La collection signature sera considérablement élargie en 2014 avec le lancement de ses 4 catalogues différents mais complémentaires comprenant tissu de recouvrement, tentures, papier peint et une gamme d'éléments allant du sobre à l'audacieux. (éléments pouvant être n'importe quel accessoire des verticaux à la statue de bronze) :-)

disagree  kashew: Sorry, I think they are other products than wallcoverings. So not describing wallpaper. // I see, but why extrapolate with "allant du sobre à l'audacieux"?

  -> papiers peints et...une gamme je ne dis pas que le papier peint est le sujet ici. Yes and why not extrapolate when it comes to wording something that is supposed to be appealing? :-) I explained my choice up in my comment. Voilage is right for sheers.
agree  Marcombes (X): ,

  -> merci Marcombes! But I am afraid this is not the best answer. I prefer by far Bernard's

transparence & structures


Explanation:
Je pense qu'il s'agit d'échantillons pour des voilages et des tissus pour coussins ou jetés de lit qui jouent avec la transparence et les structures géométriques comme dans le lien de kashew

(puisque les autres échantillons sont ceux pour le tapissier, les rideaux et les tentures)
