La Serre is a greenhouse hand-painted by Cedric Peltier, in which tropical plants, banana trees and birds of paradise thrive. The vegetal harmony is relaxing and the realism surprising: the painter's hand keeps every leaf specific, so the wall evokes far-away places without descending into pastiche. It is printed on a matt, non-woven material, which suits the subject, foliage reads best without shine, and the room becomes a conservatory by suggestion.
