About the Artist
Paul Poiret was one of the most influential Parisian couturiers of the early 20th century, renowned for revolutionizing fashion with bold color and modern forms. His creative vision extended into interior design, where he founded Atelier Martine in 1911 to nurture young artists and produce innovative patterns for everyday objects and spaces. This approach reflected Poiret’s belief that art and design should enrich all aspects of life, not just clothing.
The 1919 design featured here is a product of Atelier Martine’s mission to bring fresh, accessible beauty into postwar Parisian homes. At a time when the city was seeking renewal after World War I, Poiret’s workshop offered a sense of optimism and modernity, bridging the lyrical qualities of late Art Nouveau with the emerging clarity of Art Deco. For collectors and design enthusiasts, works like this mark a pivotal transition in French decorative arts.
The Artwork
Created during a period of cultural revival, this piece was intended to enliven interiors with rhythmic natural motifs. Rather than focusing on botanical accuracy, the design transforms foliage into a repeating decorative element, suitable for wallpapers, textiles, or printed plates. Its purpose was to infuse everyday environments with a sense of harmony and cheerful color, reflecting the Atelier Martine ethos of making art part of daily life.

Style & Characteristics
The artwork features stylized branches and leaves arranged in a flowing, repeating pattern. The forms are simplified and graphic, emphasizing ornament and movement over realism. A warm palette of orange, yellow, pink, and green stands out against a light beige background, creating a lively yet balanced composition. The overall mood is optimistic and inviting, making it ideal for a fine art print that enlivens a space without overwhelming it.

In Interior Design
This vintage print brings a gentle lift of color and a touch of Parisian design history to living rooms, bedrooms, or hallways. It pairs beautifully with light woods, brass accents, and linen textiles, and complements both classic and contemporary interiors. To echo its palette, incorporate muted greens, ochres, or blush tones in your decor, while keeping walls in cream or warm white. It also works well in gallery wall arrangements alongside classic art and other patterned pieces, especially in eclectic or Art Deco-inspired spaces.
