Speaker Series: Author Brian Coleman | October 19

We’ll get a glimpse inside chateaus, castles and sleek, modern rooms where these antique woodblock-printed papers from France grace walls all over the world. Coleman’s research for this visually rich book, Zuber, Two Centuries of Panoramic Wallpaper, also led him to the Zuber factory where the manufacturer still creates in the highly specialized manner used for 200 years. He’ll share some of the book’s pages and how and where these scenic papers survive and continue to be installed. See panoramas that are like murals, some with flora and fauna creations, and some with scenes that illustrate the history of world cultures. This magical journey is Coleman’s latest design volume, and has been highly lauded, including in Vogue and in the New York Times Book Review.
