ASSEMBLAGE Shares How Their Baku Wallpaper Is Made // Design Milk
Christian and Heidi Batteau are the husband and wife duo behind Arkansas-based ASSEMBLAGE, a handcrafted wallcovering brand that falls somewhere between art and design. The pair have nearly two decades of experience working with innovative methods that include marble dust, encaustic, resin leaf and micaceous powders. Each of ASSEMBLAGE’s wallpapers receive somewhere between five to 21 layers of materials, like 22 karat gold, mother of pearl, blue mica and bees wax, all in-house in their repurposed seed mill headquarters. Earlier this year, they released 29 wallpaper designs at HOLLY HUNT, BAKU being one of them. In this month’s deconstruction, ASSEMBLAGE takes us through the arduous process of making their Baku wallpaper. Take a look.
