Behind the Scenes with Sian Zeng: The Art of Luxury Wallpapers
In today's episode, I get to interview the founder of Sian Zeng, Sian Zeng herself. Her story is amazing! ​Since founding her award-winning wallpaper design studio in 2010, Sian Zeng has become renowned for creating enchanting wall decor, characterised by dream-like illustrations that marry Oriental and Western aesthetics. Born in China, Sian Zeng spent her formative years in Hungary. Growing up, she was an avid reader of illustrated children’s folktale books and it was during this time that her love of drawing flourished. She went on to study Textile Design at Central Saint Martins where she was encouraged to research and experiment with new materials and techniques. This continues to inform her wallpaper design process, with original hand-painted artwork playing an important role in each collection.
