Hong Kong-based artist Elsa Jeandedieu brings together East and West in two richly textured new wallcoverings for Casamance

Hong Kong-based artist Elsa Jeandedieu works with prestigious luxury brands including Chanel, Four Seasons, Mandarin Oriental and Diptyque. Now, her textured, multi-layered approach has been translated into two mural wallcoverings for Casamance.
The story behind this capsule collection is, in a way, the French-born Jeandedieu’s own story, marking the journey between East and West. The artist works across multiple media, copper and gold leaf to lime plaster to natural pigments; Casamance has used all its expertise to translate these nuanced, highly textured surfaces into wallcoverings, using a 3D embossing technique.
‘Murmures du Mistral’ (main image, above) is inspired by the textures and colours of the sun-soaked South of France, where Jeandedieu grew up. In tones of ochre and terracotta (or a cooler palette of blue and beige), it is enhanced by hand-applied gold leaf.



Embossed on Casamance’s ‘Firminy’ chenille, ‘Danse des Sampans’ (below) is loosely based on the sails of the traditional junk boats that once plied Hong Kong’s harbour. Their distinctive red fan-shaped sails are the perfect subject matter for Jeandedieu’s ‘oscillation’ technique, which creates wave-like patterns with a loose rhythm that shows the hand of the maker. It comes in four colours – including the rust-red for which those original Hong Kong junks are known – and can be repeated infinitely.


Casamance regularly works with artists who can elevate design beyond mere wallcoverings. When an artistic mind meets Casamance’s technical know-how, the results can inject real heart and soul into an interior.
