Dianthus Chintz Wallpaper – Original
Code - DCW004
Dianthus Chintz is an exceptionally detailed botanical print inspired by an eighteenth century sarong belonging to antique textile collector Karun Thakar. Charmed by its fantastical fronds and frilled dianthus heads, Lulu reworked the antique design to create a fabric and wallpaper in 3 colourways. The wallpaper design is of a slightly smaller scale than the Dianthus Chintz fabric.
The Karun Thakar Fund
As a way of acknowledging Karun Thakar’s generosity in allowing Soane to draw inspiration from the textiles in his collection, we initiated
The Karun Thakar Fund in collaboration with the V&A Museum.
Established in 2021 by Soane and anonymous donors, The Fund promotes materials-based, object-led learning, drawing on the collections of both the V&A and Karun Thakar and offers scholarships to student practitioners and researchers studying any aspect of Asian or African textile/dress design or history. By choosing fabrics from Soane’s collaboration with Karun Thakar you are directly supporting this Fund.
