In the sitting room of Gaâla's founder, Kelly de Gaâlon's ancestral home in Normandy, France, the "Hunting Landscape" mural by Zuber has long adorned the walls. This masterpiece captures the beauty of the Norman region, a narrative echoed in Gaâla's Toile de Jouy fabric.
Designed through a collaboration between Kelly's brother, David de Gaâlon, and a talented artist, Gaâla's Toile de Jouy print is a personal tribute to this rich heritage and savoir-faire. The artists chose a delicate blue toile printed on sustainable rayon and luxurious silk, depicting a bucolic rural scene of horses native to the Norman region.
