Galbraith & Paul - What's Not to Love

It was love at first sight. Several years ago I was introduced to this Zinnia upholstery linen by Galbraith & Paul and I have been in love with their work ever since.

Here's a much better image of the Zinnia fabric on a pair of chairs. The blues and greens are more accurate in this photo found in Brooke Giannetti's Velvet & Linen post Color is a good thing.


Founded in 1986, Galbraith & Paul have been creating custom lighting and textiles that strive to meet the highest standards in design and craftsmanship. Begun originally as a hand papermaking studio specializing in lamps with hand made paper shades, they've evolved into a fabric design and printing studio focusing on lighting with hand block printed silk shades and textiles of silk, linen and velvet. They also create gorgeous made to order hand-tufted rugs to the trade.


Love this pair of transitional living room chairs in Galbraith & Paul's yummy chocolate donuts upholstery linen.
This Warm Zinnia hand-tufted 100% New Zealand wool and silk rug is simply gorgeous and of course, made to order.

Here are some of my current favorite Galbraith & Paul textiles. The paisley hand block print patterns are divine.

Galbraith & Paul pillows and selective lighting can be purchased online at roomandboard.com, 2modern.com and lumens.com.
Thank you Galbraith & Paul for creating such beautiful works of art!
