Toile de Jouy: A Timeless French Classic
Originating in France in the 18th century, Toile de Jouy is a cotton fabric renowned for its intricate monochromatic patterns, traditionally depicting pastoral, mythological and historical scenes.
The name comes from Jouy-en-Josas, near Versailles, where the German-born craftsman and entrepreneur Christophe-Philippe Oberkampf founded the famous Jouy Manufactory in 1760.
The manufacture quickly became renowned for the quality of its textiles and the sophistication of its decorative designs.
Oberkampf helped revolutionise textile production by introducing engraved copper rollers, allowing increasingly complex and detailed motifs to be reproduced through continuous printing.
Initially appreciated by the nobility and upper bourgeoisie, Toile de Jouy gradually became a symbol of French craftsmanship and savoir-faire.
Today, this iconic pattern continues to inspire the worlds of interior design and fashion, confirming its status as a timeless classic.
Caran d’Ache 849 Toile de Jouy Set Design
The distinctive Toile de Jouy-inspired pattern was created by artist Suzanne Pinon and reinterpreted for Caran d’Ache with a graphic depicting some of Geneva’s iconic landmarks, connecting the French decorative tradition with the Swiss identity of the Maison.
The set includes:

The iconic Caran d’Ache 849 features its characteristic hexagonal aluminium body, providing a combination of lightness, durability and comfort.
