With more than 75 years immersed in the world of passementerie, Samuel & Sons is a leading source for the finest interior trimmings. A family-owned company, it is devoted to craftsmanship and to the reinvention of passementerie to reflect both contemporary innovation and the heritage of traditional interiors.
Milton De Paul is the Vice President of Creative at Samuel & Sons, where he oversees the brand’s creative direction across branding, marketing, visual content and events worldwide.
For Palm Beach Cottages & Gardens, Milton reimagined scenes and vignettes of Palm Beach life. Palm trees were assembled using bullion fringe and cords for the fronds, with brush fringe and jute trims adorning trunks molded from a combination of papier-mâché and clay. For our cover image, he created a miniature cabana, complete with beach chairs constructed from colorful striped borders, and parasols made with raffia rosettes.
Perhaps never before has passementerie been used in such an original, creative and playful way.
