FAIRE LE MUR - Wallpaper Exhibition

The design team recently visited Paris and attended the “Faire le mur,” exhibition at the Louvre. The title refers to the different uses wallpaper has in the construction and decoration of a wall surface.

Spanning several rooms, the show contrasted wallpapers from different periods, conveying the wide range of styles used in the 18th Century to the present day. The show also featured over 200 pieces from the French interior designer Pierre Frey.

With its vivid colours and highly tactile prints, Faire le mur truly showed that wallpaper can be considered a work of art in its own right.
