Ultimate functionality for office or as a field notebook (cool, even if you're never planning to be in the "field"). Rhodia has been around for 75 years, although no one at my office has one...YET (I'm planning to be the first)! I think it's even more fabulous when paired with the circa notebook system.</span></p><br />

I can't be sure which came first in my case, seeing the wallpaper or hearing the story {perhaps it's appearance in the restroom of Kate Spade, one of my favorite muses}. I fell in love with it's whimsy and panache at once and have been following it's appearances ever since.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times,'Times New Roman',serif;">The story begins as Gino Circiello leaves his home in Capri and immagrates to New York. Franco Scalamandre, founder of Scalamandre textiles, becomes a patron and enables the creation of Gino Restaurant. At the request of Gino a hunting inspired wallpaper was designed by Franco's wife, Flora Scalamandre. Gino's was a sensation! The likes of Frank Sinatra, Ed Sullivan, Gregory Peck, Jackie O, and Ralph Lauren were regulars. The place had a bit of a "Cheers" feeling to it, the long time staff knew their frequent diners by name.</span></span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times,'Times New Roman',serif;">My Scalamandre zebra stalking continued when they re-released the wallpaper in 2007 as part of the Cabinet de Curiosities collection. The original, or should I say "re-original" wallpaper's smaller zebra was missing a noticeable stripe on his derriere {look just left of Chris's head and you'll see it}. The 2007 release had the stripe corrected, I can't quite decide if I think that was a good decision or not. There's something enticing about the imperfect, quaint, and time honored. Additionally the new release is available in 4 colorways. </span></span><br />

I love the wallpaper used in in small nooks, hallways, and bathrooms. Droves of key designers have used this venerable paper in their work, if you have examples of any others please let me know so I can keep on stalking!<br />
