Faux Bois

Faux Bois is a fancy, well actually french wood for 'false wood'. With the growing popularity of natural and organic looking elements in home design and decor, this classic pattern is having a resurgence.
 It’s been around at least since 1875, when Joseph Monier first designed a bridge imagined after timbers and logs.

The interpretation of wood and wood grain in materials as diverse as concrete and linen. This all season design adds a warm and woodsy look to everything from wallpapers to pillows to planters and furniture.
