Cole And Son

Satara Camp in Kruger National Park is known for its Big Cats. It was here that a magical scene of a mother leopard and her cub climbing into a tree was witnessed. Sataracaptures the leopard's fiercely protective maternal instinct as she helps her cub to the next branch.

This peaceful design includes fans of leaves and curving trunks and vines, all richly ornamented with precise stripes and scallops. The leopards' fur has a more untamed pattern, in tawny orange, soft metallic gold and bronze, as well as a ghostly mica sheen, as if in a dreamscape.

One of the most beloved and iconic Cole & Son wallpapers has been reintroduced to reveal two brand new colourings.

Alongside the classic duck egg, soft blue and cream grounds, two additional renderings include jewel toned birds fluttering on a dramatic indigo blue ground and softer prettier birds on a delicate ivory. These new versions of Hummingbirds are produced on a non-woven base paper.

Beautifully hand-rendered with a soft, watery paint mark, Croquet Stripe captures the serene calmness and tranquillity of water colour movement.

The much-loved Chiavi Segrete combines two influential Fornasetti motifs: mystical, dense leaves concealing golden, antique keys.

This fanciful design has a magical quality, drawing the eye through and around the leaves to discover each of the ‘secret keys’ hidden within. Muted shades give way to true-to-life tones of spring undergrowth, with seasonal twists of autumnal leaves and wintery greys.

Marquee Stripe is a beautiful hand-rendered design inspired by pottery. Soft and serene, this stripe captures the beauty of artistic brush markings.

Leaves, fronds and flowers form a lush and peaceful labyrinth within Hoopoe Leaves canopy; a closer glance revealing nature's bustling wonder. What appear to be blossoms are, in fact, the feathery crowns of exotic Hoopoe birds hiding in the foliage alongside wildly embellished beetles and a wide-eyed praying mantis. Every leaf, feather and insect wing is lovingly adorned with intricate patterns evoking Zulu beadwork.

Created in a rich range of colours including sharp spring greens and lush olive tones, balanced with warm pinks, corals, sunny yellows and hints of soft blue, with the ground hues evoking an inky night sky or a dusty savanna afternoon.

Narina shares its name with the beautiful Narina Trogan Bird, native to KwaZulu-Natal in South Africa. Derived from the detailed patterning found on many Ardmore bowls and vases, the Cole & Son design studio have created a soft watercoloured geometric design using the stylised feathers of the Narina Bird to produce a subtle yet unusual semi-plain wallpaper.

Offered in colourings including soft neutrals alongside a vibrant burnt orange, leaf green and moody charcoal, this beautiful paper can be used to complement other designs within the collection and can also be hung upside down for an equally striking effect.

The charmingly designed Safari Dance features a trio of elephants dancing horizontally across the African plains.

Intricately rendered, they are taken from a series of large decorated urns painted by Zinhle Nene which take pride of place in the Ardmore museum. Colourings are paired back in order to enhance the fine hand-drawn elements – charcoal and sand and stone provide a softly speckled backdrop to black and white, as well as soft mulberry, rust and cool chalky greys.

The intricate curves and ripples of semi-precious stones and fossils appear throughout Fornasetti's work, with the hypnotic curves becoming synonymous with the Fornasetti canon.

The iconic Malachite is presented in unique luminous mineral shades as well as the arresting, Fornasetti classics for a captivating interior option.

Created as a complement to Hummingbirds Flora, Flora depicts the bursting bouquets of honeysuckle to which the birds flock. Completely hand-drawn and hand-painted, this delicate floral trail is bursting with nectar waiting to be discovered.

The climbing trail of Wisteria floribunda can be found throughout the Cole & Son archive. This deciduous, sun-loving, summer bloomer with its refulgent racemes has been updated with a trailing hand-drawn trellis to create a graphic print that is as in keeping within a cottage garden as it is in a contemporary setting.

Sur-flex printed, Wisteria has a thick, chalky texture bringing each individual bud to the fore in palettes of Coral & Sage on Parchment, Magenta & Leaf Green on White, Stone & Olive on Duck Egg, Powder Blue & Jade on Cerulean Sky, and Sage on Leaf Green.

Fornasetti used shells to cover the walls of his Lake Como villa dining room, as a mid-century interpretation of a sixteenth-century grotto. The room also featured a delicate shell ceiling lamp made by Giulia, Piero’s wife.

Depicting a wonderfully exuberant tree of life, inspired by the Palace of Fontainebleau outside Paris, Fontainebleau comprises leafy stems upon which a flock of exotic and colourful birds perch.

This striking design is presented in colourways of rose pinks on duck egg and fuchsia and emerald greens on a neutral ground.

Beautifully exotic and lush, Woodvale Orchard is a reimagined design from the Cole & Son archive, the original block print of which is still housed there today.

Plumose parrots sit amongst a flourishing canopy of leaves and sun-ripened grapes, surface printed to ensure the traditional print mark-making textures are retained in this modern day reproduction.

Hues of Hyacinth, Lilac & China Blue on Ochre are full of summer sunshine, whilst the deep grounds of Violet, Purple & Forest on Ink; and Ruby, Rose & Olive Green on Charcoal, create an opulent interior, as does the classically elegant Rose, Hyacinth & Forest on Parchment.

Midsummer Bloom depicts abundant summer flowers in full bloom. This blousy print was found in the Cole & Son archive and re-painted by the Design Studio to create a rich and lavish trailing floral.

Moody colourings of Burnt Orange, Rose & Petrol on Ink; and Mulberry, Purple & Teal on Ink give Midsummer Bloom a contemporary update whilst Chartreuse, Rouge & Leaf Green on Parchment; and Hyacinth Blues on Chalk offer a more classically chintzy floral arrangement.

Filled with characterful New World charm, the wondrous fabled "flying machines" of Macchine Volanti evoke childhood fantasy and adventure.
