01A name that travels
An art of leaving an impression.
Décalcomanie brings together the French décalquer, “to trace or transfer,” and manie, “a craze.” Even its name has a story to pass on.

THE ART OF CHANCE
02From decoration to discovery
Made to copy. Free to surprise.
A transfer process used in nineteenth-century ceramic decoration became a way for the Surrealists to welcome chance. Press wet paint between two surfaces. Separate them. Discover what appears.
03The beautiful unknown
What do you see?
A butterfly. A flower. Something without a name. The marks stay the same; what you find in them is yours.
You choose the colors and the gesture. The reveal leaves room for surprise.
04Now, in your hands
Your next surprise starts with a touch.
Choose a color. Fold, press, and open. On iPhone, responsive haptics bring a little of that anticipation to your fingertips.
