A day at the beach, collecting tiny treasures and imagining where they came from—what led these particular mementos to cross your path today. Colourful, matte sea glass and long-forgotten crockery shards, smoothed by the waves, are joined by remnants of the natural world: an empty oyster shell, abandoned cone shells, a scallop, a crab claw, and a feather. And who lost their tiny pig and marbles right here by the seaside? Their loss, your gain!
Sandy blush, warm terracotta, pearl grey, creamy ivory, flashes of burnt orange and soft teal – these are the colours that settle across Tiny Treasures, a print whose palette runs entirely warm, with peach-pink undertones threading through every element from the sun-baked sand to the iridescent shell interiors. Because the dominant hues are essentially tonal variations of sandy blush and warm terracotta, the print sits beautifully against walls in the same analogous family: a deep terracotta, a warm clay, or a soft sand will draw out its sun-soaked richness without competing. For contrast, the quiet teal notes in the oyster shells can carry a dusty sage or muted sea-glass green on the wall behind them, grounding the palette without pulling it cool. Neutral walls work equally well provided they lean warm – a white with a distinctly peachy or biscuit undertone will honour the print’s temperature where a blue-toned white would flatten it. In terms of style, this print genuinely suits coastal, eclectic bohemian, laid-back maximalist and retro-resort interiors – rooms that collect things with affection rather than arranging them with precision. Subject and mood point naturally to a bathroom, a bedroom, a sun room, or a playful home study. Tiny Treasures belongs to the Hôtel Dodo collection, an imaginary resort built on retro holiday nostalgia and joyous calm – that "nothing to do, nowhere to go" energy translated into print form – and it pairs readily with other Hôtel Dodo pieces for a gallery wall that feels like a beautifully curated holiday memory. It would make a considered gift for anyone who keeps a windowsill of beach finds or simply loves the feeling of a slow, sun-drenched afternoon.
Printed using archival pigment inks on Hahnemühle Photo Rag®, a museum-grade cotton paper with a subtle felt texture, the surface is fully matte and glare-free, which means it reads just as well in a bright conservatory as in a dimly lit hallway, and suits both slim modern frames and ornate vintage ones without reflection interfering. At A4, it fits neatly on a shelf or within a layered gallery arrangement; A3 holds its own as a considered accent above a desk or beside a bed; A2 becomes a proper focal point on a bedroom or bathroom wall; A1 steps up to anchor a larger living space; and A0 commands a whole wall with the unhurried confidence the subject deserves. This print is also available as a 28×40 inch (70×100 cm) canvas, ready to hang with no frame needed.
Hôtel Dodo is a place, or better a tiny universe, that exists in my head allowing me to mind travel. Not dissimilar to the concept of a mind palace that makes remembering things easier.
My little universe is all about moments of calm, appreciating the little things, sun soaked lazy holiday lunches, beautifully curated table settings, and overall that “nothing to do, nowhere to go” energy.
Each setting invites the viewer to take a seat and the table, focus on the calm before them and be transported elsewhere for a little while.
