A Memorable Trip to London
For two years in a row, Wells Abbott clients have had the opportunity to be invited to Design Destination London. At this annual trip, Fermoie and other prestigious brands whisk designers off to behind-the-scenes tours, intimate meals, and exclusive presentations.
Designers joined Fermoie on a trip to their studio and factory complex, located in the country town of Marlborough. At the facility, designers met Fermoie founders Tom Helme and Martin Ephson, followed by a tour of the design studio, print facility, and workroom. Finally, they got a sneak peek at yet-to-be-released collections.
Fermoie is a creator of fine fabrics, all designed and manufactured entirely in-house in the UK.

The Artistic Process
Every Fermoie design begins with the drawn line, with the full repeat pattern meticulously created by hand, on paper, before it’s translated to screen engraving.
Every color is individually created, mixed and edited in-house according to Fermoie's carefully considered palette and artistic principles.
Customers can be confident that any chosen combination will match perfectly, ensuring aesthetic harmony, artistic balance and design integrity.

A Colorful History
Fermoie was founded in August 2012 by Tom Helme and Martin Ephson, best friends since school.
In his search for colours to match those used in the 18th and 19th centuries in Interior decoration, Tom found a company called Farrow & Ball making high quality paints in excellent colors.
Early Farrow & Ball Paints
Tom and Martin bought this company in 1993, growing it over 13 years to an international and hugely respected brand making paints and printing wallpapers before selling in 2006.
Tom and Martin's passion led to the creation of Fermoie after a short break following the sale of Farrow & Ball. Today, Fermoie designs the whole range in our their studio, and they print all of their fabrics in their own factory, retaining control of the whole process.
