Timelessness and supreme craftsmanship are the hallmarks of this family company which for more than a century has maintained its reputation for quality and elegance. UP CLOSE not only offers a look at new developments at the company, but transports readers from grand spaces like the White House and the Palace of Versailles to romantic cottages and rustic fishing camps, offering a wealth of creative ideas on using fabric, wallpaper and furnishings in the most effective way. In the last decade we've gone through shabby chic elegance, to super-expensive minimalism and back to traditional.
