Named after the princess of Troy, who Hercules saves from the wrath of Poseidon’s deadly sea monster, Hesione is a dramatic wallpaper that artfully depicts her kidnapping and rescue as a pawn in the Trojan War. Implementing a technique called rotary printing, in which a giant cylinder is engraved with the original design’s negative before being dipped into a chalky ink and rolled onto the nonwoven paper, the mythical story arch unfolds line by line. But rather than being immortalised in marble, it’s as if each figure has been carved out of ink, allowing the golden foil ground underneath to shine through.
