Sporting Wallpaper Ltd are launching a licensed England Rugby feature wallpaper this Autumn that will capture the residential as well as the commercial interiors market.
It is designed from Twickenham programmes and match tickets from the World Rugby Museum collection.
It features the first ever Twickenham International match programme, England v Wales in 1910 and the programme from the Centenary match 100 years later. As well as the programme from the 100th match between England and Ireland, a rare programme from England v Australia in 1958, the England v Argentina programme in 1978 as well as a ticket from an England v Scotland match in 1911. In addition to this there are tickets from England v New Zealand in 1936, England v Australia in 1948 and England v South Africa in 1961. There are many other programmes and tickets included.
The design has been carried out with care to ensure that home nations – England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales are all well represented, as well as France, Italy, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Russia, Canada and Argentina.
Frances Titmus Mather at Sporting Wallpaper Ltd says:
“It’s a very exciting new product which will create a real impact wherever it is used. There is nothing like it in the market to date. It takes putting posters of your favourite team on the wall to the next level.”
“We believe that it will appeal to a wide range of customers – residentially, children in their bedrooms and grown ups in their ‘man caves’ and home offices and commercially – sporting venues including pubs and restaurants, rugby club changing rooms and bars, as well as schools and universities.”
The wallpaper has been cleverly designed so that it will sit well within an existing colour scheme, customers will not feel that they have to redecorate an entire room to be able to use this paper.
Jane Barron, RFU Licensing & Marketing Manager “We had a inspiration day with Sporting Wallpaper delving into the World Rugby Museum collection. The end product shows the wonderful array of designs, fonts, imagery and colours used over the last 100 years of Twickenham match programmes and tickets; I can’t wait to see rugby feature walls popping up in homes, offices and rugby clubs.”
This wallpaper is a feature wallpaper, the average wall will require two or three rolls of wallpaper.
