Pierre Frey: Textiles, Wallpapers, Carpets, and Furniture showcases Pierre Frey, the leading French producer of furniture textiles and wallcoverings, who seamlessly combines artisanal craftsmanship with modernity.
Enchanting brocades and damasks, luminous hand-woven silken velvets, traditional woodblock printed fabrics, and striking contemporary patterns transform into works of art. Pierre Frey, a family business founded in 1935, is famous for the variety and boldness of its inspired designs. It has asserted itself in the luxury market as the uncontested global leader in soft furnishing textiles and wallpapers.
Having acquired the venerable houses BraqueniΓ© and Le Manach, Pierre Frey possesses one of the most important private textile heritages in the world. The company has worked with prestigious institutions such as the Louvre and the chΓ’teau de Versailles, decorated castle interiors, and provides fabrics and wallpapers for elegant private homes worldwideβfrom Paris to Hong Kong to New York.
Drawing from their archives of more than 25,000 documents, which date from the sixteenth century to the present, this indispensable volume serves as a reference and a basis for contemporary inspiration to both professional and amateur designers.
