Ombrage screen

Maison Matisse is expanding its permanent collections with a set of pieces by Cristina Celestino that brings Intérieur aux Aubergines to life through a collection of furniture and decorative objects.

The folding screen, at the center of the eponymous painting by Henri Matisse (1911) is the showpiece of the collection. The 3 hand-carved wooden panels and pearlized finish give it decorative style, in homage to the painting that is considered to be one of the artist's most decorative works. The patterns that cover the Ombrage folding screen are showcased by the natural wood frame.

The fabric used for the folding screens, like the fabric used for the wallpaper and cushions, are made from natural yarns by a renowned Venetian factory that dates back to the 18th century.
