Maryland Toile de Jouy Pattern – A Celebration of the Old Line State
At Hughes Studio, we believe every place has a story to tell. Our Fifty State Project is a way to bring those stories to life through the timeless beauty of Toile de Jouy. Each design in this collection is inspired by a different U.S. state, celebrating its history, culture, and natural landscapes.
The Maryland Toile de Jouy Pattern is one of the newest additions to this series. It captures the essence of Maryland through detailed, hand-drawn illustrations of its most iconic symbols. From the maritime heritage of the Chesapeake Bay to the state’s thriving wildlife and love of lacrosse, this pattern tells the story of Maryland in a way that is both artistic and meaningful.
The Fifty State Project – A Celebration of Art & Identity
The Fifty State Project is more than a collection of patterns—it’s a celebration of what makes each state special. Every design showcases the landmarks, traditions, and natural beauty that define a place, making this project a visual exploration of the United States.
Each illustration is drawn in the classic Toile de Jouy style, using fine engraving-style linework to create a rich and detailed design. While each state has unique elements, the consistent style ties the whole collection together, reminding us of the common threads that connect us all.
Whether you have a deep connection to a particular state, love classic patterns, or appreciate meaningful design, the Fifty State Project is an invitation to celebrate the places that shape our lives.
