Understanding that historic references bring depth and longevity to a design, Rinck’s president Valentin Goux drew inspiration from the company’s woodcarving studio and the large-scale draftsman’s sketches of decorative molds used in their interior projects.
“The Classicist Sketchbook” is available in six colors : Almond, Safran, Cobalt, Vanilla, Ciel, and Thyme. Rendered with two different-colored lines to illustrate the depth of the mold, the sketches express the size, depth, and detailing of ornamentation in the carved wood and in bronze. The original sketches were redrawn by Rinck textile designer and then placed across a repeat of three panels, creating the appearance of a page from a designer’s sketchbook.
