See How Ressource Creates Paint Differently

French paint manufacturer Ressource brings a fresh approach to the paint industry despite having been around since 1946. Long before it was trendy, they focused on eco-friendly practices making it no surprise the company has outlasted most other independent French paint manufacturers long after others have shuttered. Currently, the Provence-based Ressource produces more than 950 beautiful hues that the United States can finally get their hands on after they recently opened a new showroom in New York City. Since many of us hadn’t heard about the indie brand, we’re taking a closer look inside to see how they’re creating paint differently, in this bonus Deconstruction.

Ressource displays a joyful, nurtured and colorful Art de vivre which strives to enhance and bring harmony to everyday life. New color trends that keep the company at the forefront of colors in fashion, decoration, and artistic creation in general.

Every year, Ressource creates and makes a paint collection “signed” by a modern designer, architect….in order to continuously expand its range of color. Ressource’s new collections are always the result of encounters, affinities between people passionate about color. There are no rules, there is no strict timetable to release a new collection, some collaboration studies take longer than others. We are committed to creating inspiring colors to encourage the creativity of our clients. Ressource gives “carte blanche” to its partners to name their own colors.
