Cole And Son

A true Cole & Son classic, featuring a forest of silver birch trees, Woods is presented here in three brand new colourings of aged pink and gilver, blue and white and eau de nil and gold. Taken from the iconic 1959 screen print, Woods has become a firm Cole & Son favourite with its calming print in a variety of palettes. The elegant silver birch tree design is refined in uncomplicated tones as well as the understatedly elegant hues.

A smaller scale version of the mural Nuvole, Nuvolette, is one of the most enduring Fornasetti designs. The sky was long a recurring vision for Fornasetti and these ‘little clouds’ are delicately detailed etchings depicting tempestuous, rolling skies.

 Available in other colours ways upon request. Other colours ways come as a 2 roll set. Please contact us for more details. 

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.

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

Inspired by the colourful and exuberant architecture of South Beach, Miami and the lush and tropical vegetation of the region, the Miami wallpaper depicts giddy layers of elegant tiled terraces, colonnades and pillars, interspersed with verdant palms and exotic flora.

Digitally printed, Miami is offered in two stunning colourings, the first made up of botanic greens, and limes, with accents of orange and teal, while the second presents a moodier twilight colouring of slates and greys with flashes of electric pink and golden yellow.

A classic of the Atelier’s portfolio, the sun occupies a privileged position in the Fornasetti repertoire of natural forms and is one of the major motifs in the Atelier's visual universe.

A predilection in part justified by the fact that for years in the early 1940s, at the request of Gio Ponti, Piero Fornasetti designed almanacs on a lunar theme to be given as Christmas gifts.

The owl, forever associated with darkness and gloom, can see and move deftly in the dark, hence its symbolism as the embodiment of wisdom and foresight.

This ambivalent and mysterious symbol fascinated Piero Fornasetti, who used it as a motif on numerous accessories and porcelain items.

A breathtaking chinoiserie that is a culmination of several sceneries resonating from the most beautiful gardens of Japan. Let the calligraphy strokes guide you through the landscape. Immerse yourself through hills, trees, flowers, and the flowing water that cascades throughout the panel.

Experience the charming blossoms of the iconic Sakura tree that poetically and aesthetically bloom in the natural landscape. Japanese Chinoiserie is available in six colourways on traditional bases, as well as one colourway offered on a Natural Grasscloth. The use of natural materials in Japanese culture links back to ancient times, exemplifying the incredible craftsmanship with a stitch by stitch methodology. Japanese Chinoiserie is painted in a traditional style, yet it gives a modern and timeless feel. 

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.

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.

he Rainforest Squiggle is an abstract and free flowing interpretation of the iconic Squiggle print – first seen in Vivienne Westwood and Malcolm McLaren’s debut catwalk collection Pirate in 1981. The Rainforest Squiggle, featured in Cole & Son x Vivienne Westwood, was first presented in the Autumn-Winter 2014/15 Gold Label Save the Rainforest runway collection. Vivienne and Andreas referenced master couturier Charles Frederick Worth, combined with influences from the Asháninka, a Peruvian tribe living in the rainforests which they visited in 2013 with Cool Earth. The runway show itself represented the fight for the environment – namely, to save the Asháninka’s rainforest by 2020.

Cole & Son’s artists took the graphic layout of the Rainforest Squiggle motif and saw the chance to infuse the design with an element of hand-craft by painting it in one continuous duo-toned brushstroke. The result is a simple yet bold contemporary wall mural that exudes a vibrant energy. The meandering layout allows the eye to travel throughout the composition in an unending loop where the journey of the artist’s hand is never broken.

Colourings include bright palettes of Crimson & Lipstick on Parchment and Navy & Cerulean on Stone with monochromatic Charcoal & Soot on Cream, White & Grey on Charcoal, and Soft Grey & Dove on Chalk. A stately Rouge & Burgundy on Soft Blue completes the selection.

The subversion of striped fabrication has been a recurring theme in the collections of Vivienne Westwood from the early years. The painted stripe was seen in collections from the 1980s, often in the background or overprinted in designs seen during the punk era. Most recently the True-Punk Stripe has evolved and featured in the Vivienne Westwood Autumn-Winter 2025/26 collection, seen on oversized shirting.

Cole & Son’s translation into a wallcovering retains the overprinting method which shows the original hand-painted quality of the stripe, as well as the texture of the material it was painted on.

True-Punk Stripe complements the collection’s other designs in tonal hues of Soft White and Muted Duck Egg along with the more quintessential Vivienne Westwood Denim and Khaki palettes.

Absence of Roses is a print synonymous with the Vivienne Westwood house, first seen as an illustrative rose motif in the Spring-Summer 1994 Gold Label Café Society collection. The Roses print was originally inspired by painter and botanist to Marie Antoinette, Pierre-Joseph Redouté and later seen as a silhouette print in the Absence of Roses iteration.

For the Cole & Son x Vivienne Westwood collection, the Absence of Roses print features the classic Cole & Son Moiré as its ground, giving the wallpaper a depth, movement and rich heritage associated with that of a Westwood gown. Moiré, a design still within the Cole & Son portfolio today, was created by the design house’s founder to fill the need for wallpaper that replicated the appearance of silk wallcoverings. With this he was at the forefront of innovation developing the design using crushed pearl pigments, known as mica, to simulate the lustre of silk. The resulting combination of the two prints is a romantic wallpaper that envelops whatever room it adorns in a silk jacquard-like effect.

Colourings of Pewter and Brass reference the moodier sensibilities of the Vivienne Westwood house, as well as the pure Silk White of the bridal couture they have come to be synonymous with.

Painted in the distinctive, intricately patterned style of Ardmore ceramics, Acacia Canopy’s dense leaf coverage invites the eye to wander within. A closer look reveals resplendent butterflies fluttering proudly from leaf to leaf. Resilient and strong, the acacia stands throughout the seasons in leafy tones of Safari, arid Pebble, and dusk Plums.

Meditation Stone was derived from one of the most prominent rock gardens in Kyoto. The construction of the garden is still unknown, there are several speculations of the architect behind the magical rock garden.

What inspired the Cole & Son artists to create Meditation Stone was the flow and movements to create a harmonised space. This rock formation design will float around your room, creating a textured feeling on your walls, this is a perfect wallpaper to pair with Kaki Persimmon or Bonsai Garden, as well as a stand-alone design. 

Using Japanese techniques and charcoal, the Cole & Son artists created croquis for the Japanese Woods design. It is a modern interpretation of a traditional craft, known as Daisugi a Japanese sustainable mission to preserve a whole forest in one tree. Within each pruned tree you have a whole forest.

The striking Japanese Woods gives a contemporary feel to any room, providing the illusion of an eternal forest. This graphic and monochromatic repeat provides depth and perspective to the interior space.

The Ryoanji Temple cultivated the inspiration behind Lily Lotus. The beautiful water and ponds in the gardens of Kyoto are filled with these elevated flowers, setting the scene of the water landscape. The Cole & Son artists have painted an interpretation of the Water Lilies, identifiable with a floral choreography. Water Lilies are said to bring peace and enlightenment the design Lily Lotus will uplift your space as the florals intertwine and dance across the walls. 

Three luxury plain textured options have been added to the collection, to complement the Scenic Flora and Japanese Woods and Chinoiserie designs, and can aslo be used standalone.

The inspiration of this print is ‘Sole di Capri’ a design created by Piero Fornasetti in the 50s. Piero Fornasetti long had a passion for Capri and created this iconic design from his imagination, before ever having visited the legendary island. Piero eventually took the family there on holiday and, during the 1960s, also opened a temporary Fornasetti boutique on the island.

The original print is a combination of personified suns and stylized architecture, both typical of Fornasetti. The idea of pairing personified suns and clouds appears for the first time in a sketch for a headscarf that Piero drew in 1950. It is now a whimsical all-over print, bringing a unique quirk to an interior.

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.

Piero Fornasetti was the consummate collector with a plethora of cameos certainly forming part of his vast collection of curiosities. The Cammei theme is dear to Fornasetti and is an homage to Classicism.

Piero Fornasetti first used this motif in 1954 for the decoration of his ‘Geometrico’ screen. Variations on the chessboard theme and perceptual illusions play with the contrast between black and white.

A foray into abstract, minimal, contemporary art, without sacrificing the eccentric Fornasetti spirit.

The ‘Ortensie’ design is based upon the abundant hydrangea bushes that grow in the garden that surrounds the Fornasetti house in Milan.

Piero Fornasetti created this design in the 50s applying it to numerous tables and trays.

Stemming from the original ‘Ortensie’ design, Barnaba Fornasetti created a dense bouquet of petals with bees that at first covered a scarf and furniture of the Atelier. This bounteous floral print is full of life, drawing you into the garden and filling your thoughts with the sweet smells and sounds of summer. Soft pastels are reminiscent of organic Ortensia hues, whilst a simple monochrome accentuates the delicately detailed linework of this expansive design.

Taking its name from the Chateau de Villandry which houses one of the grandest gardens in France, Villandry's design is printed in a classic Toile de Jouy style featuring a pastoral landscape of parkland, waterways and follies in traditional colourways of red, soft charcoal, cobalt blue, and dove grey.

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.

Uccelli, meaning birds, originated as luxurious folding screens depicting vibrantly coloured birds of all species adorning sparse branches. Since translated to a beautifully intricate wallcovering panel design, this delicate motif brings an ornate quality to a stand-alone feature wall or, used in repeat, creates a stunning aviary rich in detail and colour.

Each roll of Uccelli contains two drops creating a full decorative panel measuring 104cm wide by 240cm high. The design features an extra 40cm of ground colour above the trellis so that it can be trimmed from the top to perfectly fit the wall it adorns.
