Thursday, August 21, 2014. Another dimension for textile patterns: Barrisol. Is most known for manufacturing classic to spectacular stretch ceilings, but this innovative company's foray into decorative wall and ceiling materials (non-fabric) in association with the Musée de l'Impresssion sur Etoffes (MISE) at Mulhouse is what has caught my eye. The museum has opened its archives of 6 million. With the museum's rich holdings that span 250 years, the possibilities are endless. View my complete profile.

Too much the proscenium, you say archly? Labels: all fabric interiors. The World of Interiors. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Ah, vous aimez les belles choses!
