Aux Abris was founded by interior decorator and graphic designer Karen Robert in 2015. Karen Robert has a passion for interiors and founded Aux Abris out of the desire to add a layer of her own wallpaper patterns to her interior design projects. The name “Aux Abris” means “take shelter” which is a nod to both her vacation house in Shelter Island, and her husband who is half French.
Specializing in fine wallpapers with highly textured surfaces – including paperbacked grasscloths, silks, linens, and Japanese woven papers as well as other innovative grounds. The singular collection of patterns and murals are often inspired by early twentieth century art movements such as the Bauhaus, French Modernism or Art Nouveau.
Our wish is to inspire designers’ wit and imagination to create unconventional interiors; our short lead times and our myriad of custom options help make this possible.
