HOLLY HUNT Introduces New Collection Designed by Christian Astuguevieille

A collaboration with the French multidisciplinary artist brings surreal storytelling to a new collection of textiles, wall coverings, and rugs

New York, NY | July 2025 - HOLLY HUNT is pleased to announce the debut of a new collection of textiles, wall coverings, and rugs with Christian Astuguevieille, the enigmatic French artist whose career spans fashion, fragrance, sculpture, and furniture design. This latest offering builds on the creative partnership between HOLLY HUNT and Astuguevieille, who has been represented in the brand's portfolio through his distinctive woven rope furniture, as well as art and objects for over 25 years. Known for his bold linework and whimsical drawing style, he extends his boundless creativity to the world of interior surfaces in this new collection with HOLLY HUNT. ​

Comprising six original designs, the collection distills Astuguevieille's poetic and playful worldview into textiles, wallcoverings, and rugs. The collection draws inspiration from a rich tapestry of influences, spanning different eras, geographies, and civilizations. From an abstracted toile that hints at folklore to rhythmic, all-over motifs inspired by ceramics, the designs blur the boundary between object and artwork - an approach that has defined the artist's decades-long practice.

"This collection emerged from a long-standing creative dialogue with Christian," says Jo Annah Kornak, SVP and Executive Creative Director at HOLLY HUNT. "At HOLLY HUNT, we seek unique, compelling designers and act as curators of talent and artisans who bring a distinct voice to our brand. Christian's work is distinctly evocative, layered, and rooted in history and imagination - qualities that deeply resonate with us. We saw an opportunity to collaborate on a new collection that would translate the spirit and genius of his artwork into something tactile and alluringly expressive."

Trained in both fine art and literature, Astuguevieille first rose to prominence in the worlds of fashion and fragrance, creating fragrances for design houses such as Comme des Garçons, before turning his attention to sculptural furniture, jewelry, and object design. His work is unified by a fascination with ancient rituals, symbolic forms, and the mysteries of material culture.

This collaboration marks a new chapter in the ongoing creative dialogue between HOLLY HUNT and Christian Astuguevieille, rooted in a shared commitment to craftsmanship, storytelling and dynamic design. The collection is available now through HOLLY HUNT showrooms and online at hollyhunt.com.

The collection includes:

Les Villages - A modern interpretation of a toile pattern, Les Villages is a luxe velvet textile with hand-drawn imagery depicting bucolic country life. The sketches, which are original artworks by Astuguevieille, give the textile a whimsical elegance. Les Villages is available in four colorways.

Batons - A graphic wallcovering with a hand painted pattern by Astuguevieille. A unique interpretation of his drawings, the bold lines showcase his signature aesthetic as a statement design for rooms. Batons is available in seven colorways.

Village - A modern interpretation of a toile pattern, Village is an allover wallcovering with hand-drawn imagery depicting a lively village scene. The sketches are original artworks by Astuguevieille and create a whimsical and graphic backdrop in a room. Village is available in five colorways.

Inventaire - A sophisticated wallcovering with an allover pattern featuring charming pottery pieces, each one is hand-drawn by Astuguevieille. The bold lines and unqiue spaces reflect his signature aesthetic, a blend of playful and elegant, and create a backdrop that makes a statement in a room. Inventaire is available in two colorways.

Algues Rug - A rug that showcases Astuguevieille's unique artistic sensibility, a synthesis of the organic and abstract, graphic and elegant. The free-form, hand-drawn design makes a modern statement and adds structure and focus to a room.

Losange Rug - A bold and graphic rug that interprets Astuguevieille's signature hand-drawn artwork, distinctive in its modern and abstract sensibility. The unique shapes and two-tone color palette make it a sophisticated piece of art for the floor in a variety of settings.
