Farrow & Ball’s Post

At Farrow & Ball, supporting the LGTBQIA+ community goes beyond June through our Painting with Pride project.    Recently, we shared an exciting project with the Leslie-Lohman Museum of Art, the world's only dedicated LGBTQIA+ art museum. Last week, we were thrilled to co-host an evening of conversation in the space. We were joined by Editor in Chief of ELLE DECOR, Asad Syrkett, multimedia artist and designer Liz Collins, and fashion designer Christopher John Rogers, who delved into the topic of queer design moderated by Leslie-Lohman Executive Director Alyssa Nitchun.   On our podcast, The Chromologist, we were lucky enough to be joined by Glyn Fussell, founder of Sink The Pink and champion of the LGBTQIA+ community to hear about the colours that have shaped his life.   Next up for Painting with Pride, we're heading to Margate to add some colour to MARGATE ARTS CLUB, a joyful queer-run community space. More to come on this soon. Giving the Leslie-Lohman Museum A Colourful Makeover: https://lnkd.in/ep_v3zXi Learning about the shades of Glyn Fussell's life: https://lnkd.in/ehppqFGh

Introducing The Purnon Papers. Five patterns uncovered at Château de Purnon and brought to life by us at our home in Dorset. Inspired by those who lived, and revelled, at the French château in its heyday, the original patterns have been lovingly redesigned in five unique colourways to complement homes of all shapes and sizes.

What an incredible week we’ve had celebrating our handcrafted wallpapers in LA. We discussed the art of painted paper for LEGENDS 2024 with Joanna Saltz from House Beautiful, marvelled at the stunning windows crafted by And And And Studio, and shared a sneak peek of something new with friends at the beautiful Olive Ateliers. To everyone who joined us, thank you for making it so special. For those who couldn’t make it, stay tuned for more events coming soon.

We're celebrating #EarthDay with five things that not only make our wallpaper unique, but also ensure they are crafted with conscience: 🖐️ By using traditional handcrafted methods, every roll has a purposefully personal touch. 🖌️ We use our own, water based paint for rich colour and irresistible texture. 💡 All of our wallpaper is made in Dorset using 100% renewable energy. ♻️ Completely vinyl free, any offcuts are fully recyclable to reduce waste. 🌍 From FSC-certified paper and beyond, we partner with planet-conscious suppliers.

Crafted by hand. Every tin of our paint and roll of our wallpaper starts off in Dorset, England, where we make and pack everything by hand. We've been proudly handcrafting paint and paper since 1946 for a personal touch you simply can't beat.

We are honoured to announce that our Carte Blanche collection — designed in collaboration with Christopher John Rogers — has been awarded the ELLE Decoration International Design Award for wallcovering of the year. Discover this capsule collection of pattern and colour at: https://lnkd.in/eaXKa6sE
