COLONY collection from NOTTENE Nottene, a Philadelphia-based print and pattern design studio are pleased to present our newest collection of screenprinted wallpaper. The collection, called Colony, is based on research of colonial wallpaper, textiles, and stencil work from New England. Our interest in historical and hand painted wall decorations stems from our own experience of home ownership and the instinct to make a space one’s own. We offer a palette of ink & paper colors that work harmoniously together as well as with our previous collection of papers, Matchsticks. patterns: Stars, Lemon Grove, Bright & Cloudy, Falling Leaves, Gentle Tree (border), Bunting (border) — all 36” repeats, except borders • ink colors: Lemon, Turtle, Amber, Dusk, Velvet, Light Velvet, Old Gold, Gray, Milk • paper colors: Manila, Rosy Dawn, Gray, Dark, Robins Egg, Faded Bills, Paper

BRIGHT & CLOUDY This paper is inspired by big skies, but not the ones you find out
west. Rather the painted skies on soaring ceilings that can be found in old buildings. Hand drawn clouds buffet across walls, ceilings, the interiors of bookcases, or wherever you need to enhance that big sky feeling. Repeat is 36” & a single roll is $175, 27” x 15’, class A rated fire safety, nonwoven paper in two standard colorways: Gray on Paper, and Old Gold on Robins Egg Blue. http://nottene.net • nottene •
STARS A most subtle stripe is actually the centerpiece of this paper of tossed stars and
geometric shapes. The rosy pink ground is a new color paper for us, and its dawny reference makes us feel warm all over. Mix and match inks and paper for your own custom vision. Repeat is 36” & a single roll is $175, 27” x 15’, class A rated fire safety, nonwoven paper in Amber and Dusk on Rosy Dawn, also available in Lemon and Poppy on Paper.

FALLING LEAVES We almost named this one Les Feuilles Mortes, but the leaves don’t
feel quite dead enough. The drawings of the leaves are based on stencil work from colonial era homes. They were never colored quite like this though. The ink and paper have a real velvety feeling, and these blues feel just right for a personal space. Repeat is 36” and a single roll is $175, 27” x 15’, class A rated fire safety, nonwoven paper in Velvet and Light Velvet on Dark. http://nottene.net • nottene •
LEMON GROVE
Can’t you just smell the clean fresh lemony scent of this paper? The vine like branches and fruit climb gently and seem to play along the wall. The Gentle Tree border on the right makes a nice pair if you like to match (or share the room with the Stars print if you don’t). Repeat is 36” and a single roll is $175, 27” x 15’, class A rated fire safety, nonwoven paper in Turtle and Lemon on Paper.

BUNTING
Our first border style we call Bunting. I know, borders aren’t so popular these days, but we fell in love with them while we were researching old stencil styles and needlepoint designs. Then there is also the mixing and matching possibilities.... Limitless! Border is 8” tall, repeat is 9” and a single roll is $175 (3 rows of border per roll), 27” x 15’ untrimmed, class A rated fire safety, nonwoven paper in Velvet and Light Velvet on Dark.
GENTLE TREE
This Gentle Tree is a symbol of abundance. If a wallful of pattern makes you nervous, this sweet border is a gentle nudge in the right direction. Border is 8” tall, repeat is 5.25” and a single roll is $175 (3 rows of border per roll), 27” x 15’ untrimmed, class A rated fire safety, nonwoven paper in 3 standard colorways, left to right: Lemon & Poppy on Paper, Dusk and Amber on Rose, and Turtle and Lemon on Gray.

BRUSHES A slightly undulating pattern of brushstrokes that somehow suggests both
the sea and a cloudy sky. The simplicity of this pattern is deceptive, as it brings a deep warmth and intimacy to a space. This is one of those patterns where you can really appreciate the feel of the screenprinting, the ink on the surface of the paper. We quite like it in Milk on Manila paper, left, but you can’t go wrong with Ink on Khaki paper, right, either. Repeat is 22.5” Single roll is $175, 27” x 15’, class A rated fire safety, nonwoven paper.

SEASIDE
These drawings are from true life and the selection covers bouquets of flowers received and given, a boat from Wales, a float from the Mummer’s Parade, and a smattering of flamingos. Here, left to right, Ballpoint Pen on Robins Egg, Gray on Night, and Ballpoint Pen on Paper. Repeat is 22.5” and a single roll is $175 untrimmed, 27” x 15’, class A rated fire safety, nonwoven paper.
CONSTELLATIONS Have you ever looked up at the sky trying to see the constellations
and you discover completely new ones? Perhaps you can see some here too. Old Gold metallic ink on your choice of paper, Dark & Gray presented here. Repeat is 30” Single roll is $175 untrimmed, 27” x 15’, class A rated fire safety, nonwoven paper.

TOWN
This wallpaper is a hand drawn print of homes and buildings from various locations (Stockholm, Trømso, Denver, Maine, and Paris) placed together to create the feeling of a new place. A feeling of place is central to our work, and we are always exploring what makes a space a place. Top left is Ink on Gray paper and above right is Milk on our new Faded Bill paper (new colorway!). Repeat is 36” and a single roll is $175 untrimmed, 27” x 15’, class A rated fire safety, nonwoven paper.

HOMES
A hand drawn print of a variety of homes brought together to create a modern landscape with reference to historical toile textiles. We collected images of homes, farms, and barns during travels and from various references. Our practice is centered on the idea of collecting images and bringing them together in a space. Above left, Ballpoint Pen on Gray paper, right, Poppy ink on Manila paper. Repeat is 36” Single roll is $175 untrimmed, 27” x 15’, class A rated fire safety, nonwoven paper.
JOHNNY JUMP UP
Inspired by our notoriously wild little potted plants, this print is likewise a labor of love. While we adore the colorway presented above right, Ballpoint Pen & Gray on Paper, or left Poppy & Robins Egg on Paper, we are dying to print it in custom colors! Pick some for us to print? (psst...it’s a two color print). Repeat is 18” and a single roll is $175 untrimmed, 27” x 15’, class A rated fire safety, nonwoven paper. • nottene • http://nottene.net
BUTTERFLIES & POLLEN Abstract but with a classic feel, this print will float right
into your bedroom. It’s a lovely balance of delicate line work and textured brush strokes. It does beautifully in very restrained colorways like Milk and Manila on Robins egg paper, top left, while the top right is the more exuberant Poppy and Milk ink on Gray paper. Repeat is 18” and a single roll is $175, 27” x 15’, class A rated fire safety, nonwoven paper.
QUILT This print is actually based on tiles we saw in Paris, but once they were drawn
and transformed into a print they brought us right back to the quilt handed down from our grandmother. It’s the first paper we hung in our house. For a small space put it in Ballpoint Pen on Paper, right, but for a larger wall it’s lovely in Milk on Gray (new colorway!), left. Repeat is 30” and a single roll is $175 untrimmed, 27” x 15’, class A rated fire safety, nonwoven paper. http://nottene.net • nottene •
STRIPES
This hand-drawn stripe mimics the natural world through imperfection of line. It looks gorgeous in any colorway, but Ballpoint pen on Paper is ace, left. Ink on Manila on the right is nice too. Repeat is 22.5” and a single roll is $175 untrimmed, 27” x 15’, class A rated fire safety, nonwoven paper.
810 This print is for your kids room, right? What about putting it in that little closet
off the stairs? In Poppy & Gray on Paper, left, it will make you smile every time you have to pull out the winter coats. Also available in slightly more mellow Ballpoint Pen & Khaki on Paper, right. Repeat is 22.5” and a single roll is $175 untrimmed, 27” x 15’, class A rated fire safety, nonwoven paper. • nottene • http://nottene.net
