Farrow & Ball
Farrow & Ball has been based in Dorset, England, since 1946. To this day, the brand remains dedicated to handcrafting richly pigmented paints and unique wallpapers using only the finest ingredients.
The result is a directional palette of paint colours with an extraordinary response to light and artisanal wallpapers with a tactile finish, achieved by printing paint on paper. Together, they transform homes of all kinds, inside and out, all over the world.
From ultra-matt, durable Dead Flat to mould-protected Modern Emulsion best for kitchens and bathrooms, and even choices for exteriors or historic properties, each high performance finish is crafted with a precise balance of pigments and a low-VOC (Volatile Organic Compounds) water base. This creates an extraordinary depth of colour and an unrivalled finish.
In addition to the curated collection of 132 paint colours by Farrow & Ball, archived shades enable customers to explore the brand’s history, offering a rich and varied palette.
VELUX ART is an encounter of fundamental design elements – light, colour, furnishings and functionality – which join forces to transform four rooms.
These spaces, staged at the heart of a gallery like works of art, are metamorphosed by the various structural elements. The Farrow & Ball products, and their superlative response to light, are given pride of place.
Light plays such a vital role in colour that the Farrow & Ball teams design each shade in all sorts of lighting, ensuring the paint colour will be perfectly balanced in all settings. This partnership with VELUX enables to further explore the positive power of colour and light, and how it can be channeled to transform our houses into happier, healthier spaces.
During the Paris Design Week, Farrow & Ball is also presenting Carte Blanche, a new capsule collection of colours and wallpapers created in collaboration with celebrated American fashion designer, Christopher John Rogers.
Through Carte Blanche, Farrow & Ball brings Rogers’ distinctive flair and unmistakable joy to the word of interiors. A foundation of four neutrals, eight statement shades and three playful wallpaper prints, this palette of handcrafted paint and paper places the emphasis on expressive, individual style.
Inspired by cherished memories of food and family, the 12 new paint shades range from vivid blue to verdant green, cheerful pink to structural neutrals. The result is a colour palette of elevated exuberance. For the first time, the collection also includes three new wallpaper patterns centred around playing with shape, each available in three Carte Blanche colourways. Exquisitely fashioned but far from restrictive, the elements can be effortlessly combined with endless possibilities.
Carte Blanche brings together the best of heritage and modernity, combining classic inspiration and the traditional techniques Farrow & Ball has perfected over 75 years with an unexpected twist, for a timeless look that delights this season and many more.
