Posters Bordeaux
Bordeaux as seen by our artists: the curve of the Garonne, the city plan and the patterns pieced around it. Each poster is a personal reading of travel, hand-printed on 270 gsm photo paper with a semi-matte finish in our workshop in Fayence.
Choosing your Bordeaux poster
Which Bordeaux poster should you choose?
Bordeaux comes in several registers, and they do not tell the same city:
- Bordeaux Place de la Bourse poster: the facade and the water mirror, in reflection.
- Vintage Bordeaux poster: old advertisements, a railway feel, retro lettering.
- Bordeaux map or city plan poster: the Garonne, the port crescent, the districts in line.
- Black and white Bordeaux poster: quays, eighteenth-century facades, marked contrasts.
- Bordeaux vineyard poster: rows of vines, châteaux, earth and leaf tones.
- Contemporary Bordeaux poster: flat colour areas, graphic motifs, a present-day line.
The filters on the left narrow things down by dominant colour, by style and by mood.
Where should you hang a Bordeaux poster?
- Living room: a wide view of the quays or the water mirror, alone above the sofa.
- Dining room: a vineyard or a wine advertisement, beside the table.
- Entrance: a map of Bordeaux, to place the city from the door.
- Office: a black and white of facades, plain beside the screen.
- Hallway: a series of three posters from the south-west, all the same size.
Tip: Bordeaux's pale stone turns grey under a cool light. Under a warm lamp it finds its gold again.
Bordeaux poster: period or contemporary?
- The period reproduction keeps the original drawing and lettering, printed anew.
- The contemporary version takes the same quays with today's line and palette.
- On a classic wall, with mouldings and panelling, the period version agrees more naturally.
- On a plain wall, the contemporary one holds alone without needing a setting around it.
Poster, print or picture: what is the difference?
All three words mean the same thing here: a printed image that you hang on the wall. We say poster because we print on photo paper, never on canvas. The same image is also available on a metal plate, in several sizes.
- With frame: black, white or light oak, assembled and ready to hang.
- Without frame: the sheet alone, to slide into the frame you already have.
