English to French translations [PRO]
Art/Literary - Architecture / Interior design
English term or phrase: Chinoiserie
J'ai déjà vu ce terme, c'est un style assez connu, mais je ne vois pas l'équivalent en français. Même si le mot lui-même est français d'ailleurs... Merci pour vos suggestions.
Contexte (collection actuelle de papiers-peints réalisés à la main) :
He has become known for its Chinoiserie, inspired by 18th and 19th-style exotic birds and flowers, as well as more graphic 1930s and 50s designs using a modern colour palette.
