Phillip Jeffries: Walls: Inspiring Design One Wall at a Time

A celebration of America’s most innovative and beloved family-owned wallcovering company featuring dozens of rooms by today’s top interior designers.

For fifty years, Phillip Jeffries has been the secret weapon of the world’s leading interior designers. Founded in 1976 by Eric Bershad and now helmed by his sons, Philip and Jeffrey, the company’s wallcovering is synonymous with luxury, mood, character, and incomparable texture.

Full-color images of the most creative and aspirational homes by AD100 designers and more showcase how these extraordinary materials transform any space—from calming bedrooms wrapped in grasscloth to scenic mural entryways and shimmering gold jewel box powder rooms. Design icons including Thom Filicia, Steven Gambrel, Alexa Hampton, Martyn Lawrence Bullard, Jeffrey Alan Marks, and Beth Webb reveal how they use Phillip Jeffries wallcovering to achieve instant depth and sophistication.

The story of Phillip Jeffries is also the story of centuries-old craft traditions. Readers will discover how natural materials such as raffia, hemp, jute, and more from Japan to Madagascar become the medium for modern art. Collaboration between the company and its artisans runs deep, preserving the handmade weaving, gilding, and mosaic techniques that sustain communities and evolving the design possibilities with collection after collection.

This book is the definitive source for those seeking to understand how texture and material can elevate a house into a truly personal home.
