How It Started

Founded on the Oregon coast by a guy named Ted, this small handscreened wallpaper company flourished in the Age of Aquarius.

Many years later, some young designers seeking striking wallcoverings discovered Ted's greatness- just days before the designs and equipment were to be destroyed. Knowing what had to be done, these young designers headed west to save Ted's legacy.

Relocated to the Bywater District of New Orleans, Flavor Paper continued to print using Ted's traditional printing methods and vacuum table, but with greatly increased accuracy and detail.

Our Flavor Lab is now located in the Cobble Hill section of Brooklyn and is home to Flavor Paper's design and screenprinting operations. Two re-engineered versions of Ted's original table are the centerpiece of the Lab and the backbone of our wallpaper printing operation. To support our hand screened printing process, the Flavor Lab houses a darkroom, screen etching equipment, and an ink room where we custom mix all of our colors. Printing becomes street art as the front windows allow pedestrians to watch the process happen in the massive overhead mirrors. The Flavor Paper showroom is located on the second floor and offers clients a unique way to view wallpaper and experience the bespoke offerings that make Flavor Paper the only place to purchase fine wallpaper in the city of New York.

The New Orleans Flavor Paper location is currently being transformed into the Flavor Fabric facility, but more to follow on that later.

Contact us in our new Brooklyn, NY Flavor Lair to see samples of fine handscreened wallpaper designed in Ted's days or fresh from the next generation of Flavor Paper designers.
