The Collection by Evan Orensten
Allison Grant opened The Collection in Paris in 2003 to feature the work of new and established English designers. Her collection has grown and features works by several designers, spanning wallpaper (handmade, embroidered, trompe l'oeil, kits, appliques...), lighting, accessories, children's furniture and accessories.
There are too many great things to show, but we managed a few of our favorites: Colorful kitchen towels by Unity Peg (above), wallpaper by Tracy Kendall, Deborah Bowness and Aurélie Mathigot, and the flocked vinyl "frames" by Mayte Alcade.
The Collection
33, rue de Poitou
75003 Paris

The pattern shown here Viva ($60 for a double roll) draws from Hulanicki's Art Nouveau influences. Graham & Brown also carries a variety of designs by several other talents.
