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. Her design aesthetic was honed during her many years living in Paris, London and Milan; she likes well-worn rooms with quirky modern touches and an exuberance of color, texture and pattern. 

Aux Abris prints on paperbacked grasscloths, silks, linens, and Japanese woven papers as well as other innovative grounds. Their singular collection of patterns and murals are often inspired by early twentieth century art movements such as the Bauhaus, French Modernism or Art Nouveau. The boutique studio bring a fresh eye to timeless wallpaper patterns and reinvent them for modern interiors pushing the boundaries of texture, color, and design.
