As we mentioned in our last blog, the DWC team went all out for the first Maison et Objet event of the new decade – held in Paris’ Villepinte Exhibition Centre between 17 and 21 January.

With so much planned over the next 12 months, the team here at Dutch Walltextile Company is already gearing up to attend some of the biggest and best known interior design shows.

As most design enthusiasts know, many trends in culture reflect on each other, particularly between interiors and fashion. The recent runway shows across global fashion weeks in New York, London, Milan and Paris surprised many by presenting continuous themes and trends from previous seasons. The global culture trend is starting to realize that many aspects of design and culture are truly timeless. When it comes to sustainability and craftsmanship, it’s not always about the latest trends, but what can reflect a person or a place’s style for years to come.

Things have finally started to settle down again around the DWC offices after the Maison & Objet fair we attended in Paris in September. Preparing for the show created a huge buzz around the office because it was our first chance to debut our fifth collection to the world of interior designers at the famous design fair. A spot at the show is a coveted achievement for any company and we were proud to debut our four new wall textiles there alongside some of the best brands in the industry. Meeting designers, showcasing our products and seeing what others are creating are always the highlights of attending the Maison & Objet fair.

The Dutch Walltextile Company was born when a love of interior design and a passion for handcrafted and authentic textiles collided. As a producer of textile laminations for several generations, we were searching for a new challenge. In 2014 we set our sights on how we could make our traditional product function outside of the typical manner. And after years of perfecting our craft, we are excited to bring some very special textile wallcovering elements to the world of interior architecture and design.
