To bring walls to life...
That was our mission when we started out in 1974 with only four employees in the proverbial “garage”. We’ve come a long way since then. Today, A.S. Création is one of the leading wallpaper manufacturers in Western Europe. When it comes to home décor, the innovative design of our wallpapers are the stuff of dreams for people the world over. And in Gent home.
We’ve now extended our product range to include decorative fabrics. All the better to fulfil our mission: To inspire people with designs that effortlessly create a special atmosphere in their homes. That’s what we work passionately to do, day in, day out.

The A.S. Création Group comprises the two Divisions Wallpaper and Furnishing Fabrics. The Wallpaper Division produces and distributes wallpapers and borders worldwide and is the larger of the two segments, accounting for more than 90% of Group sales. The wallpapers are mainly produced in Germany by A.S. Création Tapeten AG at Wiehl-Bomig.
A.S. Création Tapeten AG is managed by three Managing Board members and six Supervisory Board members.
In the Wallpaper Division, A.S. Création distinguishes between the brands "innova", "A.S. Création", "livingwalls" and "Architects Paper".
The term compliance basically describes the observance of rules in the form of law and legislation and thus has a manifold effect on the most diverse areas of the company.

Design is the ray of light in a humdrum day.
What is more beautiful than wallpapers? Beautiful wallpapers!
The top-class design is what makes our wallpapers so special. That’s why, year on year in our company workshop, we create new and exciting collections – many of them in collaboration with well-known designers such as Wolfgang Joop, Michael Michalsky or Daniel Hechter. Every year we create around 2,000 new designs for our brands Architects Paper, livingwalls and Innova as well as for licenced brands such as Versace or Daniel Hechter.
Lifestyle made in Germany
Our passion for wallpapers has spread worldwide. With a strong international sales network and our own sales companies in the Netherlands, France, England and Russia, we supply over 100 countries in 5 continents.
We produce most of our wallpapers at our production plant in Wiehl-Bomig. We also serve the East European market with a production facility in Belarus.
Perfect match: Wallpaper and decorative fabrics
Wallpapers turn houses into homes – and matching decorative fabrics provide the perfect finish. That’s why in 2001 we brought on board the long-established textile company Fuggerhaus from Marienheide.
The subsidiary is the ideal addition to our portfolio with fabrics for drapes, curtains and upholstery.
