Kandola

Kandola is a family run business across three generations, making luxurious interior furnishings and exclusive textile wallcoverings from Kandola House in Wolverhampton. The journey began in 1964 in fashion textiles, creating bespoke fabrics with embroidery patterns designed and produced in the United Kingdom, and that work brought the company to the attention of film studios: Kandola fabrics were specified for productions including Gladiator, Tomb Raider and Cleopatra.

It works to order for interior designers and specifiers rather than publishing a fixed seasonal range, sourcing and manufacturing across a wide spread of interior sectors. Its sister operations cover the rest of the process: Walltex provides textile lamination, backing and finishing, and K Decor supplies handloom silk brocades, limited edition textiles and acoustic fabric panels.

A house that will make a cloth to order is worth knowing about when a room needs something that does not exist yet, which on a bespoke commission is more often than you would think.
