human gesture into otherwise controlled composition. Colours likely range from sophisticated neutrals to bolder palettes depending on colourway, mountains reading through tonal layering suggesting atmospheric perspective. The aesthetic references 1920s-30s fascination with stylized landscape and architectural ornament whilst avoiding rigid mechanical reproduction.
Printed in Cornwall with attention to preserving brushstroke texture and tonal variation that distinguishes hand-painted work from flat graphic printing.
Rohan suits spaces valuing Art Deco sophistication with contemporary softness. Living rooms, dining areas, bedrooms where mountain imagery provides contemplative focus without literal landscape photography. The hand-painted quality prevents the geometric mountain forms from reading overly stark or industrial. Works as feature walls or full room application depending on colour intensity and spatial scale. Pairs with mid-century or contemporary furnishings comfortable bridging period reference and current aesthetics.

Botanical Prints: From Pressed Specimens To Contemporary Wallpaper
Botanical illustration began as scientific documentation, artists translating three-dimensional plants into flat images serving both informational and aesthetic purposes. This exploration traces the journey from pressed herbarium specimens and watercolour expeditions to contemporary wallpaper, examining how printing techniques evolved from copperplate engraving through William Morris' screen printing to digital reproduction whilst maintaining essential character: beauty emerging from accuracy rather than imposed upon it.

Woven Ground: The Cultural Geography of Handmade Rugs
Handwoven rugs carry geography in their fibres. The wool came from specific mountains where specific plants fed specific sheep; the dyes derive from regional botanicals; the patterns preserve cultural memory encoded in visual language. From Persian workshop medallions to Berber mountain abstractions to Scandinavian restraint, each tradition represents centuries of accumulated knowledge, techniques refined through generations. This investigation explores how materials shaped by landscape, methods passed like recipes, and patterns carrying meaning beyond decoration create the ground beneath our feet.
