Alissa Demorest / Formes De Luxe Reviving a Timeless Craft: Antoinette Poisson In the heart of Paris, just a stone's throw from the Place de la Bastille, Antoinette Poisson is breathing new life into a nearly forgotten art form: domino paper, or papier dominoté. This decorative craft, which reached its peak in the 18th century, is now being expertly handcrafted by co-founders Jean-Baptiste Martin and Vincent Farelly. Originally sought for restoration projects, their journey led to a deep passion for this artisanal technique. The intricate process involves creating sheets of paper that not only preserve the historical charm of the past but also serve as stunning motifs for wallpaper, fabrics, and various decorative objects. Domino paper tells stories of history and evolution, showcasing a sociological tapestry of style and taste over time. As production manager Axelle de Fabry notes, each sheet is crafted with care, echoing the craftsmanship of the past. Using high-quality materials sourced from a traditional French paper mill, the result is a unique blend of texture and durability. From wallpaper to limited-edition collaborations, including a recent partnership with Fragonard, Antoinette Poisson is not just preserving a craft; they are innovating within it. With an expanding range of products—from fragrances to home textiles—they are continually inspired by the beauty of imperfection that hand-crafted goods embody. #AntoinettePoisson #Craftsmanship #Artisanal #DominoPaper #InteriorDesign #Innovation #Heritage #Sustainability
