Calico Wallpaper is pleased to present Particulaire, a wallpaper collection designed in collaboration with internationally recognized American designer Stephen Burks and his partner Malika Leiper at Stephen Burks Man Made. Inspired by the objects collected during one’s travels, Particulaire serves as a gateway to diff erent places, cultures, and experiences.

The objects highlighted in this collection’s composition are more than mementos; the pieces collected through their own travels tell a shared narrative of global interconnectedness. Through a synthesis of art, craft, and community, Particulaire expresses a vision of design that is inclusive of all cultural perspectives and backgrounds. Stephen Burks describes his pluralistic design method, noting “My aim is to develop projects that bridge the gap between authentic world production, industrial manufacturing, and contemporary design.” Burks continues, “I’ve had the honor of working with artisans all over the world. Throughout these travels, I collect everything, especially the design objects of my collaborators. I love living with other people’s work and craft traditions. This passion has, ultimately, inspired the curation and development of Particulaire.”
