A collaboration
We made wallpaper.
A collection of our own, drawn in the studio and printed properly, meant to live on real walls. And a promise we care about more than the paper: for every collection that goes up in a client’s home, a wall goes up in a room for people who need one.
The partnership
The people who print it
We don’t partner casually. William Morris Wallpaper Co. came to us with something rare: a genuine respect for designers as artists, patterns made properly, in repeat, at scale, meant to live on real walls, and an initiative that made the decision for us. They print, we design, and neither of us pretends to do the other’s job.
The collection
Christina Simon Studio, on your walls
One artist’s eye, many expressions. Patterns may be spare or abundant, monochrome or full colour — all sharing line character, flattened perspective, motif hierarchy, palette logic, and a rhythm of unusual negative space.
Mineral, earthen colour and limited modelling. No glossy gradients, no vector-perfect outlines. Pooled pigment, broken ink and subtle misregistration retained, so the whole collection reads as drawn by the same hand.
Surrealist Sea Garden
Tactile parchment ground, mineral colour, sea life as small discoveries among invented aquatic plants.
Old World Sea Botanical
Deep indigo and bone, a bold fish-and-plant relationship, painterly leaves on a mineral grey-blue.
Witty Trompe l’Oeil
An overhead table in hand-drawn line — glassware, oyster shells, corks, lemon and flowers.
These are working concepts from our first round. The finished collection is being drawn now.
Both Rooms · the community wall
The wall that matters most
Our collection’s second room is with Upbring. We met their team this summer, and the wall will go into one of Upbring’s neighbourhood Wellbeing Zones.
In their words:
Upbring serves more than 10,000 children and families each year across Texas. We’ll be installing a wall from this collection in their space, with our own hands and a few of yours. Photographs and the full story will live here after install day.
The initiative
Both Rooms
Beauty is not a luxury. It’s a language, and everyone deserves to speak it.
That’s the idea behind Both Rooms, the initiative at the heart of every William Morris Wallpaper Co. designer collaboration. Every collection lives in two kinds of rooms — the ones it’s chosen for, and one it’s given to. Same paper. Same care in the hanging. A room you’d design for a client, gifted to a space where it will matter more than anywhere else.
Our collection’s second room is with Upbring. Yours might be the first.
