We first came across Karen Combs wallpaper line NAMA ROCOCO in an article about a West Newton house in Boston Home, for which Lindsay Bentis of Thread Art & Design did the interior design. Lindsay framed individual sheets of NAMA ROCOCO French Dot and hung them in the stairwell.
Combs uses French acid-free papers and hand-mixed artist’s pigments. The painting is done by hand and printed by hand, using silkscreens and other reproduction techniques inspired by artisan practices of 18th century Europe and Japan. In fact, it was a Chinese scroll painting at the Met that spurred the creation of a wallpaper line.
