Museum-quality archival paper

Designed in our Napa studio

Minimalist abstract wall art in warm white and grey — a single large greige field anchored low in the composition, separated from the cream upper half by two thin horizontal bands. The surface has a matte, plaster-like quality with almost no visual noise. Works well in a bedroom, a reading room, or any space where you want something on the wall that doesn't compete with anything else in the room. White frame extends the composition's quiet edge-to-edge.

Field Notes

Part of the Material Trace Studies — a series about surface, mark, and restraint. No. 02 is the most reduced piece in the collection: two tones, two lines, one decision. The thin bands aren't decoration; they're the seam where two material states meet. Think the edge where raw plaster meets sealed wall, or where fog lifts off still water.

Framed and ready to hang. Works well in a minimal or Japandi interior, or anywhere that benefits from a piece with genuine negative space. Pairs with No. 01 for a tonal two-piece arrangement, or holds its own as a single focused work on a bare wall.

Print & Frame Quality

250gsm archival matte paper with a natural white, uncoated surface. Archival pigment inks rated for 100+ years of color stability. Pine wood frame with shatterproof plexiglass. Arrives ready to hang with included hardware.
