Home / Rooms / The Wallpaper Room

The Wallpaper Room invites guests to lie back and gaze at an alternative night sky, a creation born of the collaboration between Babs Haenen and Jacqueline Poncelet. Inspired by the question, “What is more beautiful than to lay on one’s back looking up at the night sky?”, the artists imagined Other Cosmologies (2021), a unique installation blending their distinct creative visions. This serene space encourages reflection, dreaming, and imagining yet-to-be-discovered worlds.

Marking their first collaboration after 40 years of friendship, Haenen and Poncelet merge sculptural elements with delicate watercolor paintings to craft a celestial experience. Their combined artistry transforms the room into a haven of wonder, where the boundaries of reality blur, offering guests a chance to explore new possibilities and embrace the vastness of imagination. The Wallpaper Room becomes more than just a place to rest—it’s an invitation to dream beyond the stars.

Babs Haenen and Jacqueline Poncelet

Babs Haenen was born in Amsterdam in 1948, where she lives and has her own Studio since 1979. To build her vessels Haenen works with coloured porcelain slabs which she manipulates by hand.  The slabs are coloured with pigment and rolled to form thin ribbons which are deftly folded, cut and sculpted to form expressive, tactile works with a strong sense of movement; the notion of the vessel, be it a bowl, vase or plate, is all but left behind.

Born in 1947 in Liege, Belgium, Jacqueline Poncelet now lives and works in London.
She is well-known for her early work in bone china, and for her more sculptural works in ceramics after 1980. From the mid 80s she extended her practice to include painting, sculpture, installation and public art commissions. Poncelet said: “My personal passion is for pattern and colour. I do not have a minimalist aesthetic. I believe that complexity can enrich our lives but should not overwhelm us.”
