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.)
