There are people who intuitively understand that the way we make our beds says something about how we intend to live. Elizabeth Vallino is one of those people. An interior designer based in Santa Barbara, Elizabeth spent years collecting fragments of inspiration: vintage fabric scraps, beautiful stationery, antique textiles, and notebooks filled with sketches and ideas. Over time, those collections began to form a cohesive vision that would eventually become Cherval Studio.While researching historic decorative arts, Elizabeth fell down the rabbit hole of eighteenth-century Dominoté papers produced in France and Italy. Captivated by their charm, irregularity, and sense of history, she began adapting the patterns for contemporary use, first printing them on paper goods and later imagining them on textiles.Determined to bring the collection to life, she traveled to New York to meet with Portuguese textile makers who shared her commitment to craftsmanship and quality. There, the first Cherval bedding collection began to take shape. The fabrics were refined through countless rounds of testing and washing until they achieved the crisp, cool hand and enduring character that define the collection today.The Cherval tent emerged as a symbol of the brand. A humble striped shelter open on all sides, it welcomes whoever arrives next. It reflects Elizabeth’s belief that home is not a fixed place but a feeling created through acts of generosity, comfort, and care. Cherval Studio officially launched in October 2023 and continues to draw inspiration from the rituals that make a house feel lived in and loved.
