de Gournay
de Gournay, a British luxury interiors company, specialises in creating exquisite hand painted wallpaper, fabrics, porcelain and hand carved furniture. Since 1986 de Gournay has revived ancient traditions, continuing techniques that began in the 17th century by employing a team of highly skilled artists to paint traditional Chinoiserie, Japanese and Korean and 19th century French Papiers Peints Panoramiques wallpapers. To complement the wallpapers, de Gournay’s artists also hand paint silk fabrics for upholstery and soft furnishings. Founder of de Gournay, Claud Cecil Gurney, comments: “Our aim is to bring happiness into people’s lives by creating for them light, bright, vibrant and happy interiors where they can find refuge from the busy world of markets and events. Each of our interiors is a work of art hand-painted to meet the needs of discerning clients.” The painstaking attention to detail coupled with highly skilled artisanship that is at the core of everything de Gournay designs and produces, has resulted in many high end collaborations. Fashion designers such as Matthew Williamson and Jenny Packham, esteemed brands Chanel, Dior and Smythson, and commercial projects with high end retailers and hotels such as Bergdorf Goodman, Four Seasons and The Ritz, are among de Gournay’s recent partnerships. De Gournay is now a global brand which has expanded into 39 countries, with showrooms in London, New York, Paris, Shanghai and Moscow and representatives worldwide.
