August Collection by Trove

Queen Elizabeth II’s Diamond Jubilee is putting the spotlight on the British monarch. But to what extent are royal leading ladies remembered once their reigns are up? A commentary on the collective memory’s ability to forget the minutiae of individual identity, New-York-City-based Trove’s “August” wall covering pattern features photographed portraits of past queens of Denmark, Japan, Greece, Prussia, Italy, and India, repeated on 12-foot-tall-by-six-foot-wide patterns and are available in five color palates. The company’s spring collection also includes the double-helix Chroma and the Otium, which recalls microfiche slides featuring images of broken umbrellas, eggshells, and animal skeletons, both repeated on 12-foot-by-6-foot patterns. All three designs are available on all of the company’s substrates, including the new matte foil wallpaper, SILVER, and use non-toxic, wax-based coatings and archival inks.
