The Paper Mills team studied fine art at Pennsylvania
Academy of Art, University of the Arts and Purchase
College respectively with an emphasis on printmaking,
the study of repeated image and the dissemination of
ideas. From there, the sisters applied their skills
to jobs with New York based wallpaper manufacturing
companies while continuing to develop their personal
artistic endeavors. Their commercial skills honed
after fifteen years working for the leading
manufacturers led them to create their own workshop.
With their fine art skills and industry experience
the team has begun to provide a service to the
interior design/architectural community pairing their
manufacturing expertise with the brightest designers
to create surface materials that both redefine and
reinvigorate the American wallpaper industry.
The workshop is a testing ground for new ideas that
can be used to produce one-off site specific projects
in addition to high-volume commercial projects in
collaboration with the finest domestic manufacturers.
Focusing on hand carving and block printing
techniques the team came up with a delightfully
graphic line of animal prints, bold damasks and
graphic fashion inspired patterns such as hounds
tooth.
It's not your Grandmothers wallpaper anymore. (Unless
you want it to be.)
