Houses Gardens People: John Derian Wallpapers

Chimney Swallows wallpaper, John Derian for Designers Guild

The Untended Garden Since 1989, John Derian has turned vintage and antique images of flora, fauna, and other natural and classical motifs into decoupaged glass objets, such as trays, lamps, paperweights, and plates. But his mysterious and beautiful world can’t be contained, and like an unruly garden, has spilled over with a fluttering of petals, wings, and fronds. Designers Guild has gathered them up for Derian’s first line of wallpapers, fabrics, and accessories. Masses of roses, variegated azaleas, amaryllis, chimney swallows, clouds, shells, and a collage of flora and fauna images populate his wallpapers and fabrics. John Derian by Designers Guild may have a vintage vibe, but there’s nothing musty about it. Images are overscale and come in a multitude of unusual and unexpected colorways and combinations. Also look for his decorative throw pillows and a smattering of decoupage accessories, naturally. To the trade at ID Collection.
