Nina Campbell | Farfalla

Farfalla scatters brilliantly coloured butterflies across a background of fern leaves, the darting movement of the insects set against the stillness of the fronds. Farfalla is the Italian word for butterfly, and the design has exactly that quality, small vivid incidents against a green calm.

It is made in the United Kingdom. A butterfly paper is naturally light-hearted, suited to bedrooms, bathrooms, dressing rooms and children's rooms that will grow up gracefully, and the fern ground keeps it from tipping into whimsy. It asks for simple companions, plains and small checks, so the butterflies keep the last word.
