PEAKE CHIC

Hermès’ wonderful new ‘Nigel’s Tartan’ wallpaper by Irish illustrator Nigel Peake charmed us all here at ELLE Decoration (you may have spotted it in our How to Decorate special last month), and led us to investigate other work. As well as infographics for ‘The New York Times’, Christmas cards for the Tate and published books of his sketches, Peake’s collaboration with Hermès goes way back. He has produced scarves, fabrics and window displays for the French fashion house, and this autumn’s collection includes a trio of large wallpaper panels entitled ‘A Walk in the City’. Both measuring 1.4 by 2.4 metres, they can be framed and displayed like art. £730 each ( hermes.com; nigelpeake.com).
