Product Insights
Anne Laval's Jouer print, part of a series on children's play in urban spaces, deliberately renders the human figure tiny to emphasize nature's scale. Created with hand-painted gouache stamps and pastel details, it is printed on FSC-certified archival matte paper using a 12-color pigment ink system for over 100 years of color stability, though long-term display requires UV-filtered framing and low humidity. The open edition, made-to-order in Denmark, offers fresh stock and supports charitable projects like building a school in Nepal. The matte finish reduces glare for bright rooms but softens colors compared to glossy alternatives.
