GRAHAM & BROWN DESIGN OF THE YEAR 2026: ETERNAL WEAVE
Introducing “ETERNAL WEAVE”, proudly G&B’s Design of the Year for 2026.
This magical and whimsical design is heavily influenced by nature, mythology and the craftmanship of the designs that come to life through texture, colour and storytelling.
This detailed and intricate work of art
features tropical flowers, plants, birds and reptiles in jewel colours to bring
this exotic and captivating design to life.
The in-house design studio drew inspiration from ancient textiles, weaving a continuous thread of creativity that has been passed down through generations.
The hand-painted tapestry pays homage to the artisans who came before, with a fantastical design that celebrates storytelling through the ages.
The mystical element to the design taps into the allure of an enchanted garden, helping to turn homes into a whimsical space that evokes a sense of magic.
Graham & Brown recommend complementing the Design with our Colour of
the Year, DIVINE DAMSON for a fully perfectly partnered room.
This year's wallpaper design features a hand painted look, inspired by a piece of artwork from Graham & Brown's archive of over 50,000 pieces.
The archival piece had a hand-stitched appearance and rich texture, which
the design team sought to recreate for the Design of the Year 2026.
The inspiration for the mural of the year, Eternal City, was
taken from the architecture and textiles of the pink city of Jaipur; this
beautiful ancient city has a rich heritage and unique charm that is highly
regarded by artisans around the world.
Graham & Brown designer, Victoria Davidson undertook the task of meticulously hand drawing and painting this intricate mural, a process that took several months in the studio.
Her technique was inspired by traditional Indian miniaturist painting known for its exquisite detail achieved using fine brushes and mineral pigments.
Her intricate detailing brings the
design’s vibrant cityscape to life through jewel-toned colours, botanical
motifs and delicate linework – resulting in a piece that truly delights the
senses.
The Eternal City mural is available exclusively in store.
