Pascale Risbourg animates iconic Toile de Jouy

When they are not on a swing or on a hunting trip, what do the charming 18th century couples that adorn the famous Toiles de Jouy do? Pascale Risbourg offers a gently licentious result which allows a sensual immersion in a refined universe.

Located between Brussels and Paris, Pascale Risbourg creates luxurious wallpaper collections with eclectic designs. They borrow their subjects and motifs from nature and various artistic movements, which are magnified by a remarkable body of research. These collections, developed on high quality materials and sold on a bespoke basis, bring the designer to work with architects and decorators from all over the world. Alongside The Great Gatsby, Neo Kubist, Wild Artichokes and White Spirit to name but a few, Pascale Risbourg continues to revisit the iconic Toile de Jouy motif with humour.

When they are not on a swing or on a hunting trip, what do the charming 18th century couples that adorn the famous Toiles de Jouy do? Thanks to Admented, an augmented reality application, Pascale Risbourg gives life to these light-hearted characters who continue to unveil themselves and come to life. The Erotic Toile de Jouy wallpaper collection is completed by a collection of porcelain plates in limited and numbered series.

Three stories are thus delicately told when the camera is pointed at one of the three libertine groups. Either to describe the events that brought them to these lascivious positions, or to envisage the jesting to come. The gently licentious result allows a sensual immersion in a refined universe.
