In a stunning collaboration, Ardmore and Cole & Son proudly present “The Tree of Life,” an exquisite wallpaper that draws inspiration from the iconic African Baobab tree, adorned with vibrant fruits, flowers, and birds. With its first unveiling in Paris in January, this remarkable design highlights the powerful intersection of art and design, rooted in nature’s beauty, and is set to debut in South Africa at the historic Mount Nelson from February 20 to 23, 2025.
This highly anticipated launch not only celebrates the collaboration between two distinguished brands but also marks a significant milestone for both. Cole & Son is commemorating its 150th anniversary, while Ardmore is celebrating its impressive 40th anniversary. Together, they are creating art that transcends time and geography, reflecting their commitment to excellence and creativity.
“The Tree of Life represents more than just a beautiful design; it embodies the essence of our collective journey as artists and creators,” said Fée Halsted, Founder of Ardmore. “We are excited to share this vibrant depiction of nature with the world, beginning in Cape Town, where it can truly be appreciated.”
Marie Karlsson, Managing and Creative Director of Cole & Son, echoed Halsted’s sentiments, stating, “This collaboration is a wonderful fusion of tradition and innovation. As we celebrate Cole & Son’s 150 years, we are thrilled to partner with Ardmore, whose unique artistic vision enriches our wallpaper heritage.”
After its debut at the Mount Nelson, “The Tree of Life” will continue its journey, gracing prestigious venues in London and New York later in the year. This collaboration exemplifies the ongoing legacy of both Ardmore and Cole & Son, inspiring interiors that resonate with the beauty of the natural world.
