Galerie: The Artful Life

It’s difficult to imagine creative terrain that Calico Wallpaper hasn’t traversed in the Brooklyn studio’s decade-plus history, which has seen husband-and-wife founders Nick and Rachel Cope practically elevate the medium into fine art thanks to their embrace of glowing gradients and marbleized prints. Lately the duo has been mining the infinite expanse of the galaxies for inspiration, which they translated into the dazzling Supernova collection realized alongside Manhattan interiors firm Studio DB.

Infused with cosmic intrigue and atmospheric texture, the eight-piece collection depicts star patterns that infuse interiors with a healthy dose of cosmic wonder while providing a personal portal into the great beyond. “This collection sparkles and unveils the fantastical universe we’ve imagined, deeply connected to the history of astrology but also the artistry of those who have reinterpreted it before us,” says Britt Zunino, who co-founded Studio DB with her husband, Damian. They went on to install it on the ceiling of their personal library—an ideal place to be transported into another universe.
