Certain to qualify as an essential addition to the libraries design connoisseurs worldwide, ‘de Gournay – Hand Painted Interiors’ is the first book on the eponymous firm founded by Claud Cecil Gurney in 1984, now established as industry leaders in the creation of the world’s finest hand painted wallpapers.

Written by Claud himself and published by Rizzoli, the fascinating text offers insight into the origins of the company whilst examining questions of décor and artistic creation via engaging interludes upon Eastern mysticism, the natural world and his family: fellow colleagues in the field of bespoke wall coverings.

Exploring for the first time in print its development from cult niche to luxury bastion, the volume is a curated showcase of installations undertaken by the leading arbiters of interior design, including India Mahdavi, Miles Redd, Kelly Wearstler, Michael S. Smith, Martin Brudnizki and Robert Kime, to name but a few.
