DeGournay: Hand Painted Interiors Book
Written by Claud Cecil Gurney
Renowned for its elegant hand-painted wallpapers and textiles, de Gournay creates some of the most beautiful interiors in the world.
We are so grateful to be featured in de Gournay’s new book Hand Painted Interiors published by Rizzoli. For one of the powder rooms of our Houston project, we specified Namibian - a wall covering texturally rich with gold and copper in a design of which deco dreams are made of. When the stars and budget align, we often specify de Gournay as they make interiors feel so special and considered.
Summary of the book:
Celebrated for its hand-painted chinoiserie wallpapers, sumptuous patterns of colorful flora and varied birdlife, the company produces additional collections that explore historical themes, such as nineteenth-century French pastoral scenes or exotic Brazilian landscapes bursting with wildlife. De Gournay also crafts more abstracted designs that fit well with modern interiors. Collaborating with renowned tastemakers from across creative industries, de Gournay works with leading interior designers as well as noted trendsetters such as Kate Moss.
