Typically French wallcoverings from Rasch Textil
Posted on January 10, 2012
You rise from your chaise longue, whack on some Givenchy and clamber into your purring Peugot, scooting down the road to the Matisse exhibition before picking up a Brie de Meaux that can be washed down with a cheeky Krug NV Grande Cuvee. Stop right there – you may be a Francophile! If you embrace all things French – or just admire their natural affinity for style – it’s time to introduce your walls to the stunning collection known as ‘Un Jour A Versailles’ (A Day In Versailles). Meticulously designed by Brigitte von Boch, the collection is a truly beautiful selection of wallcoverings reminiscent of 18th Century Versailles.

Wallpaper – the maligned millstone that refused to move with the times – that dodgy peeling relic cast to the wind a few decades ago – has made an astonishing comeback in modern times.

When it comes to dessert, would you rather a flat bowl of custard - or a spectacular fusion of chocolate, honeycomb, grenache and brittle toffee stacked high on a raspberry coulis?

Brigitte Von Boch wallcoverings
Posted on July 17, 2011
France has long been the world’s recognised epicentre of style and fashion. When it comes to classic interior design, nobody does it better than the French. But while some people are lucky enough to effortlessly assimilate all things French, others struggle in their attempts to become a practicing Francophile. Like me, they think that a Renault is a painting of flower pots, whilst a camembert is some kind of large furry animal with claws. They battle with the distinction between Eiffel and Trifle, between Veuve Clicquot and Neve Campbell. These days, however, bold pioneers are breaking down the great linguistic divide through the international language of interior design. All the hard work has been done for you, so now you can instantly transform turn your modest space into the Grand Palace Of Versailles. It all starts with the stunning Brigitte Von Boch Collection from Rasch-Textil.
