A Sisterly Duo Ushers De Gournay‘s Bespoke Wallcoverings Into The Future.
KNOWN FOR ITS SUMPTUOUS PATTERNS, evocative of 18th-century chinoiserie, the bespoke London wallpaper company de Gournay has garnered a cult following since its founding in the 1980s by former financier Claud Cecil Gurney. Such celebrities as Gwyneth Paltrow, Kate Moss, and J.K. Rowling swear by its wall coverings, which are handmade in China, while top designers and fashion brands, from India Mahdavi and Kelly Wearstler to Chanel and Aquazzura, have become close collaborators. In London, Martin Brudnizki put his own decadent spin on a pair of de Gournay creations for his overhaul of Annabel’s, the renowned members-only club.
