DesignFile 004: Cole & Son Wallpaper and bespoke Furniture
Exclusive to Radford Furnishings, see them at designEX 2012

Iconic UK wallpaper brand, Cole & Son (awarded the Royal Warrent) and Australian distributor Radford Furnishings have collaborated with local installation experts, Wallpaper Express, to design a stunning, exclusive collection of wallpaper covered furniture.

The magnificent pieces have been created from different ranges including Cole & Son's latest collection, Albemarle - named after an infamous bohemian club that opened in London in 1874 - just a year before Cole & Son was founded.

The Albemarle collection evokes the glamorous and poetic era of the 18th and 19th Century, and each of the nine designs references a cultural icon or gem of the time.

Other new Cole & Son collection, Geometric, offers a selection of contemporary designs influenced by intricate patterns and vivid graphics. The modern range is a unique juxtaposition coming from a factory that still uses traditional methods. With the use of clean edges, clever repeats a trompe l' oeil effects, Geometric revives the mood of the 60's with its 'Op Art' geometry and explorations of colour, line, movement and illusion. The collection lends itself superbly to the ingenious work of Wallpaper Express.
