Throughout its history, Paris has attracted many artists. Whether it is a setting for daily life, a symbol of power or a place of architectural expression, the capital constitutes a protean source of inspiration for creators.

On the occasion of the bicentenary of the deciphering of the hieroglyphs by Champollion (1822), Pierre Frey is unveiling "Wonders of Egypt", a new collection of fabrics, wallpapers and carpets among which eight references are the result of a completely new collaboration with the Louvre Museum in Paris.

The Dessins 5 wallpaper collection brings together six designs have been chosen from the 25,000 documents in the Pierre Frey archives. Reinterpreted by the design studio, the six documents cohabit perfectly with the contemporary creations of the collection.

When the railroads developed in France, the railway lines were conceded to six companies. Each of them provided the Emperor with a train. The first imperial train was delivered by the Compagnie du Nord in 1855. The model of the wagon is kept in the Archives Department.

Quilted fabrics and boutis evoke Provence where women of yesteryear walked around in quilted petticoats and colorful caracos. The collections Eternel été and Joie de vivre revisit this tradition.
