what's new
The inspiration for Lewis & Wood's latest collection, The History Papers, came from very different sources - rock carvings, stenciled walls, Georgian damasks, and a talented friend - leading to four new wallpapers that go together beautifully despite their very different histories.
Lewis & Wood: The History Papers
folklore
Folklore is based on a nineteenth century American stencil pattern by Moses Eaton, courtesy of the American Museum in Bath, One large leaf has been replaced with individual strawberry leaves, making the pattern pop in its seven colorways: Blossom Leaf, Buttermilk Blue, Charcoal Lime, Green Apple, Pink Salt, Rose Ash, and Teal Berry.

georgia
Georgia is based on a Georgian wallpaper discovered in 1966 by Lewis & Wood’s Creative Director Magdalen Jebb's father Philip. Philip gave the wallpaper to John Fowler, who later donated it to the V&A, which dates it to the mid-eighteenth century. It comes in five colorways: Blue Oyster, Document, Flora, Gold Slate, and Pot Pourri.

paper trail
Inspired by ancient rock carvings from various sites in America, Paper Trail shows deer, horses, buffalo, and foxes all cut from a rock texture, giving each animal an earthy quality that connects modern printing to the earliest human marks. It comes in five colorways: Canyon, Flinstone, River, Rockface, and Sunset.
