That&#8217;s the case with Quenin, a French fabric and wallcovering company founded in 1865; bought by Leli\u00e8vre Paris in 1973, by the 1990s it had disappeared as a distinct brand name, although Leli\u00e8vre continued to use its mill in Lyon, France&#8217;s textile-making capital. Now, Quenin has been reawakened.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We see really different style tribes in our industry, and this meets the demand for maximalism and a return to traditional fabrics,&#8221; explained CEO Emmanuel Leli\u00e8vre, launching Quenin&#8217;s first collection at London Design Week 2024. <em>Belle Epoque<\/em> celebrates Napoleon III style, which flourished in the last half of the 19th century, with many of its designs derived from documents in Quenin&#8217;s considerable archives.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<style type=\"text\/css\">\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 {\n\t\t\t\tmargin: auto;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 .gallery-item {\n\t\t\t\tfloat: left;\n\t\t\t\tmargin-top: 10px;\n\t\t\t\ttext-align: center;\n\t\t\t\twidth: 50%;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 img {\n\t\t\t\tborder: 2px solid #cfcfcf;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 .gallery-caption {\n\t\t\t\tmargin-left: 0;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t\/* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes\/media.php *\/\n\t\t<\/style>\n\t\t<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-41513 gallery-columns-2 gallery-size-full'><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/www.dcch.co.uk\/london-design-week\/lelievre-quenin-launch\/quenin1865_credit-photo-alexandre-tabaste-21\/'><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"1333\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dcch.co.uk\/london-design-week\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/QUENIN1865_credit-photo-Alexandre-Tabaste-21.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"Quenin fabrics by Lelievre Paris\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.dcch.co.uk\/london-design-week\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/QUENIN1865_credit-photo-Alexandre-Tabaste-21.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.dcch.co.uk\/london-design-week\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/QUENIN1865_credit-photo-Alexandre-Tabaste-21-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.dcch.co.uk\/london-design-week\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/QUENIN1865_credit-photo-Alexandre-Tabaste-21-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.dcch.co.uk\/london-design-week\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/QUENIN1865_credit-photo-Alexandre-Tabaste-21-600x800.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.dcch.co.uk\/london-design-week\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/QUENIN1865_credit-photo-Alexandre-Tabaste-21-700x933.jpg 700w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/www.dcch.co.uk\/london-design-week\/lelievre-quenin-launch\/quenin1865_credit-photo-alexandre-tabaste-8\/'><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"1333\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dcch.co.uk\/london-design-week\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/QUENIN1865_credit-photo-Alexandre-Tabaste-8.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"Quenin fabrics by Lelievre Paris\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.dcch.co.uk\/london-design-week\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/QUENIN1865_credit-photo-Alexandre-Tabaste-8.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.dcch.co.uk\/london-design-week\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/QUENIN1865_credit-photo-Alexandre-Tabaste-8-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.dcch.co.uk\/london-design-week\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/QUENIN1865_credit-photo-Alexandre-Tabaste-8-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.dcch.co.uk\/london-design-week\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/QUENIN1865_credit-photo-Alexandre-Tabaste-8-600x800.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.dcch.co.uk\/london-design-week\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/QUENIN1865_credit-photo-Alexandre-Tabaste-8-700x933.jpg 700w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><br style=\"clear: both\" \/>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n<p>&#8220;We used old documents, and adapted it to the new style,&#8221; explained Leli\u00e8vre. &#8216;\u00c9glantine&#8217; is a classic Indienne fabric updated, which has been recoloured for contemporary tastes, and redrawn to retain all the subtle irregularities of the original archive document.
