On The Wall
Posted by: Ketch on 27th Sep 2010 in Creative Report



If you are a fan of common or garden massed-produced wall coverings then look away now. Last week I was treated to an inspiring tour of Cole & Son's London factory by managing director Simon Glendenning.

What a treat.

Cole & Son excel at knowing their product, its production methods and its potential. This is an adaptive, design-led process yet rooted in hundreds of years of technical tradition and skill. From ancient sycamore printing blocks (still in use) to an amazing flocking process that would be quite comfortable as a contemporary art installation I witnessed all the industrial yet essentially human processes shown here.
