COMPANY STRUCTURE PROFESSIONAL LOG IN REGISTER My Cart Search Residential Contract MuralsBrands CustomAbout Home About HERITAGE The Lafoy family of Lyon, France have been involved with wallpaper from that time until the present. In 1938 Henry Lafoy founded a wallpaper business which was titled Consortium du Papier Peint. This company pioneered many developments in wallpaper, the most important of which was truly permanent printing or inalterable wallpaper. The name of the company became Inaltera S.A. (inalterable). Henry introduced héliogravure (rotogravure) printing and paper backed vinyl to wallpaper. Inaltera produced surface print, hand flock, rotogravure, handprint, transfer print and many different types of textile wallcoverings. They also produced an ancient product based on casein (milk) inks. In 1976 Inaltera S.A. created a subsidiary in New York City called Inaltera Wallcoverings Inc. This company imported the prestigious wallcoverings from France. Growth was strong as the quality products with an avante garde tendency gained international recognition. There were many famous installations of our products, including the White House and numerous stars. Through mergers and acquisitions the fortunes of Inaltera SA changed. In 1985, the current management of the US Company bought the shares from the French parent and changed the name to Wallquest Inc. Wallquest has since evolved into one of the most prestigious names in the wallcovering industry. Known for our commitment to design, product innovation and printing excellence, we maintain the link to the tradition of designing and manufacturing wallcoverings. President and Owner, John Collins STUDIO The creativity of our in-house design studio is central to our success. The collaborative process leads to the most innovative and inspiring wallcoverings in the market today. MANUFACTURING GRAVURE A mix of new technology and the skill of the human hand.
