Top wallpaper designers – Basso & Brooke
In the next of our series on top wallpaper designers we’re taking a look at the work of Basso & Brooke. Brazilian Bruno Basso and Brit Christopher Brooke met in a London nightclub and decided to launch their own fashion label. This was back in 2003 and by 2004 they had scooped the London Fashion Fringe award which led to a production deal with Italian luxury goods manufacturer Aeffe.
Their gravity defying clothes have been compared to the work of John Galliano due to theatrical designs that incorporate wild and bold graphics. In 2008, Basso & Brooke teamed up with wallpaper manufacturer Graham & Brown to produce this great range of wallcoverings.

With this range of wallpaper, Basso & Brooke have attempted to make their clothing prints accessible to the interior design market and will be looking to extend this to lifestyle products such as lamps, soft furnishings and china.
Basso & Brooke have created eight prints available in 46 colour options. They have named their prints: Alphabet, Chain, Chinoise, Globe, Map, Odyssey, Pathway and Soma. All the designs are produced on clay-coat paper with a matt finish and metallic/gloss embellishments.
Top wallpaper designers – Barbara Hulanicki
The third in our series on designer wallpaper takes a look at the work of Barbara Hulanicki. An icon of the British fashion scene since the swinging 60s, Barbara was actually born in Warsaw, Poland but moved to England with her parents at an early age and later studied at Brighton Art College. After winning a beachwear competition in 1955 run by the London Evening Standard newspaper, Barbara became a freelance illustrator for iconic fashion magazines such as Vogue and Tatler.
During the mid-1960s she opened Biba, a clothes shop famous for its decadent and lavish décor inspired by Art Deco and Art Nouveau. Biba became a hang out for some of the great musicians of the era including Mick Jagger, David Bowie and Marianne Faithfull.
