Our Story

Crafting Bespoke Wallcovering in Rural America

ASSEMBLAGE is an award-winning museum collected wallcovering manufacturer founded by husband and wife team Christian and Heidi Batteau with the intention of crafting the most exquisite handmade wallpaper available. ASSEMBLAGE is housed in a re-purposed seed mill whose sole source of water is a rain catchment system and only power source is solar. ASSEMBLAGE is continuing a rich tradition of American craftsmanship by sourcing the finest materials, choosing sustainable manufacturing processes and taking pride in what they make.

Heidi and Christian both hold degrees in fine art and have been collaborating for almost 2 decades. Together they bring years of artist methods and material investigation to the handcrafted, fine art quality wallpapers they design and fabricate as ASSEMBLAGE. These methods involve pushing marble dust, encaustic, resin leaf and micaceous powders beyond the historical limits. Their broad array of mediums is approached through additive and subtractive processes, tooling, burnishing and several proprietary techniques they have invented and refined.

They have created wallpapers for clients such as Chanel, Louis Vuitton, Tiffany, Saks 5th Ave, Kwiat, Dior, Chloe, CallisonRTKL, Rockwell Group, Champalimaud Design, De La Torre Design, CetraRuddy Architecture,  Gensler, Pembrooke & Ives Inc, Rodney Lawrence Inc, Wynn Resorts, BBG-BBGM, HOK, The Royal Automotive club in London, David Collins Studio, SR Gambrel, Timothy Whealon Interiors, Axel Vervoordt, and Aero Studios to name a few.

Their work has appeared in publications such as Dwell, Vogue, Metropolis, Garden & Gun, Surface, ARTnews, Veranda, Interior Design, Art Forum, Elle Décor, FiberArts, and The New York Times. Together they travel the world and continue to bring their inspiration and awe into the ASSEMBLAGE studio to inspire their creations.

ASSEMBLAGE is now available through HOLLY HUNT and HOLLY HUNT partner showrooms throughout the US and Europe. And through Altfield Interiors throughout Asia. All ASSEMBLAGE products are proudly made in the USA by a tight knit studio of exceptional artisans; masters in their respective fields.
