“It was important for us to honor each object, interpreting the artwork into stationery while also keeping as many of the original elements as we could,” says Senior Art Director Mariya Pilipenko (@mariya.pilipenko), who had a leading role in bringing our new collaboration with the V&A (@vamuseum) to life. “We took a bit of an editorial approach to many of our subjects—some, we lovingly reillustrated, making sure that every detail was captured.” She used watercolor paint to transform several pieces from the UK museum’s extensive collection, including these whimsical, nature-inspured soup tureens that were de rigueur at 18th and early 19th-century dinner parties.
