Product Insights
The Escalader print by Anne Laval, a formally trained illustrator with clients like The New Yorker, reproduces her mixed-media artwork using wood stamps, gouache, and pastel via a 12-color giclée process that retains a tactile, storybook quality. Part of her 'Terrains de Jeux' series exploring urban childhood, the print depicts tiny climbers on a giant frame, evoking a sublime sense of scale ideal for a child's room. An open edition made to order in Denmark, it uses archival materials and supports a school in rural Nepal with 10% of each purchase. The 30x40 cm size fits standard frames, while the 50x70 cm requires a specific IKEA frame—a tradeoff for the larger scale.
