Zofia Rostad, born in 1935 in Poland, is a renowned artist and textile designer, famous for her cheerful and colorful motifs. After settling in France, she dedicated her life to brightening interiors through design objects for everyday life. For more than fifty years, she imagined home textiles, fabrics for children and wallpaper. Her unique style is characterized by vibrant hues, vitamin-rich atmospheres, and a great freshness. Her collections often feature playful animal motifs, notably her famous cat drawings. She also places nature at the center with floral representations and orchestrated stripes. A true craftswoman, Zofia Rostad rejects the use of computers to design her original works. She favors finely prepared gouache, the brush, and meticulous calligraphy work. Her know-how led her to collaborate with prestigious French producers such as Tissage Moutet. Her iconic wallpapers from the 1970s, such as the “Pommes” model, profoundly marked mural design. Today, the work of this color ambassador is widely recognized internationally. Several national institutions preserve and display her graphic and textile creations across Europe. Major works can be found at the Musée des Arts Décoratifs in Paris. Her tapestry collections are also visible at the Musée du Papier Peint in Rixheim. The Mulhouse Textile Printing Museum has also dedicated important retrospective exhibitions to her. In 2012, her homeland, Poland, paid tribute to her with a large retrospective of her career. Her vintage creations—sheets, tablecloths, and duvet covers—remain highly sought after by collectors today. Zofia Rostad has succeeded in transforming domestic textiles into a joyful, poetic art accessible to all. Her universe conveys contagious cheerfulness through perfect mastery of color harmonies.
