Galerie Magazine: The Most Brilliant Product Collaborations at Milan Design Week

Stephen Burks often travels the world to discover the transformative power of traditional craft techniques—and how to incorporate them into the objects and furnishings he designs for Stephen Burks Man Made, the studio he runs with work-and-life partner Malika Leiper. “I’ve had the honor of working with artisans all over the world,” Burks says. “Throughout these travels, I collect everything, especially the design objects of my collaborators.” These keepsakes now inspire a whimsical new line of wall coverings for Calico Wallpaper, the Brooklyn purveyor of bespoke wallpapers founded by Nick and Rachel Cope. The collection, available in ten colorways with travel-themed names such as Bazaar, Memento, and Caravan, is a joyful commingling of Burks’s biggest inspirations in an entirely new medium.
