Who We Are...
Our founder, George, has a background in painting. His first commercial products launched in early 2014 - a suite of six hand-painted prints for wallpaper (including our lips, featured here in our 10 year anniversary robe x Far West Collective).
Over the last decade, the studio and brand have both evolved tremendously; our collections have expanded far beyond wallpaper to printed fabric, woven textiles, wearable garments, and whimsical objet.
Our aim is to research and develop fresh ideas for print and product design. We often find inspiration situated between the history of art, the decorative arts, and modern manufacturing methods...
Our business maintains a proprietary showroom in New York City with manufacturing partners around the globe. Our signature line of printed wallpapers and fabrics, woven textiles, and collaborative print collections are available for purchase through showrooms globally, and have graced the homes of designers and magazines worldwide.
We participate in Showhouses and Fairs: Our products have been featured repeatedly in Kips Bay New York City, Dallas, and Palm Beach, as well as Salone del Mobile in Milan and Deco-Off in Paris.
We collaborate with Archives: Sometimes we take readymade historical pattern documents and turn them into gold.
We collaborate with Interior Designers: Our studio develops bodies of work for interior designers who want to leave their mark on the wallpaper and fabric world.
We collaborate with Artists: Past projects include scarves for the Met Opera's production of Philip Glass's 'Akhnaten', costumes for Silas and Rashaun's 'Desire Lines', and a very special suite of wallpapers for Justin Vivian Bond's monumental body of work 'My Model: Myself', which now resides in the permanent collection of the Victoria and Albert Museum in London.
We collaborate with other Houses: We develop print collections with iconic patterns for heritage brands (for example, Martinique® Celebration with CW Stockwell's iconic banana leaf).
We collaborate with Hotels: We've also been known to develop bodies of work for hospitality firms, large and small, for hotels and public spaces, their interiors, branding, and apparel (for example, our psychedelic marbling for the iconic Hotel St. Vincent in New Orleans).
We collaborate with Fashion and Home brands: Our print partnerships with brands span ready-to-wear, home goods, and luxury/limited-edition collectibles (for example, CB2, and Brandon Maxwell, featured here).
We believe in Equality: Our business supports the #blacklivesmatter movement, the ACLU, and Color of Change through donation. We also contribute to the LGBTQIA+ centers in Los Angeles and New York City, and donate a portion of profits of the Trans Power Toile collection to the Hetrick Martin Institute in New York City.
