French American: Wallpaper and Fabrics

Hoping to give your home that certain je ne sais quoi? Turn to French American for the answer. Marrying French style with American ingenuity, American interior designer Patrick Ediger & French graphic designer Romain Bouticourt, who previously designed for Woodson and Rummerfeld, have boldly stepped out on their own to launch French American, a line of wallpapers and fabric for the home that go beyond beautiful...

Manufactured in the United States, the environmentally friendly wallpapers and fabrics, created using light-cured, soy-based inks which instantly dry and emit very low VOCs, can be colour-customized to suit your specific needs. Love that pattern but dream of it in bold pinks and reds for your dining room, in soothing shades of blue for your bathroom or yellow and orange for your bedroom? Or, perhaps, you have an idea for your own pattern? French American can help you solve both of those challenges come the fall. For more information, click here.

Perfectly lovely - I'd enjoy that Chinoiserie pattern as fabric for my replacement livingroom draperies...

...but $90/yard and $190 for a single roll of wallpaper is right up there w/ Schumaker fabrics and wallpapers - Would like to see the fabrics somewhere before I committed $1200 in yardage alone to that project.

Custom colouring will be crucial for this business' survival. The designers' chosen colours tend toward the trendy and garish (neon magenta on black?). The designs are cool, but at these prices the colouration should not become dated so quickly.

Looks like they offer a discount and free samples to those in the trade, at least according to their Orders page:

"We offer a discount of 25% and free sampling to the design trade. Contact us for details."
