New show

Lincrusta has been producing embossed wallcoveri­ng since 1877. Made from gelled linseed oil and wood-flour paste spread on to a paper base, it takes its name from Lin for Linum (flax, from which linseed oil is made) and Crusta (relief). Now enjoying a revival, the company uses many of the original rollers to emboss its designs, which are all produced in Lancashire; shown here is Georgian Panel, £265 per 10m roll. Its first UK showroom will open at the Design Centre, Chelsea Harbour, during Focus/19 (01524 239679; www.lincrusta.com)
