The story of a gentleman traveller, wanderer and aesthete with a lifelong passion for ethnography, anthropology and archaeology, The Home of an Eccentric Man is a magnificently eclectic home décor collection by Transylvanian design brand MINDTHEGAP. With inspiration ranging from Zanzibar to Medina and Jaipur to the North American prairies, The Home of an Eccentric Man is a tribute to the cultural evolution and heritage of mankind. Designed to transport, each pattern relates to a specific place or moment in history, reawakening the stories of ancient wonders, lost tribes and faraway nations.
Fifteen unique wallpapers combine the impact of a mural with traditional wallpaper repeats, while eight smooth-to-the-touch stone washed linens pay homage to global textiles, from African mud cloth to Navajo weaving. Taking advantage of Transylvania’s time-honoured arts and crafts skills, the collection also includes neoclassical-style upholstered hardwood furniture alongside beaded and tasselled lampshades, lamp bases, embroidered cushions and framed wall art, all encapsulating the spirit and wanderlust of the Eccentric Man. Intriguing and individual, the one-of-a-kind collection perfectly showcases MINDTHEGAP’s artistic identity, rooted in Transylvania’s diverse ethnic heritage and melting pot of culture, craft and tradition.
