A passion project from Founder and Artistic Director Iris Wang, Temae was a labor of love. Iris set forth to create a simple yet organic wallcovering and quickly became fascinated with the little squares in this design. Diligent in her pursuit to find a suitable layout, hours of painting went into developing this piece. During her studies, a calm came over Iris as her mind found peace in the process. This stillness reminded her of a Japanese tea ceremony, which later became the inspiration for the name TE-MA-E, meaning the tea ceremony preparation. Temae is a subtle but visible pattern when viewed up close but becomes more textural from afar. This 54” width 2-color pass wallcovering is a Phthalate-Free, Type II Vinyl with an Osnaburg backing, a handmade look, showcasing the artistry behind each stroke. With nuanced subtlety, hundreds of unique squares combine to create this pattern. In 8 organic colorways like Cardamon and Whistling Kettle, this textural wallcovering is an optimal choice for residential and hospitality interiors. Show more
