Launch of Harlequin rug collection by Brink & Campman

Walker Greenbank plc (AIM: WGB), the luxury interior furnishings group whose brands include Sanderson, Morris & Co, Harlequin and Zoffany, is pleased to announce that Brink & Campman, the prestige rug maker based in the Netherlands, has launched a stunning collection of contemporary Harlequin rugs under a licensing agreement.

The collection of nine contemporary designs in a variety of sizes and colour options was officially launched this weekend in Hanover, Germany, at Domotex, a major international trade show for the flooring industry. The designs can be viewed at this link: www.brinkcampman.nl/harlequin/bc-collectie12-harlequin-01.html.

The nine designs - Enigma, Accent, Adele, Tembok, Strata, Barcode, Bella Stripe, Iona and Soleil - and striking colour options reflect the latest trends in the international interiors and flooring markets.

The rugs will be promoted globally through Brink & Campman's distribution base and will also be marketed through Harlequin's existing customers including John Lewis in the UK, which will make all the designs available online from February 2012.

The Brink & Campman rug collection is the latest licensing agreement to be signed by Walker Greenbank, which is rapidly creating an extensive range of lifestyle products to complement its wallpapers and fabrics. These lifestyle products, predominantly under the Harlequin, Sanderson and Morris & Co brands, include lighting, tableware, bedlinen, bath towels and stationery. Recent launches include a Harlequin lighting range by Elstead Lighting.

John Sach, Walker Greenbank's Chief Executive, commented: "This exciting licensing agreement with Brink & Campman has created an impressive collection of contemporary rugs, strengthening Harlequin's rapidly expanding range of lifestyle products and helping to position the brand as a world leader in interior furnishings."
