Brand: MerchFuse

In 1959, the myth of the legendary musician was distilled into a single, fluid profile that seamlessly merges with the strings of his instrument. This print showcases Cocteau’s signature line work, where a minimalist facial silhouette meets a geometric lyre shape filled with rhythmic, undulating waves of terracotta red and deep brown.

Choosing a size

Above a sofa, 24×36″ or 20×30″ makes the strongest single statement; for a wide sofa, hang two or three prints side by side so the group spans about two-thirds of its width.
