My latest obsession is Cole and Son Ltd in particularly the "Woods" collection of wallpaper they produce. The company history is very cool indeed. It was founded in 1875 by John Perry, son of a Cambridgeshire vicar, the company – then called John Perry Ltd was originally situated in a wallpaper mill in Islington, North London, an area famous for the 200 hand block printing companies working there in the 18th and 19th centuries. Today Cole’s factory is in Haringey, just a few miles further north of the original site, while the showroom is in the Design Centre Chelsea Harbour. In 1949, they created one of the very first screen printing companies in Europe and now are one of the foremost experts in historic restoration including key works completed on Buckingham Palace and the White House.
