The Fable Collection invites history into the present, transforming traditional craft and storytelling into designs that feel alive in today’s interiors. Drawing on folklore, nature, and heritage artistry, these wallpapers reinterpret time-honoured techniques — from tapestry and woodblock printing to hand-painting — with a fresh perspective. Each design balances narrative with abstraction, offering murals and coordinates that move effortlessly between heritage charm and contemporary style.
Colour and texture are at the heart of the collection, with palettes ranging from serene sages and evergreens to rich plums, indigos, and metallic accents. Crafted across smooth non-woven, natural grasscloth, and decorative textile finishes, Fable celebrates the beauty of tradition not as something preserved, but as something to live with. This is a collection that transforms walls into canvases of story, craft, and imagination.
Every collection begins with a story, and Fable is no exception. Rooted in history yet designed for the present, its inspiration draws from the artistry of the past and the ways we continue to live with tradition today. Through craft, colour, and materiality, Fable celebrates the timeless dialogue between heritage and modern design — a narrative explored in two chapters: Stories Woven Through Time and Tradition Reimagined for Today.
The Fable Collection is born from a fascination with heritage craft and storytelling traditions. From medieval tapestries to hand-carved woodblocks, we have drawn on the artistry of the past to create designs that feel timeless yet alive in the present. Every motif – from mythical creatures to intricate botanical forms – carries echoes of folklore and the natural world.
This interplay of history and imagination invites walls to become part of a story, transforming interiors into spaces layered with depth, meaning, and beauty.
Colour and texture complete the narrative. Rich indigos, plums, and metallic golds are balanced with soft sages, blushes and dove greys, creating palettes that are both rooted in tradition and refreshingly modern. Each design explores materiality, whether through the smooth precision of non-woven, the natural tactility of grasscloth, or the softness of decorative textiles. Together, these elements capture the essence of living with tradition — where craft, nature, and storytelling shape interiors that feel both historic and new.
At the heart of the Fable Collection lies a diverse range of wallpapers that bring its stories to life. From murals and coordinates inspired by tapestry, woodblock printing, and hand-painting, to a curated palette of twelve flat colour grasscloths, each design balances heritage influence with contemporary style. Crafted across non-woven, grasscloth, and decorative textile finishes, the collection offers both richly patterned and textured plain options, creating endless possibilities for interiors that honour tradition while embracing timeless elegance.
