Description
Unami is named after the native dialect of the Lenape tribe, and it is Calico Wallpaper’s latest guest designed collection, created with artist, educator, and curator Joe Baker.
The tulip tree, known in Unami as Muxulhemënshi (meaning a tree from which canoes are made) was once common in Manhattan and holds an important place in Lenape culture. These towering giants can still be found at the far northern tip of the island, in Inwood Hill Park. Their distinct tulip shaped flowers are strangely tropical in appearance – waxen shaped petals of pale yellow, orange and citron green.
