Storm of Stones and Shadows
In Storm of Stones and Shadows, artist Magnus Gjoen constructs a scenography suspended between ruin and reconstruction, between the echo of lost classicism and the embrace of contemporary sensitivity.
Created in collaboration with MaVoix, this fresco-like wallpaper is a refined juxtaposition: Roman ruins evoked in the style of Piranesi, immersed in a layered, almost liquid visual matter that drifts between ikat patterns, tonal gradients, and camouflaged atmospheres.
The result is a fresco that belongs to no era, yet contains them all.
Gjoen envisions a landscape poised between past and future, between memory and dissolution, where architecture becomes a metaphor for beauty that endures through transformation.
“I wanted to create something that felt both ancient and modern,” explains Gjoen. “A point of transition where the past dissolves into the present in an almost dreamlike way.”
The design moves like a waking dream, guiding the eye through deconstructed visuals and ethereal tones.
A narrative camouflage seeps through the background — a presence that both reveals and conceals itself, inviting exploration.
In this color edition, the wallpaper adopts an elegant, tactile palette: muted reds, off-whites, soft ochres, and burnt shades layered into a visual landscape reminiscent of ancient plaster eroded by time.
White filigrees appear sculpted by light, while the composition plays with depth and transparency.
The Creta Rossa Edition is silent yet powerful, ideal for sophisticated interiors where time itself becomes part of the décor.
