Cole & Son and Vivienne Westwood Introduce New Wallcovering Collaboration
Cole & Son will debut a new capsule collection in collaboration with Vivienne Westwood, bringing together two British design houses known for their heritage, craftsmanship, and distinct visual identities. The partnership marks the first time Cole & Son has translated the fashion house’s iconic prints and hand‑drawn graphics into wallcoverings, reimagining Westwood’s design language for contemporary interiors.
Launching in 2026, the collection draws from Vivienne Westwood’s extensive runway history and celebrated print archives. Fabrics, motifs, and graphic elements have been adapted into wallpaper designs that merge historical references with an avant‑garde approach. The result is a series that connects fashion, interior design, and art through a shared commitment to intentional, expressive design.
A preview of the collaboration will be presented during Paris Design Week in January 2026 at a curated installation on Rue Saint‑Honoré. The space will be arranged as a living gallery, featuring four distinct areas that highlight the versatility of the collection. Visitors will experience signature Westwood prints at a life‑size scale, including Rainforest Squiggle, Absence of Roses Moiré, MacAndreas Tartan, and the V&A design.

Marie Karlsson, Creative and Managing Director at Cole & Son, described the collaboration as a dialogue between two design houses with aligned values. “A true design dialogue between two iconic British design houses, translating the movement, fabric, and form of fashion into the materiality and mood of interiors. It reflects a shared commitment to intentional design. My vision for this collection blends bold beautiful colors with fluid form and tactile richness, creating interiors that feel dynamic, layered, and unmistakably tomorrow.
“It is a privilege to introduce this collection into the world of interiors. Vivienne Westwood has long been a profound source of inspiration for me—her uncompromising design language, boundless creativity, and unwavering individuality. I am so proud of this collection infused with passion.”
