I first came across Antoinette Poisson at Maison et Object in 2017. I was immediately drawn to the palette and authentic 18th century aesthetic. The trio that make up the company of Antoinette Poisson are historic paper conservators— creators of “Domino Papers.” Antoinette Poisson’s instagram feed is a walk through the annals of time, and an education on ‘Domino Papers.”
What are Domino Papers you ask? Well they are 14″x18″ papers that were originally used in the 18th century to line boxes, books, closets & hallways. A lost art until this trio of creative talent reinvented a craft that was all but lost in a world of mass production. Antoinette Poisson employs similar techniques to those used in the 1700’s to create reproductions of Domino’s with a unique interpretation that is at once captivating if not unarguably striking.
