Rapture and Wright - hand printed fabrics and wallpapers

May 16th, 2012


May 6th saw our first studio open day. It was a busy day with over 350 people visiting the studio. Those that came were able to see behind the scenes in the workshop and quiz us about how we produce our fabrics.
We are also developing a display area to show sample lengths of fabric, wallpapers and accessories. There is a pleasing manufacturing meets merchandising mix to the space.
We will be organising further open days, but in the meantime you are very welcome to come and see us by appointment.

We are in the final stages of preparations for the Rapture and Wright studio opening tomorrow. Floors have been swept and fabrics hung. Come and see us. It will be a unique opportunity to see behind the scenes in the print studio. All the sample books will be available as well as our range of lampshades, cushions and accessories.

We look forward to welcoming you all.

R&W ipad case

 

It is always interesting to see our fabrics put to other uses. Home accessories are an obvious route. We particularly like these very cool ipad cases using our berbeck fabric.

  • We are very excited to announce that we have appointed Threadcount Inc. as our Distributors in Canada.

Based in their fabulous showroom in Toronto, we think that our distinctive patterned designs will work beautifully in conjunction with their stunning range of plains and weaves.

Threadcount Inc. officially launched the Rapture and Wright brand at the Toronto Interior Design Show this January 2012.

You can see all the products at www.threadcountinc.com

Many of our clients ask how we produce our fabrics. So for those of you that are interested here is a short film. Don’t worry, most of it ended up on the cutting room floor. After all, who wants to watch ink dry. Two hours into 60 seconds, where does the day go?

Our video is now live, showing a run of fabric being printed (speeded up – it actually takes 2 hours from start to finish!)

One of the benefits of handprinting small runs of fabric to order, is that we can change the colours to suit your scheme. Sometimes the most unusual combinations are surprise hits.

Here’s what we were printing on Friday; our Mandalay design in Fuchsia and Copper. We weren’t sure at the mixing desk but now we’ve rather fallen in love with it – it has the feeling of a toile for the 21st Century.
