Kens & Company and Studio E Hand Painted Wallpaper are happy to announce their partnership to bring to the Gulf their collection of authentic Italian polished plaster and artisan metal-leaf as wallpaper.
Studio E Hand Painted Wallpaper : Intercontinental New York, Times Square, New York
Unlike costly, site-applied polished plaster finishes with problematic maintenance issues such as cracking and chipping, Studio E Venetian Plaster Collection Wallpaper will not crack or chip - even at corners. A damaged strip can easily and quickly be replaced with a fresh one so the installation looks perfect again.
This product is attractive to designers and architects, but also to contractors, developers, and owners looking for a low cost and low maintenance VE option for their special finishes. In addition to their extensive range, Studio E also develops bespoke wallpapers for their discerning global clientele of individuals and brands.
Denise Vasaya, Director, Global Sales for Studio E: "Our handmade wallpapers present an easier, faster, cleaner, neater, less-costly and better wearing alternative to site-applied (direct to the wall) artisan special finishes."
Studio E recently launched their new website. Please visit http://www.studioeinc.com, to find installation images and learn more about their product offering. Studio E is the product spin-off of EverGreene Architectural Arts. EverGreene, the US's largest Architectural Arts studio, painted the murals at Atlantis The Palm and many other high-profile hotels and resorts worldwide.
Kens Gourgue, Managing Director, Kens & Company said, "The global wall coverings market should hit well over US$26 billion this year. The Middle East remains a hugely untapped market but displays huge potential for future growth and expansion of the wallpapers segment."
Mr. Gourgue added, "Studio E has been very active in the region, and is a great add to Kens & Company's already strong couture interior finishes and wall claddings."
