Memoir Collection for Calico Wallpaper

Calico Wallpaper Brings Jean Pelle’s Childhood Memories to Life Through the Memoir Collection

Calico Wallpaper presents Memoir, a new collection by Jean Pelle, Co-Founder and Creative Director of PELLE. Based on Jean Pelle’s father’s old photographs, Memoir envelopes its viewer in an expanse of scenic landscapes cultivated by her childhood memories.

Memoir was developed from drawings Jean created with oil pastels, a medium she often used growing
up in South Korea. The artworks represent various scenes from her childhood. From rich textures of the
tall pink and white cosmos flower beds, to swaying green grassy hills and the dense pine forests, these
scenic landscapes represent Jean’s upbringing in a small South Korean town, prior to moving to the United States.

“My father would bring his camera on our long walks through fruit farms, wet rice fields with hilly forests making my brothers and I pose in the tall grasses or thickets of the pine trees,” explains Jean. “I’m thrilled that together with Calico Wallpaper, we can bring these vivid memories and snapshots of the beautiful South Korean landscape to life. It’s a large-scale representation of the albums my father put together of rich textures and memories of my first home.”

Memoir is available through Calico Wallpaper.
