Design Inspiration – Thai Gems

Classical decorative inlay art is renowned for its intricately carved floral patterns and interlaced geometric designs, often embedded with finely coloured precious and semiprecious stones. The Thai Gems design beautifully reflects these hallmarks of inlay artistry.

Captured by renowned travel and architecture photographer Gerard Degeorge, this design is part of his lifelong exploration of Eastern and Islamic art. His extensive travels have resulted in a collection of nearly 50,000 slides showcasing the world’s most distinctive glazed and vividly coloured tiling. One of these captivating images has been reproduced for this Thai Gems edition.

Originally released in Spring 2003 as part of our Intricate Inlays series, Thai Gems returns to the Paperblanks® collection for Fall 2025. We hope Degeorge’s passion for the art and culture of the Arab-Muslim world inspires you to document the wonders of your own travels.
