Toile de Jouy, a true madeleine de Proust

These pastoral scenes, these charming characters in bucolic settings could only find the ideal framework to flourish in country houses, and it is quite naturally that I imagined decorating the former rooms of the king's scholarship students with toile de Jouy, under the roof of the 18th-century house of the Prior of the Royal and Military College.

To wallpaper the walls of the College's rooms, I researched at the Museum of Toile de Jouy all the historical designs of Oberkampf and chose the fabrics in all colors: sepia, blue, yellow, carmine, green, brown... By imagining all sorts of products in toile de Jouy, I wanted to share a part of my intimacy, since the house is not open to visitors, thus preserving a private part of the Royal and Military College of Thiron-Gardais.
