Peace offerings: Wallpaper* curates a minimalist haven

Design | 22 Jun 2016

We’re creating inner calm here at Wallpaper*. For our June issue, we embraced a Scandinavian, subtle hued and simple-touch aesthetic, with injections of colour, warmth and textured detailing. Our set was shot with natural daylight to achieve a clear atmosphere. For a moment of much needed tranquility, enter into our cove of seclusion, and discover the products that make it so serene...
