Bold, Fanciful & Curiously Unexpected

Nick, along with interior designer Danielle Rollins, beautifully captured the bold, unexpected charm of this collection in a campaign shot within his own home—transformed entirely with "La Menagerie"—and now offers fine art prints of these striking images.

Bringing The Story To Life

Together, Nick and Danielle  melded their unique creative expertise to illustrate the story of  "Le Managerie" with  boldness and unexpected charm.  This collection of eclectic motifs, novelty patterns and recolorations of iconic French archival textiles,  are designs for the curated maximalist, for a home that embraces lavish parties and surprise house guests, for the lover of exotic animals and caches of fanciful treasures.
