PIERRE FREY

The Rendez-vous collection

Founded in 1935, the House of Pierre Frey creates, edits and manufactures upholstery fabrics. The notion of high-quality work is not a hollow concept; rather, it is the cornerstone of this house in the purest French tradition. As the inheritor of expertise that built the company, the spirit is inventive and deeply eclectic. It draws its inspiration from the art of far-away ethnic groups, the French eighteenth century and contemporary Art. Pierre Frey collections mix materials and motifs that are reunited in harmonious colours. Each collection is a story, a trip that is made possible by the combined efforts of Patrick Frey and his studio as well as the designers, the master weavers, printers, and embroideries that all put their know-how at the service of a common passion. The Rendez-vous collection is an authentic encounter between mural and textile which has been elaborated on by La Maison Pierre Frey, introducing different designs as well as plain embossed vinyls. The graphic and abstract drawings in this collection are printed on handmade mat vinyl trompe-l’oeil, unstructured linen canvas, raffia weaves and a wild silk print. They are enhanced by matt, pearl or metallic finishes that shade and punctuate the walls. The links are woven between the drawings and their supports, offering a journey between periods and artistic trends. Basketry, caning, geometry, ikats and brushstrokes. The eclecticism held so dear to la Maison Pierre Frey is seen here in “rendez-vous”.
