Returning to Milan Design Week, Calico Wallpaper launches two new collections Nuance and Perception, created in collaboration with interior stylist, Colin King that will be on display at Alcova’s Villa Bagatti Valsecchi. Through King and Calico Wallpaper’s ideation, Perception and Nuance explore the subtle layers of the past to create a timeless collection for the present. King, who is frequently inspired by the past, looked to generations of colour that span centuries, evoking frescos and texture for influence.
