when it comes to any major design show, my mind always wanders towards anything pattern-based: textiles, floor coverings and yep, wallpaper- my favorite or all favorites. and to say that jocelyn warner is one of my favorite wallpaper designers would be a massive understatement. jocelyn will be introducing two new designs at icff this year: flora (a new wallpaper inspired by historical botanical prints) and bloom (a beautiful rug depicting a single peony flower).
jocelyn‘s flora wallpaper in slate (top photo above the intro) is my top pick of the new pieces- the matte black background looks thoroughly modern and classic at the same time. it’s not everyone that goes for an almost all black wallpaper but i think i could handle a small room of this pattern with a bright white ceramic chandelier (ala ms. paltrow‘s kitchen chandelier). jocelyn will be showing both designs at icff this year but you can catch more information on her work right here. [thanks, simon!]

I just wish her wallpaper was available to the average US consumer. I tried purchasing her paper in early 2007 and sent a note and was referred to a store in the LA Design Center who told me trade only. I tried Walnut and they aren’t able to offer her wallpaper so out of luck I purchased another brand. I still love her papers though.
oh that rose rug is gorgeous!
I’ve got black on black wallpaper in my bedroom (black flock on matt paper) which I love, but at the risk of sounding snobbish black-on-black is a bit everywhere at the moment, I think. Unless I just notice it because I’ve got it.
Random, but does anyone know what that charcoal gray armless sofa is in the first pic?
Luka, sorry you had difficulty buying our wallpaper. We have revised how we sell in the US and are changing things to make it much easier to buy. At present you can order direct from us and we deliver next day to the whole of the US. We also are working on getting our papers into the best stores for contemporary wallpaper in the US – stores that will sell to you direct and not only to trade. If you would like to know more please email me on simon at jocelynwarner.com.
Best wishes, Simon
ps Tracey I will try and get the name of the sofa and post it here.
