Moooi’s New Wallcover Range

WORDS Michaela Stehr IMAGES Supplied

Lifestyle brand Moooi has launched a brand new Memento Moooi Wallcovering collection, drawing inspiration from five special and sadly extinct animals.

The collection is comprised of five different wall coverings all made from unique and interesting materials. With an ethos to be kind to the planet and others, Moooi’s new range pays homage to the animals that still deserve to be around. The collection offers a variety of colours and materials, including wood veneer, sisal, gold foil, pleated paper and textile.

Parts of the range are designed to tell a specific story, while others are made to stimulate senses and evoke emotion. These strikingly tactile and textile pieces make a statement in any space. Featured animals include the Mimic Moth, loving Dandelion Cranes, social Golden Tiger, fearless Pogo Goats and the Queen Cobra.

MIMIC MOTH

The Mimic Moth Wallcovering is a 3D wall covering with a soft suede look, inspired by the Mimic Moth’s shape and habitat. The wall covering’s design comprises embossed Mimic Moths surrounded by their favourite flowers. The Mimic Moth Wallcovering is available in four different colourways.

POGO GOAT

The Pogo Goat Wallcovering is a 3D wall covering with soft chenille fabric, inspired by the Goat’s yearly migration. The intricate pattern has us guessing how ambitious the choreography of the dancing Pogo Goats really was. The Pogo Goat Wallcovering is available in three different colourways.

DANDELION CRANES

The Dandelion Cranes Wallcovering is made from pleated paper, inspired by the Cranes’ unique colouring and fanlike wings. The tactile design comprises overlapping paper pleats placed in a pattern that resembles feathered fans. The Dandelion Cranes Wallcovering is available in three different colourways.

GOLDEN TIGER

The Golden Tiger Wallcovering is made from laser cut wood veneer with gold foil. Golden Tigers couldn’t bear to be parted from their loved ones, so the wallcovering depicts this friendly Extinct Animal surrounded by his animal friends. The Golden Tiger Wallcovering is available in three different colourways.

QUEEN COBRA

The Queen Cobra Wallcovering is made from handwoven sisal fibres, inspired by the Queen Cobra’s rhythmic curves and grassy habitat. The design comprises round overlapping shapes in a pattern with a hypnotic feel to it. The Queen Cobra Wallcovering is available in three different colourways.

“Memento Moooi is our third Moooi Wallcovering collection. It’s inspired by five brand new Extinct Animals that according to history were known for their kindness and love for life. Like our former collections, Memento Moooi is made from different unexpected materials, creating unique tactile experiences,” explains Christie Write, Moooi’s art director.
