The moment I saw Hortus Medicus by degournay, I knew it was the perfect starting point for our vision for The Morning Garden. We customized the colorway into a soft cantaloupe hue that set the tone for the entire space, warm, elegant, and quietly unexpected.
Inspired by 17th-century oil paintings once owned by Bunny Mellon and suggested to her by Hubert de Givenchy, this hand-painted design brings a sense of history and artistry to the room. Its layers of matte and opaque paint, delicately distressed, mimic the impasto texture of the original canvases and create a lived-in and timeless feel.
Working with the degournay team to bring this piece of art to life was such a joy. They understood the vision perfectly and helped us make it uniquely ours.
