The natural world, primarily the landscape of her native California, is what captures the imagination of designer Alexis Hartman. Patterns are translated from her paintings and hand-carved blocks into silkscreens and then printed onto linen and clay-coated paper.

Lake August is dedicated to the continuous exploration of natural materials and traditional techniques. Our linen comes from a five-generation family-owned Belgian manufacturer that upholds a tradition of farm stewardship, natural cultivation and sustainable production. Our wallpapers are printed using waterbased inks, on paper from a mill that uses renewable energy and responsibly-sourced fibers. We believe in the beauty of well-made things, and these details are what make our products well-made in the truest sense of the term.

A portion of each sale supports The Center for Biological Diversity, a non-profit which works to protect the lands, waters and climate that species need to survive.
