Nouveau Riche

Information

Nouveau Riche is an interior wallpaper collection narrating the interactions between the native flora and fauna of New Zealand, the introduced predators and their subsequent impact on the natural environment. 
Inspired by colour, opulence and the negation of minimalism, Nouveau Riche is a heavily illustrated collection that is a modern take on the excess and decoration of the Baroque style period. Bright colours, vivid motifs, and an overall embrace of extravagance is a novel recontextulisation of typically conservative representations of New Zealand flora and fauna, and empathises the severe effects of these relationships within the wider eco system.
