Mouchete, Candytuft
Overview
Our classic Moucheté pattern is based on the traditional Italian or ‘vein’ marble. Moucheté is an alternative name for this pattern and also translates to 'dappled' or 'mottled' which we think is quite an apt description for the most minimalist of our inaugural designs. This style of marbling was created in Italy at the end of the 18th century. Using a simple palette we have simplified this design relevant for the present day whilst retaining a look reminiscent of marbled stone - perfect for a period home.
This design has been digitally produced on 'Mica Coated Fibrous Non-Woven Paper', partially made from recycled plastic bottles. All inks used are water-based, non-toxic, and environmentally safe - free from VOCs (Volatile Organic Compound). These Mica-coated fibrous wallpapers provide a beautiful texture and jewel-like quality to further enhance our magical marbled designs.

Additional Info
House of Amitié is the vision of lifelong friends Angela Bush and Jemma Lewis. Having met aged 13 in secondary school and both having a passion for Art & Design we are delighted to share our love for all things interiors, pattern, color and marbling with you! The word 'Amitié' (pronounced "a mee tyay" ) means friendship, which is at the heart of our company. Angela studied Interior Textile Design at Wolverhampton University and held a career in Buying for 20 years in London, specializing in Footwear & Accessories for various UK fashion brands. Post-pandemic it was time for a re-think and move back to Wiltshire to be closer to family and her best friend Jemma. Jemma has been a full-time professional Paper Marbler for over 14 years. Having studied Textile Art at Norwich School of Art & Design, the route to becoming a Paper Marbler was a serendipitous one, taken via traditional bookbinders, who frequently used marbled papers inside historic marbled tomes, that the bookbinders were tasked to repair. Having worked with many high-end clients, it has been a long-awaited dream to create a range of printed marbled patterned wallpapers and fabrics. Whilst our first collection (launched in 2023) focuses on both wallpapers and fabrics, we intend to expand into a myriad of other products which we look forward to sharing with you as they develop.
Every new collection will contain a variety of designs, all based on marbled patterns. However, each collection will showcase something a little different each time - as the magic of marbling means the only boundaries are our own imagination! We look forward to sharing our obsession with Marbling with you all and hope you love the collection as much as we do!
