Spotted in the streets of Paris 🇫🇷
These French Woven Timber Blinds (Bois Tissé) are a true piece of design history. In Paris, they’re often installed externally, with the city’s inward-opening windows making them a practical and elegant solution for shading while adding warmth, texture and character to the façade.
Peter Meyer founded the business in 1987 with these very blinds, and more than 30 years later we’re still proud to offer Australia’s most extensive collection of authentic French Woven Timber Blinds, continuing the legacy that started it all.
While travelling through France, Simon and his family also had the opportunity to visit the Ballauff office and showroom. Seeing the heritage of the brand firsthand and the incredible history behind these iconic woven timbers was a special experience, and a reminder of the longstanding relationship that has helped shape our business for decades.
While they’re a common sight throughout France, we rarely see them used externally here in Australia. After spotting these on the streets of Paris, we couldn’t help but think what a stunning architectural feature they could make on the right Australian home.
