Le Ballet is a field of precious palms, their forms evoking carnations or acanthus, drawn from the Pierre Frey archives. The paper is printed in the traditional way, and its support lends warmth and softness to the design, so the motif seems to sit within the surface rather than upon it. The pattern has the poise its name suggests: repeated forms in disciplined formation, with a slight, graceful movement running through the whole.
