Harlequin Launches Anthology

 

Walker Greenbank plc (AIM: WGB), the luxury interior furnishings group whose brands include Sanderson, Morris & Co., Harlequin, Zoffany and Scion, is pleased to announce that its Harlequin brand is today launching Anthology, two innovative collections of contemporary textured wallpapers targeting overseas markets.

 

The Anthology collections mark the first time that Walker Greenbank has designed product specifically aimed at the tastes of export customers. The collections will also be made available in the UK as their versatile and sophisticated designs are expected to have universal appeal.

 

Many of the designs are printed on the custom-built hybrid rotary/gravure machine installed last year at the Company's wallpaper printing factory in Loughborough. The combination of gravure and rotary techniques has allowed the creation of subtle, complex and distinctive textures.

 

A preview of the collections is available at Harlequin's website: http://www.harlequin.uk.com/anthology-coming-soon.aspx.

 

 

John Sach, Walker Greenbank's Chief Executive, said: "Anthology is an exciting opportunity for Walker Greenbank as it represents the first time we have created designs specifically targeting the tastes of overseas markets. Many of the innovative wallpaper textures in the Anthology collections have been created through our investment last year in the hybrid rotary/gravure machine at our Loughborough factory. We believe that Anthology will have worldwide appeal, giving it the potential ultimately to become a brand in its own right and to add to our stable of brand offerings."
