Michelle Poonawalla collaborated with Inkiostro Bianco to design a series of wallpapers for their Goldenwall collection. Goldenwall, acts as the utmost luxury collection for the Italian design house and for 2020 they have collaborated with nine international artists and designers. Goldenwall celebrates Inkiostro Bianco’s techniques allowing them to print on Gold Leaf and Pink Gold, the resulting wallpapers highlight metal-effect base materials often mixed with the sparkle of precious metals.
Michelle Poonawalla’s two designs, The Flutter and Misty Flutter, take the silhouette of a butterfly, incorporating Poonawalla’s motif which has been present in her work since the inaugural exhibition What If You Fly?. The scale of the wallpapers has allowed Poonawalla to take elements of inspiration from her more recent explorations into digital video mapping. The end result is both a wallpaper and a work of art that creates an intense immersive experience, which hopes to push the viewer into a contemplative space of calm and meditation.
